Pedro de Arbués
Pedro de Arbués was an official of the
Spanish Inquisition who was assassinated in
Saragossa Cathedral in
1484 in an alleged plot by conversos and
Jews. He was very quickly made a
saint by popular acclaim and his death greatly assisted the Inquisition and its Inquisitor General,
Tomás de Torquemada, in their campaign against
heresy and
crypto-Judaism.
