until the end of this story.
The influence of the House of Tharsis over the Order of Preachers was maintained in the
next years, because the Circulus Domini Canis continued working in secrecy, trying to direct
the Inquisition against the members of the Chosen People and the Golems, attempting to
impulse the model of the Mystic Nation perfecting juridically during the reign of Philip the Fair
and concentrated in part by that Great King. This influence was felt above all in Spain, where
thanks to the campaigns of popular clarification of many preachers, amongst them Don Ferrán
Martinez, provisor of the Archbishopric of Seville and Lord of the Dog, were unleashed the
violent persecutions against Jews that ended in the killings of 1391 in Seville, Cordova, Toledo,
Ecija, Logroño, Burgos, Ocaña, and thirty more regions. From Castile, such fire passed to
Aragon; in Valence the population exterminated five thousands Jews and in Barcelona some
eleven thousand; until to the Balearics reached the popular fury agains the followers of
Jehovah Satan. In danger to be annihilated in Castile and Aragon, they founded refugee in
Portugal, where the anusim Don Moisés de Navarro, who had achieved two local bulls from the
Popes Clement VII and Boniface IX, who avoided the compulsive conversion of the Jews; such
Hebrew invasion, notwithstanding, would produce in short-term the hostility of the Christian
dwellers.
The Valencian Dominican San Vicente Ferrer, who possessed the charisma of the gift of
tongues and had preached in all the countries of Europe in its own languages, participated
actively in Anti-Hebrew campaign: he was who inspired the bull of Benedictine XIII that
prohibited to the Israelites the possession of the Talmud and obeyed them to «make tabards
with a russet sign to be recognized by everyone and to prevent the harm that their
treatment produces to the Christians». This occurred in 1412, when the persistent
Israelites started to return massively to Spain. Thereupon the persecutions re-started, which
were acquiring such cruelty that in 1473 took the Chosen People to propose the King Henry IV
the sale or renting of the City of Gibraltar to settle down on it, very Hebrew solution which was
logically denied.
After the death of this King, his sister received the Throne, Isabella I, married with
Ferdinand of Aragon. In 1478 the Catholic Kings directed to the Pope Sixtus IV to request the
dictation of a bull to authorize the operation of Inquisition in Castile; the purpose: to judge the
guilty of heresy, especially the Jews. Rapidly emitted, the bull permitted the formation of the
Tribunals of the Holy Office, entrusted to Order of Dominican Preachers. The promoter of such
initiative of the Catholic Kings was the prior of the Dominicans of Seville, Friar Alfonso de
Hojeda, Lord of the Dog, who knew to convince the Queen Isabella about the convenience to
make intervention to the Inquisition in the struggle against the satanic forces. At the beginning
the bull only acted as one threat more, thanks to indefatigable management of the Domini
Canis, Friar Alfonso de Hojeda, the provisor Don Pedro de Solís, the assistant Don Diego de
Merlo, and the secretary of the King, Pedro Martínez Camaño, is obtained to persuade the
Kings about the necessity to orchestrate the Inquisition with all his vigor to extirpate the social
body to the Judaism and the heresy. Thus, the Kings named in Medina the field of the first
inquisitors, the Dominican friars Miguel Morillo and Juan de San Martín, who would act
juridically helped by friar Felipe de Turdes and Ricardo de Tharsis, uncle and father of Lito de
Tharsis, respectively. Two Edicts written by them, giving a date for the repent of the Heretics,
after which would be judged, produced numerous conversions, but nothing prevented that two
