December 5, 1496 Manuel I of Portugal issued a decree expelling the Jews from Portugal. He wished to marry his nephew Alfonso's widow Isabella of Aragon but her parents Ferdinand and Isabella would not agree to wed her into a country that still allowed Jews, having expelled them from Spain. Jewish people were forced to either convert or leave the country without their children. Those who did convert though could not face inquisition over their new beliefs for thirty years (which got extended). And when the Lisbon Massacre happened ten years later, the murder of suspected Jews, Manuel saw to the execution of the leaders.
