Miguel de Almazán

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Miguel de Almazán was a Marrano of Saragossa, and private secretary to King Ferdinand of Aragon.[1] He was burned at the stake on the accusation of being an adherent of Judaism. One month later, March 18, 1486, Manuel de Almaçan of Saragossa suffered the same fate.
