In southern France, in Spain, and Portugal, the Inquisition was largely directed against the Jews.
The Inquisition culminated in the execution, expulsion or forced conversion of the Jews of Spain and Portugal between 1371 and 1492.
While the vast majority of Jews suffered massively under the Church's official persecution, there was one sort of "Jew" that prospered.
The "Good Jews" were former Jews who converted to Christianity and used their status as former Jews to lead the Church's persecution of the Jews who refused to convert.
In 1269, Cristiani convinced King Louis IX of France to force Jews to wear badges marking them as Jews.
As former Jews, who embraced the teachings of the Church, they legitimized the Church's persecution of the remaining Jews.
Like their predecessors in the Middle Ages, they see Jews who denounce Jews and the Jewish state as "Good Jews.".
