King Chintilla decrees at the Sixth Council …

Years: 638 - 638

King Chintilla decrees at the Sixth Council of Toledo, held in 638, that only Catholics are permitted to live in Visigothic Spain.

Despite this ban, many Jews continue to live here.

Moreover, a decree is enacted whereby each successive King must swear to continue a policy of “not permitting the Jews of infringing this holy faith.”
