Underscores Álvaro De Luna Summary
The anti-converso view by many was escalating in the first half of the fifteenth century as nobles' anger was rising against Juan II and Álvaro de Luna. In 1449 in Toledo when Pero Sarmiento led a band of rebels to take control of the city, the rebels declared their frustration and anger against Álvaro de Luna. They stated their displeasure with the placement of conversos in important administrative posts according to Kaplan (27) who adds:
