Pedro de Herrera
Pedro de Herrera was a
Spanish Converso leader. He led a community of Sephardic Jews who settled for two years in the town of Gibraltar
.
Herrera led a group of Jewish refugees from
Medina Sidonia and established a garrison of cavalry at his command. This lasted only 2 years though. In 1476, the Duke of Medina Sidonia realigned with Spain; the Sefardim were then forced back to Córdoba, many suffering persecution for heresy by the Inquisition
.
