Fernán Díaz de Toledo
Fernán Díaz de Toledo was a Castilian Judeo-religious politician of the fifteenth century, by the Hebrew name Mose Hamomo. Among his positions were oidor and rapporteur of the Council, endorser, notary and royal secretary. Biography
Belonging to one of the most powerful conversational families, he chose those prestigious surnames when he converted to Christianity (not to be confused with Fernán Álvarez de Toledo, Duke of Alba); cousins were the accountant of Juan II of Castile, Alonso Álvarez de Toledo, oidor and lord of Olmedilla Pedro Diaz de Toledo or Pedro Diaz de la Olmedilla (who founded the Chapel of the Oidor of Alcalá de Henares), another Pedro Diaz de Toledo, Bishop of Malaga (1429-1499) and another Fernán Díaz de Toledo, Archdeacon of Niebla.
Fernán Díaz de Toledo stood out for his attitude contrary to the Statutes of blood cleaning that were implemented since the revolt of Pedro Sarmiento in Toledo (1449). In an Instruction of the Rapporteur commissioned by the bishop of Cuenca Lope de Barrientos, in addition to repeating theological arguments already used by Alonso Diaz de Montalvo, indicated the impossibility of separating the lineages of old Christians and new Christians, so mixed by then that the greater part of the noble houses (Manrique, Mendoza, Rojas, Salcedo, Hurtado de Mendoza, Ayala, Zúñiga, Arellano, etc.) as the royal house itself (the Trastámara, through the Enríquez) had Jewish ancestors. > Notes
