Abstract


The attitude of the Jews to Christian power in Medieval Spain is deeply influenced by two factors: The traditional Jewish attitude to the non-Jewish government in Exile and the changing conditions in the position of the Jews in any given land and period. The important role played by the Jews in the two major Iberian kingdoms of Castile and Aragon brought the Jews closer than ever to the Christian courts. Hebrew legal sources reflect the respect and friendship that Jewish leaders felt towards kin¡ship and kings ip the Iberian peninsula.
