Abstract


As a manifestation of his independent frame of mind and individualistic policy, Charles III, King of Navarre used to welcome Jewish foreigners in bis kingdom. In 1401-1402 he received Hasdai Crescas, of Zaragoza, in Sangüesa, to talk about the settlement in Tudela of some Zaragozan Jewish families. The King also invited Maestre Ezdra Alazar, a physician of Zaragoza, keeping in his service doctor Josef ben Wakkar of Castilla as well. This fact is explained through Charles III's general policy of protecting the aljamas and promoting the élite of the Jews to higher responsibilities, while leading them into conversion.
