Expulsion Of The Jews From Navarre
The Expulsion of the Jews from Navarre was decreed in 1498 by John III of Navarre and Catherine of Navarre under pressure from Ferdinand II of Aragon. Exiled Jews from Castile and Aragon sought refuge in Navarre after 1492 in places such as Tudela, thereby forking the Navarrese jewry into ''judíos nativos'' ('native Jews') and judíos ''nuevamente venidos'' ('newly arrived Jews'). The order of expulsion set a March 1498 deadline, offering Jews the choice of leaving or converting to Christianity. Having no easy way out of landlocked Navarre, most Jews converted and remained in the kingdom.

The capital city is Pamplona ().
