Maria Barbara Carillo
Maria Barbara Carillo (Jaén, Spain, 1625 – Madrid, 18 May 1721) was burned at the stake for heresy during the Spanish Inquisition. She was executed at the age of 95 or 96[1] and is the oldest person known to have been executed at the instigation of the Spanish Inquisition.[2]
Carillo was sentenced to death for heresy for returning to her faith in Judaism. She belonged to a large group of people that were Jews baptized by compulsion, who were accused of secretly practicing the Jewish religion.
