Ningun nación se aventaja a los Aragoneses en la veneracion y respeto al Santo Oficio; honor de todos es el gloriarse de esto.
Dormer, Anales de Aragón (1697), p. 118.Los señores de vassallos … en este Reyno son tan libres, ya que tienen oprimidos los Juezes reales y ecclesiasticos, querrian si pudiessen hazer lo mismo de los Inquisidores.

Saragossa to Suprema, 1550 (quoted by Contreras, in Hispania Sacra, 37 [1985], p. 507).V. M. sea servido de tener cuenta con la auctoridad deste Oficio y lo mucha que importa el conserbarlo, no solo para los negocios de la fe, pero aun para servicio de V. M.
To Suprema, 1560 (quoted by Carrasco Urgoiti, El problema morisco en Aragón, pp. 118–19).The most famous event in the history of the Inquisition of Saragossa – the murder of Inquisitor Pedro Arbués in 1485 – had several important results. As Aragon's greatest sixteenth-century historian noted, “Our Lord allowed, when they thought to extinguish this Holy Office, that … it was introduced with all the necessary vigor and authority.” Perhaps the most significant consequence of Arbués' death was not the bloody repression of Aragon's conversos (many more Judaizers died at Valencia than at Saragossa during the next fifty years), but rather a little-noted decree of King Ferdinand in December 1485.
