The Disputation of Tortosa was one of the famous ordered disputations between Christians and Jews of the Middle Ages, a series of sixty nine sessions held in the years 1413–1414 in the city of Tortosa, Principality of Catalonia (Crown of Aragon, part of modern-day Spain). The disputation of Tortosa was not a free and authentic debate, but rather a coercive, one-sided theological showdown designed to force the conversion of Jewish leaders and the Jewish population.
