Egica enslaves Jews

On this date in 694
Egica forced Jews into slavery
Jews were condemned to slavery
By a Visigoth King named Egica
Convinced they were an adversary
Believing Jews and Muslims were in alliance 
He announced a veto
From them overthrowing Christian leaders
In the Seventeenth Council of Toledo
Forced into slavery 
Jews had to give up their land
While Jewish children were raised as Christians
All stemming from one ruler's demand
