History
History
The name is of Iberian origin. At that time there were a lot of villages with names ending in "que". After the reconquest of Toledo, the village belonged to the Knights Hospitaller. On the eve of the expulsion of Spain's Jews in 1492, Tembleque had a small Jewish community, remembered through the activities of the moneylender Mose Abenamias, who appears to have been the village's main source of credit. Several cases preserved in royal orders show how, after the expulsion, his promissory notes (written promises to repay debts) were sold to Christian residents.
