Diego Mateo Zapata

Clara was eventually sentenced to life in prison and had her assets partially confiscated, while Diego's father Francisco was acquitted of the charges.

Because of the effect of his mother's sentence, Diego henceforth became a Crypto-Jew, openly presenting as a Christian while privately practicing Judaism.

Zapata also attended Luis Manuel Fernández de Portocarrero, archbishop of Toledo, and the Duke of Medinaceli, among other nobles and court figures.

After only one year of exile, however, Zapata returned to Madrid under the protection of the Duke of Medinaceli and King Philip V and resumed his medical activities.
