Another Berber dynasty, the Almohads, conquered Córdoba in 1148 and abolished "dhimmi" status (i.e., state protection of non-Muslims ensured through payment of a tax, the "jizya") in some of their territories. The loss of this status left the Jewish and Christian communities with conversion to Islam, death, or exile. Many Jews were forced to convert, but due to suspicion by the authorities of fake conversions, the new converts had to wear identifying clothing that set them apart and made them subject to public scrutiny.
