I never knew anything about this I wish there were more details like how many men and how were they caught etc.also the question was a little confusing.

World human history is squalid with countless, and also no doubt, undocumented, even forgotten, atrocities. Shame that more still don't realize the wisdom of doing unto others just as we'd wish unto ourselves...

Amazing what history books DON'T teach us.

Spain was expanding its colonial power in the 16th century. Iceland was probably worried that they would be next.

Basque is not a country, but a region. We have basques also in France, it’s called PAYS BASQUE..

Tremain White, I wonder if at least one gene in humans is an animal instinct to survive against any humans, especially when the humans are different. It seems humans have always been violent; furthermore, the more a society had, the more they were at war. Sound familiar?

Anyone who believes that people are inherently good are naive. Our known history & unknown history proves this...even today.

GoGo BOSS Prague, excuse me! Pays Basque in French and Pais Vasco in Spanish mean Basque Country. So it is a Country but without a State.

STORMN, Perhaps, but the killings started when a single starving Basque entered a house while the occupants were not home and stole food.

luckycatfay, Including both killings, I believe there were 32, with one survivor, who escaped. The original group of Basques had survived a shipwreck, in which many died then.
