Pedro de Arbués C.R.S.A. (c. 1441 – September 17 1485) was an official of the Spanish Inquisition who was assassinated in the La Seo Cathedral of Zaragoza in 1485 in an alleged plot by conversos and Jews. He was very quickly venerated as a saint by popular acclaim and his death greatly assisted the Inquisition and its Inquisitor General Tomás de Torquemada in their campaign against heresy and crypto-Judaism.Arbués was canonized in 1867.
