Re: This, That, and the Other (none / 0)

Yes, but his main interest appears to have been heretics and false converts, not Jews or Muslims. The main instigator of the expulsion of the Jews and the forcible conversion of the Moriscos was Cardinal Cisneros.

A vivid image of what should exist acts as a surrogate for reality. Pursuit of the image then prevents pursuit of the reality -- John K. Galbraith

Re: This, That, and the Other (none / 0)

Well, siegestate wrote about it not being nice to be a moor anytime after 1450, but qualified it with "the Catholic thing of forced conversions", which indeed came later. But without that qualification, I think he would be right, read e.g. this.

Re: This, That, and the Other (none / 0)

Again, I admit to only a handful of actual facts that I must merge with many hundreds of years of actual history, and appreciate your showing where to look for more data.

I just finished "The Spanish Armada" by Martin and Parker and was going to reach for something 100 years earlier...maybe I'll go earlier than that.

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.
