Abstract
As soon as the Moriscos were expelled from Valencia at the end of 1609, Don Juan de Mendoza, marquis of San Germán, started the expulsion of the descendants of Moors from Andalusia, Murcia and Hornachos (Badajoz). In fact, on 17 January 1610, the edict of expulsion was published in Seville. However, in spite of the intransigence showed when these edicts were applied, the exile process was far from being carried out successfully. This was due to constant changes but also to the fact that it took time to the Royal Council to solve out the doubts about the interpretation of royal edicts. Subsequent edicts, in order to complete this operation, through a second and then a third expulsion, demostrated the rushed nature of the first operation and revealed that the Moriscos could rely on a great number of complicities when they decided to stay.Downloads
