Abstract
In this article is estudied the case of Zamora’s Marina de Saavedra, accused of Protestantism in 1558. Her family and social context is reconstructed, and her place in the network of relationships created by the leaders of Castilian Protestantism. The nature of their beliefs and her process is discussed and the efforts of her family to recover the economic, social and symbolic capital of the lineage after the inquisitorial sentence. It demonstrates how the Protestant beliefs circulated fluidly on the substrate of the late medieval Castilian piety and the role of women in this process.Downloads
