Moriscos and the Ottoman Agents

Reports reach our court of Morisco communities exchanging letters with agents of the sultan of Ottomans, who has made no secret of his sympathy for the crypto-Muslim people of Iberia. Whether these contacts amount to conspiracy or merely to the quiet correspondence of people clinging to a faith they can no longer practice openly is impossible to say with certainty, but the mere suspicion is enough to divide our council.

historical_info = d009_mudejar.6.historical_info Spanish authorities genuinely feared Morisco contact with the Ottomans and Barbary corsairs throughout the 16th century, and with good cause: intercepted letters and a handful of documented conspiracies, particularly around the 1560s, suggested at least some Morisco communities hoped for Ottoman intervention against Spain. This suspicion fed directly into the harsher policies that culminated in the 1568 Alpujarras rebellion and, eventually, the 1609 expulsion decree.
