The Inquisition Turns on Conversos
The tribunal established under our Local Courts has spent its first years on ordinary matters of doctrine, but its inquisitors have grown restless watching the New Christian households of Lisbon, Porto, and Évora go unexamined generation after generation. A mandate to look into their private devotions is theirs for the asking, and they have made clear they are asking.

historical_info = d009_sephardi_catastrophe.7.historical_info The Portuguese Inquisition was formally established in 1536, decades after Spain's, and initially moved cautiously against the converso population out of concern for the economic damage further persecution might cause. That caution did not last, by the mid-16th century, Portuguese tribunals in Lisbon, Coimbra, and Évora were conducting large-scale prosecutions of New Christians suspected of crypto-Judaism, driving further waves of emigration to Amsterdam, Italy, and the Ottoman Empire.
