EventAcross the pillars
The Marrano Escape Network

Word has reached the tribunal of a network of New Christian merchants and sailors quietly arranging passage abroad for families who can no longer bear living under suspicion, their ships slipping out of harbor under cover of ordinary trade. Not every family that wishes to leave will find a place aboard, but some will, and no order from our Court Title reaches every ship before it clears the bar.

historical_info = d009_sephardi_catastrophe.9.historical_info Converso emigration networks operated for generations after the forced conversions, typically routing families through Bordeaux, Antwerp, or Ferrara before onward passage to safer havens such as the Ottoman Empire or, later, Amsterdam. These networks relied heavily on family and business ties among merchants who had themselves already emigrated, and the Portuguese crown periodically tried and failed to shut them down entirely, since the same merchant networks were often essential to its own overseas trade.
