Event
The Expulsion of Muslims from Portugal
After finishing our Reconquista in 1249, with the capture of the Algarve, our realm was home for thousands of Muslim subjects of somewhat doubtful allegiance. As in other parts of Iberia, our Target Character fears that the Muslim people that populate their realm might not be the loyal subjects they seem to be. Advisors have come with different alternatives, but all of them seem to show the possibility of risks that can jeopardize the stability of our Flavor Rank and ruin it all.

2573historical_info = flavor_por.31.historical_info The expulsion of Muslims from Portugal, often overshadowed by the forced conversion of Jews, occurred in December 1496. Despite Portugal exhibiting higher tolerance for Muslim minorities than other European regions, Manuel I ordered their departure without clear provocation. Initially contemplating forced conversion or execution, the Portuguese government, fearing retaliation from North African Muslim kingdoms, opted for deportations. The motivations behind Manuel I's order remain unclear, with theories ranging from religious uniformity aspirations linked to the 'Catholic Monarchs' Isabella and Ferdinand to ambitions of conquering Morocco or influence from Dominican confessor Friar Jorge Vogado. The majority fled to North Africa.
