The Hospitallers, the Mediterranean and Europe
Modern study of the Hospitallers, of other military-religious orders, and of their activities both in the Mediterranean and in Europe has been deeply influenced by the work of Anthony Luttrell. To mark his 75th birthday in October 2007 twenty-three colleagues from ten different countries have contributed to this volume. The first section focuses on the crusading period in the Holy Land, considering the Hospital in Jerusalem, relations with the Assassins, finances, indulgences, transportation and the careers of the brothers and knights. The second and third sections move to the later Middle Ages, when the Hospitallers had their centre on Rhodes, and military and charitable activities in the E...
Inquisition and Society in the Kingdom of Valencia, 1478-1834
Stephen Haliczer has mined rich documentary sources to produce the most comprehensive and enlightening picture yet of the Inquisition in Spain. The kingdom of Valencia occupies a uniquely important place in the history of the Spanish Inquisition because of its large Muslim and Jewish populations and because it was a Catalan kingdom, more or less "occupied" by the despised Castilians who introduced the Inquisition. Haliczer underscores the intensely regional nature of the Valencian tribunal. He shows how the prosecution of religious deviants, the recruitment and professional activity of Inquisitors and officials, and the relations between the Inquisition and the majority Old Christian populat...
Santa María de Montesa
La Orden de Santa María de Montesa y San Jorge de Alfama fue la última orden militar fundada en época medieval en la Península Ibérica, fruto del proceso de disolución de la Orden del Temple entre 1307 y 1312. La obra reúne las aportaciones de la gran mayoría de los investigadores montesianos en activo que, sin duda, representan fielmente las diversas líneas de investigación de los últimos años pero también son reflejo del relevo generacional, con la incorporación de nuevas miradas sobre la institución, su organización y algunos de sus principales miembros a lo largo de quinientos años. Esta obra coral, estructurada en torno a cinco ejes (‘Orígenes y contexto’, ‘Montesa en tiempos de sus maestres’, ‘Montesa administrada por la Corona’, ‘Los montesianos’ y ‘Más allá de Montesa moderna’), ofrece al lector interesado una panorámica actualizada de los conocimientos sobre la orden militar valenciana por excelencia.
The Irish in the Spanish Armies in the Seventeenth Century
Provides a wealth of detail on how "the wild geese" - the Irish who refused to submit to the English - played a significant role in the armies of Spain. It is well-known that many Irishmen who refused to submit to the English in the reigns of Elizabeth and the early Stuart kings, including the famous earls of Tyrone and Tyrconnell, went to fight for the king of Spain, but what they did when they joined the Spanish armies is much less well-known. This book provides a wealth of detail on the activities of the Irish in the Spanish armies in the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It outlines who the Irish soldiers were, how they were recruited and the terms under which they served. It dis...

Black Voices in Early Modern Spanish Literature, 1500-1750
In this groundbreaking study, Diana Berruezo-Sánchez recovers key chapters in the history of Afro-Iberian diasporas by exploring the literary contributions and life experiences of black African communities and individuals in early modern Spain. From the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, international trade involving chattel slavery led to significant populations of enslaved, free(d), and half-manumitted black African women, men, and children in the Iberian Peninsula. These demographic changes transformed Spain's urban and social landscapes. In exploring Spain's role in the transatlantic slave trade and its effects on cultural forms of the period, Berruezo-Sánchez examines a broad rang...

Forced Conversion in Christianity, Judaism and Islam
Focusing on the Iberian Peninsula but examining related European and Mediterranean contexts as well, Forced Conversion in Christianity, Judaism and Islam traces how Christians, Jews, and Muslims grappled with the contradictory phenomenon of faith brought about by constraint and compulsion. Forced conversion brought into sharp relief the tensions among the accepted notion of faith as a voluntary act, the desire to maintain “pure” communities, and the universal truth claims of radical monotheism. Offering a comparative view of an important yet insufficiently studied phenomenon in the history of religions, this collection of essays explores the ways in which religion and violence reshaped these three religions and the ways we understand them today.
