Pushed from home by political, economic and religious instability, and attracted to Spain by the wealth and opportunities of its burgeoning economy and empire, the incoming Irish fell prey to the Spanish Inquisition. For the inquisitors, the Irish, as vassals of Elizabeth I, were initially viewed as a heretical threat and suffered prosecution for Protestant heresy. However, for most Irish migrants, their dual status as English vassals and loyal Catholics permitted them to adapt quickly to provide brokerage and intermediary services to the Spanish state, mediating informally between it and Protestant jurisdictions, especially England. The Irish were particularly successful in forging an association with the Inquisition to convert incoming Protestant soldiers, merchants and operatives for useful service in Catholic Spain. As both victims and agents of the Inquisition, the Irish emerge as a versatile and complex migrant group. Their activities complicate our view of early modern migration and raise questions about the role of migrant groups and their foreign networks in the core historical narratives of Ireland, Spain and England, and in the history of their connections. Irish Voices from the Spanish Inquisition throws new light on how the Inquisition worked, not only as an organ of doctrinal police, but also in its unexpected role as a cross-creedal instrument of conversion and assimilation. 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aPhilosophy$xHistory 606 $aEurope$xHistory 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x1492- 606 $aReligion$xHistory 606 $aModern History 606 $aHistory of Philosophy 606 $aEuropean History 606 $aHistory of Early Modern Europe 606 $aHistory of Religion 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aPhilosophy$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x1492-. 615 0$aReligion$xHistory. 615 14$aModern History. 615 24$aHistory of Philosophy. 615 24$aEuropean History. 615 24$aHistory of Early Modern Europe. 615 24$aHistory of Religion. 676 $a946/.004916/200903 700 $aO'Connor$b Thomas$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0911371 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254778303321 996 $aIrish Voices from the Spanish Inquisition$92040955 997 $aUNINA
