In English | Letter from Pedro de Bentura de Vez, a parish priest, to Fernando Antonio de Torres. The author, a priest from the parish of Fernán-Caballero, writes to Fernando Antonio de Torres to inform him about the situation of several couples of the village because of Antonio Romero´s wife entanglements. Antonio Romero was accused by the Holy Office of obstructing justice and in between 1764 and 1765, he was admonished for the aforementioned offence. He was accused of threatening various witnesses in a pendent case against his wife, Gregoria Ruiz, who was accused of heretic and injurious behaviour and of being a sorceress and a healer. Antonio looked for the witnesses and urged them to tell him what they had declared. He also asked them to favour her in their statements. This letter is provided by the addressee, Fernando Antonio de Torres, as an evidence to the case. |
