In English | Family letter from Valério de Abrunhosa to Alexandre de Abrunhosa. The author asks his cousin (whom he calls his nephew) for news about his business, and he tells him about what his sister has written and about the future of his children. The defendants in these processes are Alexandre de Abrunhosa and his cousin Gastão de Abrunhosa, who, as other family members, were accused of Judaism in 1602. Alexandre de Abrunhosa, his sister Isabel de Abrunhosa, and his cousin, Ana de Abrunhosa, all lived in Lisbon, parish of Martyrs, where they had taken refuge to escape the wave of arrests made by the Inquisition in Serpa. Nevertheless, they were arrested in 1602. They were released in 1605, thanks to a pardon granted by the pope, largely because of the steps that Gastão de Abrunhosa promoted in Rome. Gastão de Abrunhosa fled to Spain in 1602, following the arrest of his cousins. In letters sent from there to Nicolau Agostinho (PSCR1317 and PSCR1318), it is clear that his intention is to move to Rome in search of justice. This letter (PSCR1320) was sent by mail, together with another one by the same author, to the table of the Inquisition on July 31, 1602, as is explained in the top of the document. |
