[1526]. Carta de Antonio de Medrano, cura, para Juana López.

Author(s) Antonio de Medrano      
Addressee(s) Juana López      
In English

Love letter from Antonio de Medrano, priest, to Juana López.

The author expresses his romantic feelings towards the recipient, using for this a mystical code.

The defendant in this process was Antonio de Medrano, a priest in Navarrete and Fuenmayor (La Rioja). In 1526, he was accused by the Inquisition of Logroño of making heretical propositions. The accusation was based on three letters he had sent to Juana López, although the real motivation was the desire of the Cabredo family to deprive Antonio de Medrano of the power he had in Navarrete y Fuenmayor. Because of this, he was condemned to abjure de levi and to pay 100 gold ducats. He was also forbidden from preaching in private homes and from delivering the communion to minors. Four years later, he was again accused by the Inquisition, this time in Toledo, and his crimes here were the practice of "alumbrismo" and epicureanism. He was forced to abjure de vehementi in a public auto de fé and to the suspension of his priesthood for two years, and condemned to perpetual reclusion in a monastery.
