In English | Family letter from Mariana de Morales Penso, a landlord's wife, to her sister, Ana Maria de Morales Penso, a lay sister in Odivelas convent. The author writes her sister, giving her news about the setbacks with their brother. The proceedings number 5414 from Lisbon Inquisition, which contain two letters (PSCR0376 and PSCR0377), concern Ana Maria de Morales Penso, accused of Judaism. Fernão Rodrigues Penso, father of Ana Maria, Mariana and Fernando de Morales Penso was first accused of Judaism in 1669. He spent seven years in prison, during the Pope’s interruption of Inquisitorial activity (1674-1681). He had been married to Beatriz Pessoa, but, after becoming a widower, he had children with other women, namely with Ana de Sousa, with whom he had seven children, including a boy named Fernando Rodrigues Penso. During his time in prison, his illegitimate children were taken care of by Mariana de Morales Penso and her husband, Pedro Olivares. This situation originated some setbacks between the several siblings, especially between the two sisters Ana Maria and Mariana and their brother Fernando, who they believed was better taken care of by their father than them. Although the father, Fernão, has never accused any of his children, Fernando accused the whole family. The three siblings were arrested and the two sisters were exposed to the rack, even though its use in women was forbidden. Fernando was sentenced to the exil in Brazil, but later, they were all set free. Before departing to Brazil, Fernando wrote a letter to a friend who was a priest, asking him to intervene on his behalf (PSCR0462). There is a wide bibliography concerning the history of the Penso family.
