"Los Moriscos que están padeciendo en Alicante": Post-Expulsion Morisco Litigation in the Case of La Flor de la Mar

This thesis examines post-expulsion Morisco litigation in early modern Spain via Visconsi's original transcription of the case, Consultas y causa contra el capitán de navío Guillermo Garret, inglés, por tráfico de personas y sustracción de bienes. It considers the legal position of newly expelled religious minorities returned to the Iberian Peninsula. In particular, it suggests that the aforementioned case study provides a framework for future scholarly examination of Moriscos' legal action following their 1609-1614 expulsion. The thesis's appendix also contains Visconsi's original transcription of seven Morisco petitions dated between 1610 and 1612.
