[59] The Grand Inquisitors during the reign of Philip were:—

1. Don Fernando Valdès, Archbishop of Seville, 1547–1566.

2. Espinosa, the King’s Secretary, Bishop of Siguença, and Cardinal, 1566–1573.

3. Quiroga, Archbishop of Toledo, 1573–1594.

[61] There were Moriscoes in other parts of Spain, especially in Murcia, Valencia and even in the Vega of Granada, who were not disturbed.

[62] A cruzada was a licence granted by papal dispensation, allowing the eating of eggs and milk on certain days. This licence was sold by the King, and to induce people to purchase it, every one was forced to buy these articles whether they ate them or no. An excusado was the tithe upon one holding in each parish in Spain, granted to the King.

[63] There were other possible claimants—Emanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy, and the sons of Alexander Farnese, who could claim through the female line, but did not do so. Even Catherine de’ Medici affected to base her title on descent from a distant King of Portugal, but did not at this time urge it. The question of the succession, and the close relationship between the royal families of Spain and Portugal will be best understood from the following table:—
