The History of the Inquisition of Spain from the Time of its Establishment to the Reign of Ferdinand VII.
Llorente, Juan Antonio
Inquisition -- Spain
Donna Anna Henriquez de Roxas, daughter of the Marquis d'Alcanizes, and
the wife of Don Juan Alphonso de Fonseca Mexia, was condemned as a
Lutheran. She appeared in the _auto-da-fé_ with the _San-benito_, and
was afterwards shut up in a monastery. She was twenty-four years of age,
was perfectly acquainted with the Latin tongue, and had read the works
of Calvin, and those of Constantine Ponce de la Fuente.
Donna Maria de Roxas, a nun of the convent of St. Catherine of
Valladolid, and daughter to the first Marquis de Poza. She was condemned
as a Lutheran, conducted to the _auto-da-fé_ with the _San-benito_, and
secluded for life in her convent. The Inquisition commanded that she
should be treated as the lowest in the community in the choir and
refectory, and deprived of the power of voting.
Don Juan de Ulloa Pereira, a knight commander of the order of St. John
of Jerusalem. He was son and brother to the Lords de la Mota, who were
soon after made Marquisses, and an inhabitant of Toro. He was condemned,
for Lutheranism, to wear the _San-benito_, to be imprisoned for life,
and to be deprived of his property. He was declared infamous, incapable
of obtaining dignities, stript of the habit and cross of his order, and
banished from Madrid, Valladolid, and Toro, but was prohibited from
quitting the kingdom. In 1565, Ulloa represented his situation to the
Pope, reminding him of his services in fighting against the Turks,
particularly when he took five ships of the pirate Caramani Arraez; he
added that the inquisitor-general had remitted the continuation of his
penance for more than a year, but that he wished to regain his rank as a
knight, as he was still capable of serving. The Pope granted a brief in
favour of Ulloa, rehabilitating him in his privileges as a knight, with
a particular clause, stating that what had passed could not prevent him
from attaining the superior dignities of his order, provided the
inquisitor-general and the grand master of Malta approved the decree.
Ulloa was then reinstated in his commandery.
Juan de Vibero Cazalla, a brother of Augustin, and Donna Juana Silva de
Ribera, his wife, were condemned, as Lutherans, to be deprived of their
liberty and their property, and to wear the _San-benito_.
Donna Constance de Vibero Cazalla, sister of Augustin, and widow of
Hernand Ortiz, was condemned to wear the _San-benito_, to perpetual
imprisonment, and the confiscation of her property. When Augustin saw
his sister pass, he turned to the princess governess, and said to her:
_Princess, I entreat your highness to have compassion on that
unfortunate woman, who will leave thirteen orphans_.
Eleonora de Cisneros, aged twenty-four, the wife of Antonio Herrezuelo,
and Donna Francisca Zuñiga de Baeza, were condemned to the
_San-benito_, imprisonment, and confiscation.
