Este artigo analisa a documentação fiscal produzida pelo Santo Ofício do México no âmbito do confisco de bens de algumas cristãs-novas portuguesas, processadas por crimes de judaísmo, em finais do século XVI. Através do estudo dos bens que são declarados nas listas de inventário, procuraremos entrar no quotidiano destas migrantes oriundas da península Ibérica que tinham acompanhado as suas famílias na longa viagem até à Nova Espanha. O momento de entrada da Inquisição nas suas vidas provocou-lhes um agravamento no seu quotidiano que, pelo que podemos verificar da escassez dos bens declarados, era já, na maioria dos casos, bastante precário. Claramente, a adaptação e integração nas sociedades de acolhimento nem sempre era uma tarefa fácil.

The article deals with a New Christian family from Lamego, the
Fonsecas, prominent in that city and in international commerce.
The family is situated in the context of the important mercantile
families based around the Douro river in the north of Portugal. It
takes into account various strategies used by them for their own defense when the tribunal of the Inquisition was first established in
Portugal in 1531. Ultimately they went to Rome in order to plead
their case and also pursue economic interests, settling there and
becoming ensconced in the social and cultural fabric of Portuguese
community in the Eternal City.

The article presents a particular case of Portuguese New Christian resistance to the establishment of the tribunal of the Holy Office in Portugal. Basing itself on Portuguese and Vatican documents the article depicts the New Christian community in Lamego which organized itself to present their case in Rome using a variety of strategies against the civil and ecclesiastical authorities in the kingdom. It presents the concrete example of several prominent figures who were instrumental in constructing a network to challenge the creation of the tribunal in Portugal.

In 1506, a great tragedy unfolded in Lisbon, Portugal’s capital. Hundreds of Jews were persecuted, tutored and finally killed. The Lisbon Massacre apparently started because of trivial reasons, but soon an angry crowd killed almost everyone on his path accused of being a Jew.
