  • Broken Boundaries: Developing Portrayals of Iberian Islam in Castilian Texts of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries
    Broken Boundaries: Developing Portrayals of Iberian Islam in Castilian Texts of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries BY Robert Iafolla A Study Presented to the Faculty of Wheaton College in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation with Departmental Honors in History Norton, Massachusetts May 13, 2013 1 Table of Contents Note on Translation 2 Introduction 3 1. Bounded Interaction: Christians and Muslims in Literature from 28 the Fifteenth Century Frontier 2. Continuity and Change: The Sixteenth Century and Frontiers in 70 Time 3. Moriscos in Revolt: New Portrayals on the Old Frontier 114 Conclusion 159 Bibliography 162 2 Note on Translation Unless otherwise indicated, all translations from sources are mine. In the footnotes, I have kept the spelling of most words as it was in the source, but in a few instances I have changed it for the sake of clarity if the meaning would not be immediately apparent. Within the text, names of people or places that have a common spelling in English have been rendered according to that spelling, so for example Castilla is written as Castile and Felipe as Philip. Also, I have kept the spelling of individual names as they appear in the sources, except where there is a clear preference for an alternative spelling in the majority of modern sources. For instance, Diego Hurtado de Mendoza's spelling Abén Humeya, for the first leader of the Morisco revolt, is changed to Abén Humaya. 3 Introduction The year 1492 looms large in the history of the Iberian Peninsula. In January the city of Granada, the last remaining outpost of Islamic political power in Iberia after eight centuries, surrendered to the armies of the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile.

  • Philip II Versus William Cecil: the Cleaving of Christendom
    Philip II Versus William Cecil: The Cleaving of Christendom by WARREN H. CARROLL History is always a field of controversy, especially between those who recognize Christ as history’s Lord and those who do not. The mission of the Church in history is, of course, to help all men draw closer to their Lord. Therefore, the high dramas of history always involve the success or failure of the Church’s apostolate, and the success or failure of those who seek to make that apostolate either easier or more difficult. Few historical conflicts have more to do with such concerns than that between Philip II of Spain and William Cecil of England. Nothing less than the fate of the Church’s mission in Northern Europe hung in the balance. In the following thorough study, Warren H. Carroll paints the antagonists in rich colors, reveals the points at issue, and describes the outcome in terms no less relevant in the twentieth century than they were in the sixteenth. The author also provides a valuable lesson in the trauma and devastation of Christian disunity. Hindsight is one of the greatest obstacles to a true understanding of history. There is a natural tendency to look upon the way things actually happened as the way they must have happened, as an inescapable consequence of the trends and forces at work. Even among those who would indignantly reject the designation of historical determinist, the effects of hindsight create a sort of constant bias in favor of the inevitability of the historical events we know to have taken place.
