- Title
Prosecuting the French: patterns of trials against French defendants in Valencia, 1566–1686.
- Authors
KNUTSEN, GUNNAR W.; NAVARRO, DANIEL MUÑOZ
- Abstract
A serial study of court records from two different jurisdictions in early modern Valencia shows that during the years 1566–1686 there was one single period with significantly higher numbers of trials against French defendants. This coincided with the period of the Spanish monarchy's greatest worries about outside influence in Spain. However, the increased number of trials is only traceable in one of the two courts under study, that of the Inquisition, which was under the control of the central government. The locally controlled court of criminal justice (Justicia) did not show any such increased activity against Frenchmen.
