Herejes consentidos: la justificación de una fiscalidad diferencial en el Reino de Granada

Abstract

The aim of this article is to study the legal, theological and practical reasons for the Servicios Moriscos in the Kingdom of Granada after the Christian Conquest (1485-1492), and the forced conversion of the Muslim population (1500-1501). These special taxes were paid only by the Christian inhabitants of Muslim origin (Moriscos). The article draws attention to the close relationship between the Servicios Moriscos and the Servicios de Cortes in the Kingdom of Castile and focuses on the period 1503-1517, when the Servicios de Cortes in Granada become the Servicios Moriscos. These taxes were, in theory, offered to the Crown by the Morisco oligarchy in return for the tolerance of Muslim customs and practices.
