Abstract
Compostela es conocida como el final
del Camino de Santiago, pero era también,
en la Edad Moderna, la capital de provincia
civil y eclesiástica, sede del tribunal de
la Inquisición de Galicia y de una Universidad.
Su existencia tranquila era alterada
por la presencia de forasteros, peregrinos y
viajeros. Bajo apariencia de peregrinos llegaban
disidentes religiosos en sus países de
origen, “herejes” de diferentes confesiones
religiosas que buscaban convertirse al catolicismo,
y también numerosos refugiados
católicos irlandeses, que huían de un poder
protestante. Este artículo estudia su acogida
por las instituciones eclesiásticas y la
vigilancia por parte de la Inquisición
Compostela is know as the final stop on the Way of Santiago. During the early modern era, it was the capital of the civil and ecclesiastical province, but also both the see of the Inquisition of Galicia and the University. Its peaceful life was shattered by the foreigners, pilgrims and travelers. A few of religious dissidents were coming as down the appearance of pilgrims. They were “heretics” of different confessions who were looking for the conversion to Catholicism. And many Irish catholic refugees who run away from a protestant power. This article focuses on the strategies of acceptance wielded by the ecclesiastical institutions and the vigilance of the Inquisition
