'''Moriscos''' were [[Spanish]] [[Moslems]] who were allowed to remain in Spain after the [[Spanish Inquisition]], under the pretense that they had converted to [[Christian]]ity. In fact they had not converted, and their descendants revolted against the Spanish King [[Philip II]]. He defeated them in 1567-70 and moved them to the interior of Spain, and [[Philip III]] expelled them in 1609. | '''Moriscos''' were [[Spanish]] [[Moslems]] who were allowed to remain in Spain after the [[Spanish Inquisition]], under the pretense that they had converted to [[Christian]]ity.
