Removal[edit]

I removed the folling from the lead section:

In a time of enmity betwixt Catholics and Protestants, Catholic Portugal and Protestant England were allies, and both were enemies of Spain, so the bloody Portuguese Inquisition is less notorious than that of Spain because the English wrote history at that time.

Anyone care to provide references for it being "less notorious" (because "the English wrote history" or otherwise)? -- ALoan (Talk) 18:11, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the following paragraph for lack of reliable reference:

In Portugal, the inquisitors excommunicated King João IV in 1656, after his death. The king's corpse was pulled from his coffin as it lay in the cathedral, undressed, and cast on the ground. After excommunicating the cadaver, the inquisitiors pronounced absolution, had the corpse replaced in the coffin, and left.

Propose for Removal[edit]

Why is Lamego in the Table of Sentences, if there are 0 sentences across all time periods ? It should be removed. I'm having some issues with the login, so I'll leave it for someone else. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.140.133.56 (talk) 15:46, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Any source for this quote?[edit]

Is there any backing for a statement such as the below (it doesn't strike me as accurate, as the Inquisition was against converts not other religious groups):

The Goa Inquisition, another campaign rife with antisemitism and anti-Hinduism predictably targeted Jews and Hindus. It was established in Goa in 1560 by Aleixo Dias Falcão and Francisco Marques, who occupied the palace of the Sabaio Adil Khan. --fredericknoronha (talk) 21:55, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

History - Nitpick "auto de fé"; surely "auto da fé"[edit]

History third paragraph, ? "auto de fé"; surely "auto da fé"

May I leave that with someone better versed on 16thC Portuguese?

Done. And also some other tweaks (basically links). The Ogre (talk) 09:22, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Please don't do it again. Leave it to someone better versed in Portuguese. Modern Portuguese basic language skills will do, no need for a "16thC Portuguese" expert. This a very common mistake on Wikipedia of users (english speaking one's) confused about the basic rules of contractio of articles ("o" "a" "um" "uma") and prepositions ("de" ,"por" etc.)
