RESUMEN: A vísperas del verano de 1580, Sevilla es la ciudad de Castilla que reúne en su seno el mayor número de moriscos, procedentes, la mayor parte de ellos, de Granada. Más de 6000 cristianos nuevos de moros preocupan entonces sobremanera los ediles. En vísperas de la guerra de Portugal y en medio de un periodo de hambre en Andalucía, las tensiones alcanzan su máximo grado y favorecen los rumores que atribuyen las peores intenciones a los “granadinos”. En este contexto de extrema tensión fue cuando las autoridades sevillanas creyeron descubrir, a mediados de junio de 1580, una tentativa de rebelión de los moriscos conocida como “el levantamiento de los moriscos de Andalucía”, una conspiración supuestamente urdida desde Sevilla, con ramificaciones en las principales ciudades andaluzas donde se hallaban importantes comunidades moriscas. Nuevas fuentes, sacadas del proceso de los cabecillas de la presunta rebelión, recientemente descubiertas, permiten valorar de forma más precisa el alcance e impacto de esta supuesta rebelión, que fue una tentativa desesperada de un sector de la sociedad morisca por librarse del arsenal represivo y escapar a las medidas vejatorias.
ABSTRACT: In 1580, Seville was the city with the largest population of Moriscos in Castile. There were more than 6000 cristianos nuevos de moro, most of whom had come from Granada. Before the war with Portugal and during a period of famine in Andalusia, tensions were running high and favoured rumours of a possible rising of the Moriscos. In June 1580, at the height of the tension, the authorities in Seville believed that the Moriscos were organising a rebellion, later to be known as the “Rising of the Moriscos in Andalusía”. This conspiracy was allegedly organised from Seville, with ramifications in the main Andalusian cities where there were important communities of Moriscos. Recent research into the prosecution of the leaders of the revolt permits us to evaluate more precisely the impact and consequences of this alleged rebellion, which would have been a desperate attempt on the part of the Moriscos to free themselves from the repressive and humiliating measures to which they were submitted.
