Pirates, merchants, smugglers, and spies. North Devonians and the Spanish InquisitionTeresa obtained her PhD in History from the University of Exeter, UK in 2019. She is the author of numerous articles exploring 15th and 16th Spanish history published both in English and Spanish. Recently she has been exploring the links between Spain and North Devon during the Tudor period, focussing on the lives of seamen and traders caught up in the religious differences between the two countries as revealed in the records of the Spanish Inquisition. The ‘interviews’ conducted by Spanish Inquisitors provide a fascinating glimpse into the lives of ordinary North Devonians who went to sea in what Charles Kingsley called an ‘age of heroism’.
