San Simón de Rojas y la expulsión de los moriscos (1609)
Resumen
La expulsión de los moriscos, aprobada en abril de 1609, constituyó la decisión más importante de la política interior del reinado de Felipe III. Numerosos autores escribieron sobre el tema y la mayoría apoyaron la medida al considerarla santa, justa e irremediable, como San Simón de Rojas, trinitario, maestro de los infantes y confesor de la reina Isabel del Borbón, quién envió un memorial a los reyes donde recogía los inconvenientes y desventajas del decreto, mostrándose favorable a su salida de España.
