"Even though Henrique's role in the 1628 raid on Spanish ships was disclosed during the Spanish Inquisition, he was never caught."

This is a ridiculous sentence-- Jews were expelled from Spain after 1492. Henriques would have been wanted by the Spanish Navy for his piracy- not by the Inquisition (whose job it was to convert heretics, not to hunt pirates) Tangytoad (talk) 01:36, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. And even more so because he was not of Spanish Jewish origin, but of Portuguese - his family fled Portugal to the Netherlands. The Ogre (talk) 13:56, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
