Perceptions and relationships of 14-15th century Spaniards / Romani / Moors
Upvote:1
Alberto Yagos helpfully observed in a comment that Romani entered today's Spain in 1425. A map from 1360 is as close as I could easily find, but the Emirate of Granada is far south of the Pyrenean route over which the immigrants reached "Spain". Is there evidence that any Romani people were present in the Emirate?
I searched unsuccessfully in the Biblioteca de al-Andalus for contemporary mentions of Romani people, and likewise in "A Select Bibliography of Muslim Spain" for modern ones. Several papers on the interethnic relations of the time also fail to mention Romani people.
The site of the Museo Cuevas del Sacromonte reports (without citation) that in medieval Spain, Romani and Jews had a special link based on their shared marginalization. Their situations changed with the Reconquest and Inquisition when all groups but the Christians became undesirables. Tomás Calvo Buezas in "España racista?: voces payas sobre los gitanos" dates Spanish social conflicts with Romani back to a notorious "anti-gypsy" rule of 1499, as did Ibtissem Cheriguii's thesis on Romani cultural influence in Andalucia. Apparently, any Romani-Moorish conflict was far outshadowed by later Romani-Christian conflict.
According to the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia, Jews did fine in the last centuries of the Emirate of Granada, and the state even served as a refuge for Jews fleeing from the pogrom of 1391.
