====Inquisition in the Portuguese overseas empire====

===== Goa Inquisition =====
{{see also |Goa Inquisition}}

The [[Goa Inquisition]] began in 1560 at the order of [[John III of Portugal]]. It had originally been requested in a letter in the 1540s by [[Society of Jesus|Jesuit]] priest [[Francis Xavier]], because of the [[New Christian]]s who had arrived in Goa and then reverted to [[Judaism]]. The Goa Inquisition also focused upon Catholic converts from [[Hinduism]] or [[Islam]] who were thought to have returned to their original ways. In addition, this inquisition prosecuted non-converts who broke prohibitions against the public observance of [[Hindu]] or [[Muslim]] rites or interfered with Portuguese attempts to convert non-Christians to Catholicism.<ref name="Salomon, H.
