Relaxado en persona

Last updated

Relaxado en persona (modern spelling: relajado en persona) was a Spanish legal phrase, literally meaning "relaxed in person", meaning "transferred to the secular authorities", [1] an euphemism for "burnt at the stake" in the records of the Spanish Inquisition, since the church tribunal could not execute death sentences. The majority of those "relaxed in person" from 1484 onwards were relapsos (relapsed Jews) or herejes (heretics, but also often Jews).[ citation needed ] Use of the term in source material continues until 1659 or later.[ citation needed ]

Examples:

The noun form is relajación en persona (literally "relaxation in person"), but the noun form is primarily used by historians rather than contemporaries. [5] Historians may also use the term anachronistically, for example as in the case of the last burning in Peru, that of Mariana de Castro, Lima, 1732. [6]
