Group description
Old Christian (cristiano viejo in Spanish, cristão velho in Portuguese) was a social and law-effective category used in the Iberian Peninsula from the late 15th and early 16th century onwards, to distinguish Portuguese and Spanish attested as having cleanliness of blood from the populations categorized as New Christian, mainly persons of partial or full Jewish or Moorish descent who converted to Christianity, and their baptized descendants. The term was introduced in order for "Old Christians" to distinguish themselves from the converts (conversos), who were also insulted as marranos, "pigs", in a derogatory manner.
