Black Legend - Kuroidensetsu (English) Black Legend

Japanese: 黒い伝説 - くろいでんせつ(英語表記)Black Legend
Black Legend - Kuroidensetsu (English) Black Legend
It originally arose from the resentment felt by Italians against the Aragonese royal family, who had conquered Sicily and Sardinia, and gradually expanded to cover the whole of Spain. In the 16th and 17th centuries, European countries hostile to Spain, for political, economic, or religious reasons, exaggerated and fabricated the cruelty of the Spanish, claiming that "throughout their long history, the Spaniards have been a cruel, intolerant, greedy, and hypocritical nation." In particular, countries hostile to the hegemony of Spain under the Habsburg dynasty used the religious intolerance and cruel torture seen in the Inquisition, and the cruel acts of the conquistadors in the conquest of the Indies, to launch anti-Spanish movements and create the "black legend."

Japanese:
もともとはイタリア人がシチリア,サルデーニャを征服したアラゴン王家に対して抱いた反感に発し,しだいにその対象がスペイン全体に拡大された。16,17世紀スペインに敵対するヨーロッパの各国が政治的・経済的もしくは宗教的な意図のもとに,〈長い歴史を通じてスペイン人は残虐かつ不寛容で,しかも貪欲かつ偽善的な国民である〉とスペイン人の残虐さを誇張し捏造(ねつぞう)したもの。とくにハプスブルク朝下のスペインの覇権に敵意をもつ国々は,異端審問にみられる宗教的不寛容と残虐な拷問,およびインディアスの征服におけるコンキスタドールの非道な行為を口実に反スペイン運動を展開し,〈黒い伝説〉を作り上げた。
