Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros

Japanese: シスネロス - しすねろす（英語表記）Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros

1436‐1517
A Spanish Franciscan priest who left a significant mark on Spanish politics, culture, and religion during the time of the Catholic Monarchs. After studying at the University of Salamanca, Cisneros joined the Franciscan order, and in 1492, despite being a commoner, he was called to the royal court as confessor to Queen Isabella, and three years later he was appointed Archbishop of Toledo. Around this time, with the support of the two kings, he began reforming the church, including the various religious orders, and pushed ahead with this despite much resistance. However, he also took a hard-line stance against the Kingdom of Granada, which had just been conquered, forcing Muslims to convert and advising the two kings to expel them in 1502.

スペインのフランシスコ会士。カトリック両王時代のスペインの政治･文化･宗教に大きな足跡を残した。サラマンカ大学で学んだ後フランシスコ会に入ったシスネロスは，その人徳を買われて平民の出身ながら1492年にイサベル女王付聴罪司祭として宮廷に呼ばれ，3年後にはトレド大司教の任に就いた。このころ，両王の支援を受けて各修道会をはじめとする教会改革に着手，多くの抵抗を排してこれを推進する一方，征服直後のグラナダ王国についてはイスラム教徒に改宗を強いたり，1502年の追放令を両王に進言するなど強硬姿勢を貫いた。
