Henriques family

Although led to believe they would be permitted to practice Judaism freely in Portugal, they were forcibly converted to Catholicism upon their arrival.

Henriques Dias Milao-Caceres (1528–1609) was a wealthy Catholic businessman from Lisbon who was arrested by the Spanish Inquisition during the Iberian Union on charges of not having paid taxes, having dealings with the Jews, and for having attempted to flee the country before trial.

Most of his family and entourage who had not managed to leave the country on time, had also been arrested and interrogated by the Inquisition.

At the age of 82, Henriques Dias Milao-Caceres was sentenced to death, along with his manservant, who was believed to have converted secretly to Judaism, and a female member of his family.

The Israel Henriques family included several prominent Sephardic Jewish benefactors[further explanation needed] of Portuguese descent during the 17th century in Great Britain.

Although the Sephardim spoke Ladino (i.e. Spanish or Judeo-Spanish), in India they learned Tamil and Judeo-Malayalam from the Malabar Jews.
