Editing Morisco (section)

===Aragon and Catalonia===
Moriscos accounted for 20% of the population of the [[kingdom of Aragon]], residing principally on the banks of the [[Ebro]] river and its tributaries. Unlike Granadan and Valencian Moriscos, they did not speak Arabic but, as vassals of the nobility, were granted the privilege to practice their faith relatively openly.

Places like [[Muel, Zaragoza]], were inhabited fully by Moriscos, the only [[Old Christians]] were the priest, the notary and the owner of the tavern-inn. "The rest would rather go on a pilgrimage to [[Mecca]] than [[Santiago de Compostela]]."<ref name="Morisco">{{harvnb|Lapeyre|2011|p=106}} quoting [[Enrique Cock]], ''Relación del viaje hecho por Felipe III en 1585 a Zaragoza, Barcelona y Valencia'', Madrid, 1876, p. 314</ref>

In [[Principality of Catalonia|Catalonia]], Moriscos represented less than 2% of the population<ref>{{harvnb|Lapeyre|2011|p=108}}</ref> and were concentrated in the Low Ebro region, as well as in the city of [[Lérida|Lleida]] and the towns of [[Aitona]] and [[Seròs]], in the Low Segre region.<ref>{{harvnb|Lapeyre|2011|p=107}}</ref> They largely no longer spoke Arabic, but [[Catalan language|Catalan]],{{sfn|Harvey|2005|p=80}} and to a lesser extent also [[Spanish language|Castilian]]-[[Aragonese language|Aragonese]] in [[Lérida|Lleida]].<ref>Pablo Roza Candás, "Rasgos aragoneses orientales en un manuscrito aljamiado-morisco."
