  • This article studies the trial of Francisco Mariano, suspected of participation in a conspiracy linking Algeria, Istanbul and the Moriscos in Spain at the beginning of the Alpujarras revolt (1568–1571) and just before the battle of Lepanto. In doing so, it engages with how historians have used the notion of the “go-between,” and proposes a broader definition of the term. Extending the term to a wider range of social actors reveals the fluid mobility of the Early Modern Mediterranean spaces, in contrast to an interpretation of a world constrained by cultural and international borders.
