To his request that Marie might be restrained from all intercourse with the younger members of Isabella's female court in fact, associate with none but strict and uncompromising Catholics the Queen readily acceded; and moreover, granted him full permission to examine the mansion of Don Ferdinand Morales, that any books or articles of dangerous or heretical import might be discovered and destroyed.
This pleased Philip, and he added one hundred ducats to the pension. The street in Badajoz on which Morales lived bears his name. Nearly all his pictures were of religious subjects, and on this account he was called "the divine." He avoided ghastly, painful pictures, and was one of the most spiritual of the artists of Spain.
