| Sumario: | This article aims at discussing how different supposed Spanish personality traits were disseminated throughout Europe, specially by Portuguese publications during the Restoration War (1640-1668). Through news pamphlets printed in Lisbon and the periodical Mercurio Portuguez, we seek to demonstrate that the stereotypes of heretic, violent individuals and, above all, liars, were employed in those Portuguese publications to discredit the information published from the Castilian side. With a view to understanding how certain news were recognized as true – even if later debunked – it is possible to see how the authority of those disseminating it and its constant repetition contributed to the "truth effect" achieved in this information war. |
