History

Juan Osórez, Master of the Order of Santiago, granted a chartae populationis to the place of Socuéllamos in the 1290s, in the context of the quarrel of the order with the {{Lang|es|concejo}} of Alcaraz.{{Sfn|Escudero Buendía|2002|p=69; 73}} In order to encourage settlement of the territory, privileges of exemption from taxes and tributes (except for the diezmo paid to Uclés) were granted to those who cultivated vineyards.{{Sfn|Escudero Buendía|2002|p=69}}

By the turn of modernity, Socuéllamos enjoyed a scarcely productive yet extensive encomienda, whereas it was populated by religious and superstitious Old Christians,{{Sfn|Gómez Vozmediano|1998|p=369}} with no presence of old Mudéjares.{{Sfn|Gómez Vozmediano|2010|p=80}} Population increased throughout the early 16th century thanks to its strategical crossroads location.{{Sfn|Gómez Vozmediano|1998|p=369}} In the wake of the 1569 Morisco Revolt, 49 families of unassimilated Granadan moriscos (140 members, nearly 20% of the local population) arrived to the village deported from Granada.{{Sfn|Gómez Vozmediano|1998|p=369}} Possibly a paragon of the climate of intolerance, the inquisitorial coercion reached unheard-of levels during the 1580s, jailing at least 40 Granadan locals.{{Sfn|Gómez Vozmediano|1998|p=370}} The ethnic strife within the two communities of Old Christians and {{Lang|es|moriscos}} became explosive again years later, and a full-blown pogrom on the {{Lang|es|morisco}} community was narrowly averted on 25 October 1609.{{Sfn|Gómez Vozmediano|2010|p=82}} The convictions of the offenders were eventually dismissed and soon after all the {{Lang|es|moriscos}} had left the village.{{Sfn|Gómez Vozmediano|2010|p=83}}
