The Black Legend, or the Spanish Black Legend, is an alleged historiographical tendency consisting of anti-Spanish and anti-Catholic propaganda. Its proponents consider it to have its roots in the 16th century, originally as a political and psychological weapon by Spain's northern European rivals in the attempt of demonizing the Spanish Empire, its people and culture, minimizing Spanish discoveries and achievements, and countering its influence and power in world affairs.
