The Spanish Inquisition: Faith, Torture, and the Fight for Power

The Spanish Inquisition remains one of history’s most misunderstood and feared institutions. Established in 1478 by the Catholic Monarchs, it was designed to consolidate state power and enforce religious orthodoxy. In this video, we dive deep into the origins of the tribunal, the targeting of converts, Protestants, and political dissidents, and the reality behind secretive trials and the infamous auto-da-fé.
Discover the staggering numbers—over 150,000 prosecuted—and how this era of history impacted Spain’s economic and scientific legacy until its abolition in 1834. We separate the "Black Legend" myths from the historical facts of the Inquisition’s methods, including the documented use of torture and property confiscation.
