"The Spanish Inquisition was established in 1478 by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in their kingdoms and was under the direct control of the Spanish monarchy. It was not definitively abolished until 1834, during the reign of Isabel II. The Inquisition, as an ecclesiastical tribunal, had jurisdiction only over baptized Christians. However, since Jews (in 1492) and Muslim Moors (in 1502) had been banished from Spain, jurisdiction of the Inquisition during a large part of its history extended in practice to all royal subjects. The Inquisition worked in large part to ensure the orthodoxy of recent converts known as conversos or marranos." Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Inquisition

Phillipe of spain in the 15th century created it and it lasted 40 years, Phillipe died after bankcrupting spain with the Armada defeat, so when he died, his daughter, Isobella was only 16, the inquisitions power was already on the wane.all catholics were 'blessed by god' all others were heretics, sounds familiar today doesn't it if you look at the moslem/ christian extremes
