nov 1, 1478 - Beginning of Spanish Inquisition
Description:
The Inquisition was established by Ferdinand and Isabella after they suspected that Jews who converted to Christianity (conversos) were responsible for the corruption of the Catholic church. Conversos were tried for heresy and were forced to flee Spain or be killed. The Inquisition was later extended to Muslims as well.
