Which group was persecuted first by the Inqusition?

The original Papal inquisition was set up to find heretics. The Spanish Inquisition was originally established to sniff out 'insincere converts' from Judaism, and later extended its scope to include 'insincere converts' from Islam. By about 1600 something like 20% of all those in trouble with the Spanish Inquisition were being 'investigated' for allegedly 'insulting the Inquisition', failing to respect the Inquisition and so on.


What types of people were persecuted during the spanish inquisition?

The people persecuted in the Spanish Inquisition were "New Christians", which is to say Jews and Muslims who converted to Christianity in order to continue living in Spain (since Judaism and Islam were banned), but who were believed to be secretly practicing their faith of birth. Hundreds of thousands of Jews and Muslims who converted to Christianity were persecuted. Later, the Spanish Inquisition also persecuted Protestant reformers.
