The Spanish Inquisition, formally, the Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition, was a tribunal established in 1478 by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. It was intended to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in their kingdoms, and to replace the medieval inquisition which was under papal control. The Inquisition worked in large part to ensure the orthodoxy of recent converts, especially Jews, Muslims and others. Various motives have been proposed for the monarchs' decision to found the Inquisition, such as increasing political authority, weakening opposition, suppressing conversos, and profiting from confiscation of the property of convicted heretics. The new body was under the direct control of the Spanish monarchy. It was not definitively abolished until 1833, during the reign of Isabella II.

Why does no one expect a Spanish Inquisition?

The concept of the Spanish Inquisition being unexpected did not arise from historical accounts of the Inquisition itself, but through the satirical and absurdist humour of Monty Python's Flying Circus (a famous British group of comedians and their television program of the same name).The Spanish Inquisition itself was a court and associated enforcers charged with asserting the orthodoxy of the Catholic Church in Spain, separate from papal control. In 1478, the then Spanish monarchs established the tribunal to replace the Medieval Inquisition, which was directed from Rome.The Spanish Inquisition was in no real way unexpected, as the multi-religion state of Spain had long since experienced tensions between the ruling Christian faith and the Muslims and Jews who remained in Spain even after the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula. It was only a matter of time before the state itself took action to expel the Jews and repress conversos, Moriscos and protestants.The famous sketches by Monty Python's Flying Circus often depicted an 'everyday' situation, in which one character may be receiving a large number of questions and say with ironic hyperbole "I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition" (meaning 'I did not expect to be interrogated in this manner'), at which point Michael Palin and several other actors would jump into the scene dressed as officers of the Spanish Inquisition and exclaim in reply "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!". This is the origin of the phrase.
