The Inquisition established by Isabella and Ferdinand in Spain was particularly aimed at whom?

The Spanish Inquisition was primarily an action of the Crown in Spain. It did, however, employ clerical judges, mostly religious from the Dominican Order, I believe, who judged cases according to the law of the Church. Since the religious judges were much more lenient than the civil judges, many people attempted to get their cases tried by the Inquisition instead of the civil authority.

∙ 7y agoThe Inquisition was designed to discover Jews or Muslims whose conversion to Christianity was insincere. It was assumed, correctly, that many Jews and Muslims had converted to Christianity to avoid having to leave the country when Ferdinand and Isabella made those religions illegal.

What did Queen Isabella have to do with the Spanish Inquistion?
Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain issued the edicts requiring all Jews and Moslems in Spain to convert, flee, or die. When too many non-Catholics converted, these rulers, among others, were worried that they might not be real Catholics and were secretly practicing their original religions. Therefore King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella created the Holy Inquisition as a tribunal to judge whether faith infractions had occurred. They gave control of the Inquisition to Torquemada and allowed him any means necessary to exact a confession. Most victims of the Inquisition were knowingly tortured in heinous ways with the permission of the Spanish Monarchy. (The Inquisition was only disbanded in the 1830s.)
