The Spanish Inquisition, founded in 1478. Initially, its sole function was to sniff out 'insincere converts' from Judaism. Later this was extended to Muslims and later to anyone who defied the authority of the Church. In Spain, Jews and Muslims had been put under enormous pressure since about 1350 to convert to Christianity.
