Tomas de Torquemada
If evil can be understood as behavior based on an emotional foundation, it is an inescapable conclusion that Torquemada was an evil man. He was full of hatred and devoid of compassion, which is the essence of evil.
Antonio de Torquemada has written: 'Historia del invencible cavallero don Olivante de Laura' 'The Spanish Mandevile of myracles' 'Giardino di fiori curiosi'
The most famous leader of the Inquisition was Tomás de Torquemada, who served as the Grand Inquisitor in Spain from 1483 to 1498. Known for his zealous enforcement of Catholic orthodoxy, he played a key role in the Spanish Inquisition, which aimed to identify and punish heresy, particularly among converted Jews and Muslims. Torquemada's methods and policies contributed to the widespread fear and persecution during this period. His legacy remains controversial due to the severity of his tactics and the impact on Spanish society.
No, Tomás de Torquemada, (1420 - September 16, 1498) was a fifteenth-century Spanish Dominican friar and the first Grand Inquisitor in Spain's movement to restore Christianity among its populace in the late fifteenth century. As well as being the Grand Inquisitor, Torquemada was also theconfessor to Isabella I of Castile. He is notorious for his zealous campaign against the crypto-Jews and crypto-Muslims of Spain. He was one of the chief supporters of the Alhambra Decree, which expelled the Jews from Spain in 1492. About 2,000 people were burned at the stake by the Spanish Inquisition between 1480 and 1530. In modern times, his name has become synonymous with the Christian Inquisition's horror, religious bigotry, and cruel fanaticism. It is notable that Tomás de Torquemada was the nephew of the celebrated theologian Juan de Torquemada who was the son of a converso (a Jew who converted to Christianity). Tomás de Torquemada may have some Jewish ancestry, but it would have been his grandparents at most and did not figure into his personal life.
