Which groups did Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain target and persecute during the Spanish Inquisition?
Strictly speaking, the Spanish Inquisition was designed to persecute Christian heretics, people who were believed to be following Christianity improperly. However, most of the people accused of heresy were former Jews and Muslims who converted to Christian under threat of death. As a result, it is generally oversimplified to say that the Spanish Inquisition targeted JEWS AND MUSLIMS.

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.)

Who had more control over the spanish inquisition the pope or the king?
The Spanish Inquisition was primarily under the control of the Spanish monarchy, specifically King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile, who established it in 1478. While the Pope had some influence, particularly in granting the initial authority to the Inquisition, the Spanish monarchs maintained significant autonomy and used the institution to consolidate power, enforce religious uniformity, and strengthen their rule. Thus, the kings had more practical control over the Inquisition than the Pope.
