Cervantes was called before the Inquisition primarily due to suspicions regarding his religious beliefs, particularly his connections to potentially heretical ideas. His literary works often criticized societal norms and authority, which may have drawn the attention of the Inquisition. Additionally, his financial troubles and history of imprisonment could have made him a target for scrutiny. Ultimately, the Inquisition sought to uphold religious orthodoxy, and Cervantes's life and work posed questions that challenged these ideals.
The original Papal inquisition was set up to find heretics. The Spanish Inquisition was originally established to sniff out 'insincere converts' from Judaism, and later extended its scope to include 'insincere converts' from Islam. By about 1600 something like 20% of all those in trouble with the Spanish Inquisition were being 'investigated' for allegedly 'insulting the Inquisition', failing to respect the Inquisition and so on.

Entertainment was Inquisition. They would get out of there, convert to christianity, or be put to death. Villagers would watch someone being murdered at the marketplace as entertainment.
The Spanish Inquisition primarily aimed to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in Spain, resulting in the persecution and expulsion of Jews, Muslims, and other non-conformists. It led to widespread fear and repression, with thousands being tortured or executed. Ultimately, it contributed to the consolidation of power for the monarchy and the Catholic Church, but it also weakened Spain’s economy and cultural diversity by driving away educated and skilled individuals. The Inquisition officially ended in the 19th century, leaving a complex legacy of intolerance and persecution.

No. In fact, in the days of the Spanish Inquisition, being circumcises could be very dangerous for Catholics because circumcision is a Jewish and Islamic tradition and the Spanish Inquisition was created to ferret out those who secretly retained Jewish or Islamic traditions after being forced to convert to Catholicism.
Inquisitive means being curious about something.

The Roman inquisition was not about those who broke the law. It was a type of trial by the Catholic Church against religious dissidents or misfits who were accused of heresy during the Middle Ages. The penalty was being burn on the stake.

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.
