The two most famous investigations by the Roman inquisition were Copernicus theory that the sun did not move and that earth rotated around the sun and Galileo Galiei's work which supported Copernicus' theory. Copernicus' first proposition was judged as being formally heretical and the second as at least erroneous in faith. His book was put on the index of forbidden books. Galileo's work was judged as being vehemently suspect of heresy. His book was banned.

Why did the Medieval Inquisition happen?
Originally, the the Inquisition was established in order to suppress heresy. (The Catholic Church in the the Middle Ages and later was generally not very tolerant of diversity on matters of doctrine). Later, in 1478 Spain was allowed to set up its own 'national' Inquisition. Initially, its main function was to detect insincere converts from Judaism and Islam. (Spain offered its Jewish and Islamic population the choice between explusion and conversion to Christianity: hence the problem).

Who restricted science in the Middle Ages?
The restriction on science in the Middle Ages came from the universities and professors, who wanted to teach strict conformance to Aristotelian science. In essence, this meant Aristotle was infallible. From the point of view real science, this was a problem because it meant progress was impossible. The Church was not happy with this for a number of reasons. While its position on Islamic science had been neutral because Islamic science had no theological implications and was useful, the idea that Aristotle was infallible did not sit well on theologians. The Church took action to free science from the restrictions imposed by the universities with the Condemnations of 1210 to 1277, which made the teaching that Aristotle was infallible a heresy. There have been historians who called the Condemnations of 1277 the birth of modern science. See links provided below.

They would deal with offences by clergy and matters of eclessiastical law such as heresy. The Royal Courts, or "Curia Regis", dealt with both civil and criminal matters. There were limits of jurisdiction such as the 30 shilling limit for civil matters and the rule that unfree persons could not use the royal courts. The term "Royal Courts" covers the court of King's Bench, Common Pleas, and others including courts taking place in the counties outside London - civil trials in Nisi Prius, Gaol Deliveries (trials of felonies), early on the General Eyre (civil matters) and later on commissions of Oyer and Terminer (in relation to felonies to do with land wars and disorder in the counties). The local courts would have included manorial courts dealing with issues between tenants and unfree persons in the manor, the courts of towns and cities, and local minor criminal courts and specialised courts dealing with local issues.
