As to the Spanish episode, the Turks in 1480 attacked the south Italian city of Otranto. 12, 000 people were killed, the rest made slaves. The Turks killed every cleric in the city and sawed the archbishop in two. So Queen Isabel sent a fleet to Italy. In September of 1480, when it was clear the Turks might do the same to any coastal city, Isabel established the Inquisition. It dealt with the special problem of those who pretended to become Christian, but were not really converted, and might open the gates of the city to the Turks. The Jews and Moslems fought side by side in battle at this time. Muslims and Jews did not fall under the jurisdiction of the Inquisition because they were not baptized. On the other hand: All properly baptized persons, being Christians and members of the Catholic Church, came under the jurisdiction of the Inquisition.
