Ferdinand and Isabella supported the Inquisition primarily to unify their kingdom under a single Catholic faith and to strengthen their political power. They aimed to eliminate heresy and ensure loyalty among their subjects, particularly targeting converted Jews and Muslims suspected of secretly practicing their former religions. Additionally, the Inquisition served as a tool for consolidating royal authority by increasing the church's control over religious matters and reducing the influence of rival factions within Spain.
