Detailed explanation-1: -The term inquisition comes from the Latin word for enquiry. The Inquisition was the investigative and judicial arm of the Catholic Church. As such, it acted against ideas and beliefs that the Church leaders considered contrary to the tenets of the Christian faith.
Detailed explanation-2: -Medieval inquisition trials were held secretly, to ascertain if an accused person was a heretic or not. Once a person was accused, they were detained for at least a few months, regardless of whether they were a heretic or innocent. Although it seems like chaotic cruelty, the system had order and rules.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition (Spanish: Tribunal del Santo Oficio de la Inquisición), commonly known as the Spanish Inquisition (Spanish: Inquisición española), was established in 1478 by the Catholic Monarchs, King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile.
