| | The Spanish Inquisition (presented by the South Hill Brass) |
 | | The Spanish Inquisition was abolished by Joseph Bonaparte in 1808, restored in 1814, abolished again in 1820, restored in 1823, and most recently abolished in 1834. |
 | | The Spanish government attempted to establish the Inquisition throughout its domain, but in the Spanish Netherlands the local officials did not cooperate, and the Inquisitors were actually chased out of Milan in 1510 (apparently with the Pope's connivance). |
 | | The Spanish Inquisition was much harsher, more highly organized, and far freer with the death penalty than the medieval Inquisition, becoming notorious for the auto-da-fe (literally, "act of faith" -- a term used for both the trial and ceremonial execution of convicted heretics, usually by burning). |
