The Spanish Inquisition was the Inquisition acting in Spain under the control of the Kings of Spain.
This Inquisition was the result of the reconquest of Spain from the Muslims and the policy of converting Spanish Jews and Muslims to Christianity.
Some historians and Spanish scholars point to research that suggests that death tolls are exaggerated as evidence of the Black legend, which over-emphasizes the destruction caused by Spain relative to other nations.

 Coat-of-Arms (Spain)
My understanding is that the Spanish coat-of-arms has always been blazoned with a purple lion for León, that is a "lion rampant purpure" (and usually also "crowned and armed or, langued gules").
Since the Spanish Republicans adopted a red-yellow-purple tricolour, the purple colour tended to be seen as a republican or, more generally speaking, left-wing colour.
The arms of Bourbon were added in 1700 after Charles II (the last Habsburg Spanish king) died, and Felipe V from the house of Bourbon became king of Spain.

The escutcheon in the Spanish coat-of-arms represents the currently reigning dynasty — today that of Bourbon-Anjou, but in 1870-1873 that of Savoy, so the escutcheon was then Gules a cross Argent.
As happens with several other national flags, the Spanish flag depicted at the Quid website has several mistakes: the lion's crown (should be or/gold), and the dexter/left crown (should be imperial).
Showing a (bright) red instead of a purple lion in the Spanish coat-of-arms is a usual mistake even in Spain, see for instance the naval jack.

 Heraldry in Spain
In 1520, the quarter of Aragon and Aragon-Sicily was replaced with a tierced per pale Aragon, Jerusalem and Hungary (see a color version, not without inaccuracies, on the seal of the University of Granada).
In practice the Anjou escutcheon (actually called Borbón in Spanish) was displayed without the bordure, because the bordure was considered inessential, and the escutcheon an indication of lineage from the French Bourbon dynasty.
A striking example is given by the royal arms as they appear on the reverse of a 5 pesetas coin of Alfonso XII (1885).

That was the case with the Spanish royal arms —later also used as state arms— up to 1931.
When the arms for the then Prince of Spain, nowadays King, Juan Carlos was approved in 1971, some ignorant of heraldry draughted a French —also known as Iberian— escutcheon but copied the (oval) design of the inescutcheon from the former arms, thus placing an oval inescutcheon within a non-oval escutcheon.
