INQUISITION.They said a man was guilty. He had to prove he was not. Or die.

“A prisoner in the inquisition is never allowed to see the face of his accuser or of the witnesses against him. But they are threatened and tortured until he accuses himself. By that means they corroborate their evidence. ” — John Foxe, Book Of Martyrs —

This is a saga of nearly five hundred years of bigotry, fear, persecution, torture and death. In more enlightened times, it is almost impossible for us to understand the power and influence of religion in years gone by. It was the cornerstone of every life. It touched almost every aspect of everyday existence. Next to the royalty, the clergy were the most powerful people in the land. To deny them was folly. To deny their God meant almost certain death. In those long gone days, a Heretic was considered to be an agent of the devil. He was to be hunted down and punished. It was the Inquisition that did the hunting and the punishing. If the Inquisition accused a man of heresy, he was presumed to be guilty. It was for him to prove he was innocent. Every possible method was employed to extract a confession. The eyes and the ears of the Inquisition were everywhere. This documentary series tells the story of the bloody and menacing work of the Inquisition, established to combat heresy within the Catholic Church.
As the series sheds new light on a dark and bloody chapter of British and European history, we’ll hear tales that chill the blood; watch in horror as the flames lick around the Marian martyrs and other men of high religion and unshakable beliefs; see ordinary innocent people fall victim to religious fanatics and psychopaths.
Throughout the centuries, people have been persecuted, hounded, brutalised and punished simply because of their beliefs – and it’s still going on today. This hard-hitting, powerful series features specially filmed recreations and reconstructions to tell the dramatic stories of how men and women have died for something in which they believe. From the Templars and Cathars, to the bloody Torquemada and the Marian ‘heretics’, we hear stories of incredible courage, raw savagery and brutal torture that go back almost a thousand years.
From the persecution of religions and faiths to the hunt for the mysterious Cathars and Knights Templar, through to the torture and execution of witches, mystics and healers these programmes chronicle bad deeds done in the name of faith.

Part 2: The Spanish Inquisition
The Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition, commonly known as the Spanish Inquisition, was a tribunal established in 1480 by Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. It was intended to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in their kingdoms, ordering Jews and Muslims to convert or leave. It continued for nearly four hundred years. The first autodafe was held in Seville on February 6, 1481: six people were burned alive. From there, the Inquisition grew rapidly. In 1483, Jews were expelled from all of Andalusia. Evidence that was used to identify a Jew included the absence of chimney smoke on Saturdays or the buying of many vegetables before Passover or the purchase of meat from a converted butcher. The court employed physical torture to extract confessions.
