ShortHand: The Spanish Inquisition
LISTEN TO THE EPISODE
The reputation of the Spanish Inquisition is pretty rough: one of the most bloodthirsty, unforgiving, and downright brutal periods in all of European history. But was it?
Well, yes and no. In this week’s ShortHand, we look at the ways it lives up to the legend (torture, suffering, massively messed-up morals, etc) but also, the ways it doesn’t. And we find out why, with so much competition, the Inquisition is remembered as the worst religious persecution in history.
