	Much of their operations during the Renaissance revolved around vying for influence with the [[Christianity\|Christian]] monarchs against the [[Templars]], resulting in several Assassins such as [[Raphael Sánchez]] and [[Luis de Santángel]] being appointed as prominent officials. The Templars in turn preyed on the religious zealotry of the Catholic Monarchs through the [[Spanish Inquisition]], and at the peak of that institution, the Assassins across Spain were targeted as heretics.
