	The '''Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition''', commonly known as the '''Spanish Inquisition''', was a tribunal established in 1478 by King [[Ferdinand II of Aragon\|Ferdinand II]] of [[Aragon]] and Queen [[Isabella I of Castile\|Isabella I]] of [[Castile]], the monarchs of [[Spain]].

	The establishment of the Spanish Inquisition was authorized in 1478 by Pope [[Sixtus IV]] at the request of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, the King and Queen of Spain, permitting them to appoint [[priest]]s as inquisitors.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed DNA]]'' – Timeline: 1478</ref>		The establishment of the Spanish Inquisition was authorized in 1478 by Pope [[Sixtus IV]] at the request of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, the King and Queen of Spain, permitting them to appoint [[priest]]s as inquisitors.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed DNA]]'' – Timeline: 1478</ref>

	The first ''[[auto-da-fé]]'' (act of faith) was held in [[Seville]] in 1481, during which six people were burned alive. From there, the Inquisition grew rapidly in the Kingdom of Castile.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed DNA]]'' – Timeline: 1481</ref> In 1483, the Supreme Council of the Inquisition was established to supervise all tribunals. That year, all [[Judaism\|Jews]] were {{Wiki\|Expulsion of Jews from Spain\|expelled}} from [[Andalusia]] and a new court was formed with a 30-day grace period for Jews to renounce their religion if they wished to remain.

	The first Inquisitor General was [[Tomás de Torquemada]], who in 1491 was persuaded by then-[[Cardinal]] [[Rodrigo Borgia]] to arrest a number of supposed heretics—in truth, [[Spanish Assassins]]—upon being given a list of supposed heretics. After the [[Assassins\|Assassin]] [[Luis de Santángel]] requested the [[Italian Brotherhood of Assassins\|Italian Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze\|Ezio Auditore]]'s aid, Ezio traveled to Spain to free his fellow Assassins and killed several Inquisitors, namely, [[Gaspar Martínez]], [[Pedro Llorente]], and [[Juan de Marillo]]. However, Ezio spared Torquemada in the mistaken belief that he was not a [[Templars\|Templar]] and had been manipulated by Rodrigo into arresting the Assassins. This unfortunately allowed Torquemada to continue his acts of cruelty as Inquisitor General.<ref name="AC2D">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]''</ref>		The first Inquisitor General was [[Tomás de Torquemada]], who in 1491 was persuaded by then-[[Cardinal]] [[Rodrigo Borgia]] to arrest a number of supposed heretics—in truth, [[Spanish Assassins]]—upon being given a list of supposed heretics.

	In 1558, the Inquisition presided over trials against Lutheran groups and ''autos-da-fé'' were held, some presided over by members of the royal family.
