Can you make a video about the Nubian conquest of Egypt in the 8th century BC?
Can you make more videos on Roman history? They really are the best content in this channel
Hey K&G, could you make a video about the influence of the spanish inquisition in latinamerica? It would be awesome!
Very grateful that the video is dubbed into spanish
Please continue the series on crime syndicates
No one expects the french and German inquisition to be worse than the Spanish inquisition
They actually were
Because of English Black Legend propaganda.
I think the reason they're often overlooked is because they happened alongside one of the bloodiest wars of history. So when people think of them they think that yes there were 2 fighting sides both doing this to the other
The Spanish inquisition (as far as I'm aware) wasn't like that. Muslims and jews and converts weren't putting up a fight to begin with
I'm not implying that the war makes it less tragic I'm stating how I think it's viewed generally
"worse" both were targeting heretics, i see no issue.
Everyone expected that the Portuguese inquisition was better than the Spanish inquisition.
Whoever writes those segues from the intro into the sponsor is doing an excellent job!
is that how that’s spelled, goodness gracious I’ve been saying “segway” the entire time!
I know right...
@Emiel De Wit It's not a K&G video without some really weird or meh ad content.
Thanks!
Only in the massacre of Saint Bartholome (5,000-30,000 deaths) or the witch persecutions in Germany and England during the 16th century (25,000) were there more deaths than in the three centuries of existence of the Spanish Inquisition (3,000 deaths at most). In addition, while in the 17th century in most of Europe alleged witches were still being executed in Spain, this practice had already been prohibited at the beginning of the century. However, despite all the data that exists that shows that religious persecution was worse in the rest of Europe, what remains in the world's mind is the topic of the Spanish Inquisition. The reason for this is not because the Spaniards were kinder or more tolerant than the rest of the Europeans, but because of the obligation of the Inquisition to follow all kinds of paperwork and legal procedures before sentencing someone, while in the rest of Europe a single accusation was enough so that your own neighbors or the authorities executed you.
Regarding the caste system, several historians have questioned the existence of this phenomenon in the historical sociopolitical dynamics, considering that it could be a modern invention, emerged in the 1940s, that would distort qualifiers and lexicon of colonial culture to result in the system being exposed. The historian Pilar Gonzalbo devoted a study entitled The Caste Trap to dismissing the idea of this kind of social regulation in New Spain, as long as this system was understood as a "social organization based on race and sustained by coercive power" in the way its two main popularizers claimed.
Joanne Rappaport, in her 2013 book The Disappearing Mestizo, also rejected the caste system for its problems of historical interpretation, including the difficulty of applying this model to the entire colonial world and the weakness of the relationship between "caste" and "race" that could have been found in this period. Ben Vinson, in a study of the historical archives of Mexico carried out in 2018, addressing the issue of racial diversity in Mexico and its relationship with imperial Spain, ratified these conclusions.
Personally, it seems contradictory to me that there was supposedly an iron caste system but at the same time Isabel I approved a law on mixed marriages in 1503 (in the United States it was prohibited until well into the 20th century) and that there were also black, indigenous, Creoles, mulattoes and mestizos occupying important positions such as; Agustín Agualongo a mestizo who was Supreme Commander, Antonio Huachaca, an indigenous man who reached the rank of general, Joaquín Mosquera y de Figueroa, a Creole who became regent of Spain, Juan Latino, the first black professor in the history of Europe, and Eusebio Puello Castro, a mulatto general. Like these cases, there are hundreds if not thousands of names of people of all kinds of race who held great positions in the Spanish empire.
Indeed. In my view, This is probably the result of english freemason propaganda against the catholic church and Spain. But I would like to hear your opinion. What do you think about it?

This is true. Just take a look at what the Protestant reformer, Calvin, did to a Spanish heretic who had fled from the French inquisition. He lured him into Protestant Geneva just so he could execute him instead. I’m not sure why the Spanish Inquisition is regarded as something unique to the Spanish. It was practised throughout Europe in the 16th and 17th century, not just Spain.
*Calvin and Servetus were first brought into contact in 1546 through a common acquaintance, Jean Frellon; they exchanged letters debating doctrine. To Calvin, who had written his summary of Christian doctrine, Servetus' latest book was an attack on historical Nicene Christian doctrine and a misinterpretation of the biblical canon. Calvin sent a copy of his own book as his reply. Servetus promptly returned it, thoroughly annotated with critical observations. Calvin wrote to Servetus, "I neither hate you nor despise you; nor do I wish to persecute you; but I would be as hard as iron when I behold you insulting sound doctrine with so great audacity". In time, their correspondence grew more heated until Calvin ended it. When Servetus mentioned in a letter to Calvin that he would come to Geneva, Calvin wrote a letter to his friend William Farel on 13 February 1546 noting that if Servetus were to come, he would not assure him safe conduct: "for if he came, as far as my authority goes, I would not let him depart alive."*
*In 1553 Servetus published Christianismi Restitutio, in which he rejected the Christian doctrine of the Trinity and the concept of predestination. In the same year, Calvin's representative, Guillaume de Trie, sent letters alerting the French Inquisition to Servetus. Calling him a "Spanish-Portuguese", suspecting and accusing him of his recently proved Jewish converso origin. When the inquisitor-general of France learned that Servetus was hiding in Vienne, according to Calvin under an assumed name, he contacted Cardinal François de Tournon, the secretary of the archbishop of Lyon, to take up the matter. Servetus was arrested and taken in for questioning. He managed to escape from prison, and the Catholic authorities sentenced him in absentia to death by slow burning.*
*On his way to Italy, Servetus stopped in Geneva to visit Calvin, where he was recognized and arrested. While waiting for the responses, the council also asked Servetus if he preferred to be judged in Vienne or in Geneva. He begged to stay in Geneva. On 20 October the replies from Zurich, Basel, Bern, and Schaffhausen were read and the council condemned Servetus as a heretic. The following day he was sentenced to burning at the stake, the same sentence as the French Inquisition in Vienne.*
We were not expecting a video on the Spanish Inquisition!
Bravo
Came down here looking for this comment. Was not disappointed! 👍🏻
I didn't expect it to be so simplistic and one sided either.
“Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!”

@@johnklaus9111 Calling Christianity evil is quite rude, especially since Christianity is why Europe isn't as barbaric as it was in pagan times, but Christianity has been changed very much and became very messed up as it developed.
They turned one God into three. They changed the name of Zeus into The Father. They say that God begets (God forbid), as if he was Zeus who is famous for begetting characters such as Perseus and Hercules.
Christians adopted pagan practises. They aren't circumcised, they drink intoxicating drinks (which leads to sin), they say that God's old laws (such as not eating pork) don't apply anymore.
Christians and Jews claim that Prophets have sinned. Christians have no respect for Prophet Adam, and they paint him nude (God forbid)! They lack respect for their father and the father of humanity!
you simply cannot get your sources on Spanish history from an english historian, especially if theyre from the early 20th century backwards, because of the Black Legend mainly. You did mention the Black Legend here on the video, defending it as a victim of exaggeration and lies which is good, but then you spent the entire fucking video saying exactly what the Black Legend says.
It might be noted that Henry Kamen held a more negative view of the Inquisition before he was granted unrestricted access to the archives of the Spanish Inquisition for research on his book "The Spanish Inquisition: A Historical Revision". A fascinating read of a very tragic situation either way.
Tragic to what extent? It was so benevolent on comparison to a regular judgement process, that many of its proceedings were the basis that brought forward today's procedural law all around the western world.
@@Miolnir3 How are the persecutions and executions NOT tragic? Somehow the Inquisition was a good thing overall? You people are weird.

@FEC Multimedia The Catholic is an institution capable of corruption and evil, like everyone else. Any government in the modern world commits more atrocities than it likes to admit. Corporations hide its dirty linen just as much. Do you think Catholic people are more evil than the average person? That’s discrimination and some superiority complex.
The Catholic Church is *not* unique. Mere rabble like you wants to imagine some evil all-powerful church is against all that you stand for, but let’s be honest, you’re too inconsequential to bother.
Kudos for yet another great video, Kings and Generals. I have two comments:
1) There is a very tiny error around 3:42, when the Catholic Kings are introduced as "Queen Isabella II and Kings Ferdinand I of Spain". It's actually Isabella I (of Castille) and Ferdinand II (of Aragon). Or simply the "Catholic Kings" or "Catholic monarchs".
2) Fun Fact: The word "sambenito" used to describe the penitential garments worn by the accused during the public trials (10:35) is utilized in modern Spanish (in addition to its historical meaning) to express that somebody has been discredited, has acquired a bad reputation or is guilty of something. For instance, "Le colgaron el sambenito" (literally, they put the penitential garment on him/her) can be translated as "They discredited him/her"
Technically, both Ferdinand and Isabella were called "Rex/Regina Hispaniarum" (King/Queen of Spain) during their lifetimes as a result of Ferdinand's creation of permanent *spanish* embassies in foreign courts. This actually irritated the Portuguese because up until then, "Hispania/Spain" meant the whole Peninsula.
It's just that their regnal numbers are a matter of contention when calling them "of Spain" (especially Ferdinand who, apart from being Ferdinand II of Aragon, Sicily & Sardinia, also happened to be Ferdinand V of Castile, Ferdinand I of Navarre and Ferdinand III of Naples). Since the Bourbons decided to abolish the personal union established by Ferdinand and Isabella and go with one unitary state that was essentially Castile, the Kings are numbered as per the Castilian line. In that way, Ferdinand is *Ferdinand V of Spain* and Isabella is *Isabella I of Spain* .
1 not true. They were infants if Spain, which gave the clay for his niece to the Spanish Crown.
2 doesn't mean discredited, means has something bad happening to him or has bad luck
Fun fact, Spain killed a tiny number of protestants while in protestants territories catholics where killed by thousands...
@Lucius Domitus Aurelianus yes, but does not change also the fact that the millions of judes burnt alive in the 20th century would have picked up the destiny of the few thousands medieval spanish judes
@Lucius Domitus Aurelianus Still doesn't change the fact that compared to the Lutherans and English Anglicans they were quite lax but Anglo-protestant propaganda glosses over would have people believe the opposite.
All society at that time was brutal.
Finally the names of the Iberian Monarchs were Isabel and Fernando yet for some reason Anglos use the italianised Isabella and anglicised Ferdinand.
I don't care what the English speakers say, as a Hispanic I am completely grateful that the Spanish have come here to Hispanic America and have taught us their stuff, because surely if it had been the British Empire, there would be no stone left unturned and there would be racial conflicts like those in the United States.
What?????! No comment.

The spanish Inquisition is the famous one and its speak only about her, but the german medieval inquisition has a bigger number of victims.
Finally we can get to the truth to of the question: DId anybody expect the Spanish inquistion? :D
Kinda funny that the answer was „yes, everyone expected the Spanish Inquisition, all the time“
No one expect this video
No mention of the comfy chair!
Yup, unironically, they would let you know that they were going to come to see you in a certain amount of time, and they were really sceptical of rumours and accusations without proof.
They weren't good by any means, but they weren't half as bad as history remmebers them.
History matters already answered it
Not a single historian cited here is Spanish, they are all English-speaking..
Actually he does mention one spanish historian.

Y???
@@MATTEOSARTORI69 It's a comfy chair. What do you expect? The creators of the vid might think it referenced their content if that happened

The part about the abolition of the Inquisition at the end was increadibly misleading. It wasn't just the french invader who abolished the inquisition, but also the Cadiz Courts, which organized the resistance against the french, who banned the Inquisition in the spanish constitution of 1812.
Also, the queen regent Maria Cristina didn't ban the Inquisition out of her own will. There was a liberal revolt in 1836 and in the constitution that followed it in 1837 the inquisition was finally abolished.
You talk about the fact that the inquisition debate is still open but you only show a minute of the revisionist point of view to immediately go on to the one that "refutes" him saying that the executions were the least important as fear and paranoia. The inquisition was much less brutal compared to the rest of Europe, even the native Americans in the Spanish empire were exempt from being judged by the inquisition. How is fear and paranoia going to be an important factor if only a 2- 4% in all the centuries that lasted? The French killed an estimated 200,000 to 1,000,000 Cathars, tens of times more than the entire Inquisition including women and children, I have my doubts but I think what the French did was much more effective in causing fear. And let's not talk about the burning of witches in Protestant Germany where 25 thousand women died as a result of paranoia, or the persecution of Catholics in England where more than 20,000 Catholics died during the Henry the VIII and Elizabeth the I reigns alone. How to explain that the whole world remembers the Spanish inquisition as an act of brutality, corruption and the worst religious fanaticism if it is not for the malicious propaganda of the black legend?
All roads lead to Rome.
@@josecipriano3048 If the Inquisition was an English thing, people would kiss its ass and make several excuses for it. However, because it was Spanish, people will evidently complain about it with every fibre of their being...
@@josecipriano3048 obviously not, but i still miss the comparison, and i'll try to explain why.
There's a clear historical bias which has trickled down to popular culture. the inquisition was considered for a long time the epitome of European religious brutality, and that's at best a gross oversimplification.
Religious intolerance resulting in violence was a widespread ocurrence in Europe and arguably the inquisition was quite Tame for the time (at least in terms of executions)
Furthermore, the inquisition Is generally used to exemplify religious intolerance in Europe, when It was actually (as the video clearly states) a very unusual institution. Most religious tribunals were local, poorly organised, very prone yo death sentences and with very little Royal control.
This has led to a syncretization of the different local realities in europe into the spanish inquisition.
For example, Many people incorrectly believe most Witch Burns were done by the inquisition, Who was notoriously against the concept of witchcraft.
I actually think the video does a good job of explaining the inquisition, but It somewhat fails to put It in the wider context of religious intolerance in Europe.
This generally wouldn't be needed but given the wide level of misinformation related to the topic It would've been an interesting adition.
I think historians should try to repair this warped view. I for example like the heavy emphasis of the video on censorship which IS often not mentioned despite Its importance in the institution.
It's not about "repairing" the image, but about correcting It. The inquisition was terrible, but not in the way most people imagine It.
@@chideraalexanderdex547 torture was something that was completely accepted throughout Europe as a method of interrogation, in fact the inquisition was quite limited compared to other courts, for example when there is enough evidence to convict the accused but he refuses to confess, having prohibited maim , mutilate, draw blood or cause any sort of permanent damage, for a maximum of 15 minutes and with the supervision of a physical and the approval of a doctor who considers that the defendant can withstand torture without damage. By contrast, European civil trials from England to Italy and from Spain to Russia could and did use torture without justification and for as long as they considered. So much so that there were serious tensions between the Inquisition and Felipe III, since the Inquisitors denounced that "those people sent to the King's prisons blasphemed and accused themselves of heresy only to be sent to the Inquisitorial jurisdiction instead of that of the King" and that was bringing down the courts of the Inquisition. During the reign of Philip IV there were reports from the Inquisitors about people who "blasphemed, especially in winter, only to be confined and fed inside the prison." And no, the inquisition did not persecute the natives unless they were false converts.
@@chideraalexanderdex547 Much of the evangelization of the continent was given thanks to religious orders such as the Jesuits, who founded a large number of towns formed by the majority of indigenous people and not by force. How could a few hundred scattered Spaniards force an entire continent by violence?
Again, i usually love the content , but i fear again the video suffers from lack of actual spanish sources and the reliance on anglo ones. This seems to be a standard of K&G , like the cartagena de indias video, where it would let you believe that the british performed excelently and admirable and just fell dead out of magical happenstance. Particularly using Toby green , a west african and lusophone historian with not exactly a focus on the subject (to boot, he uses sources from my region ,latin america, wich are, well very limited , by admitance of the own best historians of my own country, Peru, since most registries and works are back in spain) Using him against probably one of the only british historians (Kamen) who has actually done academic work both in england and spain , and has formed multiple thesis out of this decades long investigation is ... well.
The inquisition in latin america had chapter of its own, and it mainly acted against foreig preachers and protestants , for example in lima, where executions could be counted with the hands in their 300 years of history here. But what really throws off is the idea that the inquisitions "suported the casta system and further abuses of the natives" wich really tells what bias he has. The "casta system " is a meme , it didnt happen , mostly , and is an anglo aplication of their understanding of european-native relations, like the british in india. What happened in america, at least in the viceroyalty of Peru, for example, was that what primed was nobility and rank and not "race". Most native nobles were well above most white spanish, be them rich or not , and almost always above criollos, wich made them extremely jealous of them in many cases, and was , in no small part, what led to the horrible treatment by the newly independant nations of the native population, ocne they casted off spanish overlordship. The only "peninsular" nobles who were really on top where the onces from castille, but they were on top of everyone, be it lords from mexico, peru, sicily, aragon, or anywhere else really, this was due to the nature of feudalism . To boot, spanish peasants were arguably worse off than native ones in america, as such , there is absolutely no proof of any sort of aplication of the supoused "casta system", anywhere, at best the popular paints that we have both in mexico and peru serve as attemps at taxnomy for the incredible variation and diversity found in spanish kingdoms.
Fact is, in place like my country , again, the spanish had an administrative and comercial role in a few coastal cities like Lima, and true factual power was held by the native lords torught the core of the country, who were both the economic motor and responsible for keeping the peace on the kingdom , hence the extremely low incidents of revolts trought spanish rule, adn the fact that the spanish never, in thier history, had to send armies to america, it was all american amies, mostly led and made up of the native population.Revolts like the one of Tupa Amaru II (wich was a product of the bourbons reforms and the creation of the viceroyalty of the rio de la plata) were entirely smashed by loyalist natives , and never prospered due to , overall, strong popular support for spain.
I agree completely with this comment.
I'm sorry guys, but this time you failed miserably. This is not a proper historical treatment of the Inquisition, this is whig history at its worst.
This is good. Are there any books or articles you recommend about this?
@@michelleahrens4818 Anything written by Henry kamen, who has decades of excelent investigative work about spain, done while working in spain , that is if you speak english. i have other sources, but they are in spanish, sadly.
The Inquisituon was no different than Taliban or isis. Always defended by the Spanish alone. Only Spanish colonies have converted subjects, and death of culture of their subjects. Be it Latin America, Philippines, and even the Iberian peninsula. All your sources are Spanish who are biased to ensure spainish history is clean and without flaw. In my opinion it's best to accept it, and work on ensuring this never happens again, instead of outright denying it.
@@monosodiumglutemate8216 What the fuck are you going on about?, there was no inquisition on latin america to "convert subjects" they werent allowed by law, and they actually followed the law.
The taliban or isis are ultrareligious, anacronistic mounstrocities born out of desperation against the terrible damage sufferd to their societies by big powers, the english and french first, and then the USA and soviets.The spanish inquistion was a , surprisingly progrsive(for the standards of the age) instituition in many aspects for the 16th century, that operated mainly in spain tasked with protecting the only thing that gave them national unity, their catholic religion, nothing more.
Spanish history, if you knew anything about it, is extremely auto critical and full of self examination, to boot, my main source in the coment was both AMERICAN writers (all of them from peru), not european ones, and a british man, how the fuck are they from spain? If you could actually understand or read spanish i would given them to you, like Rostorowsky, but no, i don't think you do.
I really like how you present different opinions from various historians in some of these videos, rather than just authoritatively stating things which may or may not be true. Well done!

@Steffan Blanco not really, the local societies were racist for our standards but there was specific legislation for indian population ("republica de indios") where they were brutally obliged to have communal lands protected against occupation by other groups and pay fewer taxes than the rest of the population. Fortunately, that was abolished with the independence in different criollo's republics ending that unfair treatment in the viceroyalty period. Anyway, yes, all were Spanish subjects although, as said, not with the same rights and obligations.
@@nosoyyo-su9zw I wouldn't portray the abolition of colonial protection of Indian lands as a good thing...it led to the dispossession of ancient indigenous nations of their lands, which fell into the hands of the brutal Criollo elite who wanted nothing more than the power of the Peninsulares. It would take a century for Mexican peasants to have some semblance of their land back with the Mexican Revolution.
@@EmisoraRadioPatio check your sarcasmometer :)
@@nosoyyo-su9zw Most people dont even know that the lower etchelons in society like the natives and slaves hated the criollos and fought against the independence movement lol
@Steffan BlancoYes they were spanish. They were subjects of the spanish crown and thus equally protected. In fact Spain struggle to keep the criollos from exploiting natives for example. You can check the laws if Burgos of 1512 and the New Laws of 1542. Most dont know slaves could denounce their masters to authorities if mistreat. Only wealthy spanish were sent to the american colonies to rule. So most Pemninsulares were the wealthy ones, the elites, sent to administrate the colonies. Those who werent wealthy ended up mixing with the locals. A caste system was never recognize legally by any authority. It was more a social stratification of society (with wealth involved) than a law based stratification.
To be honest the whole "Casta as an all-powerful colonial system" is also under debate because we see both cases of antagonistic and harmonious ethnic relations across the former Spanish colonies in the Western Hemisphere.
compare the invented Casts in spanish empire Vs British or French or Belgium... I am sure all those colonies ex-alive natives would have dream to have a Cast sistem...

Ok lmao
Very few muslims converted and even then most of them were Iberian Christians who had converted to islam (Soft compulsion, jizya etc.)
On the contrary many Iberian converts ended up in the Maghreb.
The threat of a fifth column from internal Muslims and Ottoman and Magrebi raids ( razzias)for European slaves made the fear of an Islamic invasion very credible.
Many Jews did convert, especially those who were only nominally Jewish who became nominally
" Catholic" with many becoming rich and famous.
Now this is Black Legend. Funny the oldest and deadliest prosecutions in the north of Europe or the protestant witch hunts are so unknown.
Honestly i never expected you guys to make a video about this

Great video as always but regarding the torture, there was only a single method used by the inquisition (the rack) not that it make it less horrible but sometimes people go very wild with the torture methods of the inquisition. To be fair, there was way less death sentences than most people believe. The biggest crippling consequence of the inquisition in my opinion was the perpetual aura of misstrust and fear that instigated in the population during its long existance. I hope you also make some videos about how the other countries and faiths managed their own prosecution systems
1 torture had to be done under medical observation
2 people preferred to be caught by the inquisition rather than the civilian/king pawns. The inquisition had rules about the interrogation
As the other commenter mentioned there are records of people striving to be tried by the Spanish Inquisition instead of the secular authorities, as they were pretty lenient in comparison, both in methods and judgement.
@@maxstirner6143 indeed, besides as far as I know it was limited to 15 minutes and it couldn t be used to extort a confession; the only exception was when the accused was already declared guilty but he had refused so far to provide some kind of informations (e.g. a man is found guilty of a murder but he refuses to tell the location of the body)
@@Hungabrigoo actually a very nice short story about this is told in some episodes of perez-reverte's books.
During the context of absolute misery that the mere existence of a roman-like empire casted upon the streets of spain, jobs like beggar (mendigo), prostitute (bachillera de labrocho), orphan stealers (picaros o barateros) and hitmen (valentones) infested the streets, and whenever any of them were about to get caught in their illegal actions, they literally climbed through the one meter walls of the churches of Seville, or ran into the square of the oranges in the cathedral, to escape from police. The fact was not that police couldn't physically catch them, but that once they crossed the perimeter of the church, they had to respond to its jurisdiction, and the civil authorities lacked potestas to take them out.
This, in the case of the valentones, was even more symbolic because tens or hundreds of them, planned their crimes intentionally to end up taking "refuge" in the church, which was called "acogerse a sagrado" or "to remit oneself to the sacred, with the immediate consequence that on an average day, the square of the cathedral was filled with those people, who had to remain inside because the guards were always waiting outside, trying to play to be football gatekeepers medieval styla with sword in hand.
My ancestors were moors living in Spain,
The story told in my family today is that eventually my grand grandfather owned a house in Seville and lived there years after the Christians take over , but when the inquisition started they have been offered either to convert or leave they chose to leave, they arrived in Morocco with the key of the house which they still own to this day.
That is sad, but in that times, in other European conties like England, France, Duch, Germany... The jews were not asked to leave, they just were masacred by riots.
There is no such thing as Moors that name has no ethnic meaning
Oof that is sad, as someone whose ancestors were spanish we owe so much of our culture to the moors and muslims that lived there. Hope you can go back to Sevilla one day and see your house again
@@maximipe Maximiliano amigo, como va a encontrar su casa si han pasado 500 años o medio milenio y no la ha visto en su vida. Y eso en el remoto caso de que no la derribaran para hacer otra casa. XDDD
Fake story my lad. Moors means "Muslims" in Spanish, and 90% of them were etnic spanish people, of which 80% converted to Christianity and the 20% that remained were either expelled or converted. That was in 1530 so it would be your great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather. Very imposible to follow a line that goes back 500 years. Usually, is full of mistakes when passed down. And the ones that went to Morrocco with the Key were expelled Jewish people, not Moriscos. So if that's the case you descent from Sephardic jews not Moriscos.

When a Wikipedia article becomes a video. Only uses political left and antichristian sources and when countered with counter arguments all becomes "revisionism".
I would have loved to help participate in the writing of this one. I have a masters in Caribbean history and also specialize in Spanish-American history.
I was taking notes on the video and I ended up erasing a lot of it because it was covered near the end. It was I reference to the numbers of accused vs number of executed and also the mention of the black legend of the inquisition. Thank you so much for that!
But, the part of America, I really wished you guys would have mentioned a bit of when and how the practice began in America. It began in 1511 in Puerto Rico when Alonso Manso was assigned bishop of the newly settled colony of Caparra (later San Juan) and also as an inquisitor in America. It didn’t spread to other major cities until the late 16th century and early 17th century.
Many of the converted in Spain moved to the americas and continued practicing their original religions in secret and tried to move as far away from major cities as possible.
One of my mentors did his thesis on the Spanish Inquisition in America and I learned a lot of this from him
Yeah it was interesting how the people who fled the religious persecution essentially had to keep one step ahead of the common populace coming over
The Spanish Inquisition remains today as the greatest exponent of religious intolerance in the popular imagination. The black legend, whose foundations were shaped by Dutch and English propaganda, has contributed a lot to strengthening this idea, hiding under the attic the data that demonstrate that religious persecution during the 16th and 17th centuries in the rest of Europe reached terrifying figures. When it is said that the Inquisition was one of the European courts that offered the most procedural guarantees, far above civil justice, it literally means that in some countries, intolerance, such as in England, was exercised without legal brakes or restrictions. This man tells a lot of lies to hide the atrocities that were committed in England in 16th and 17th century . Let's start with the brutal persecution of Catholics in the England of Elizabeth I: Elizabeth I of England was the fruit of a marriage that had started a schism in the Catholic Church, making her a bastard in case the Anglican cause failed. The Virgin Queen spared no violence to remain in power and reduce to ashes the resurgence of Catholicism that Philip II of Spain and his English wife, Mary Tudor, dreamed of in the mid-16th century. A bloodbath due to religious intolerance: Henry VIII began the persecution of Catholics in 1534 with the Act of Supremacy, which proclaimed him absolute head of the Church of England and declared anyone who sympathized with the Pope of Rome to be traitors. A long list of senior Church officials rejected this act and were correspondingly executed, including Thomas More and Bishop John Fisher. All Church properties passed into royal hands. In 1535, in the midst of a wave of repression, the monks of the London Charterhouse were dismembered, led by their prior, John Houghton. They were hanged and mutilated in the infamous Tyburn Square, as an example against an order characterized by its austerity and simplicity. The balance was 18 men, all of whom have been officially recognized by the Catholic Church as true martyrs. Likewise, the failure of a Catholic rebellion against the King ended in 1537 with the death sentences of another 216 people, 6 abbots, 38 monks and 16 priests. The suffering changed sides for a while with the accession of Mary Tudor to the throne once her only male brother, Edward VI, died. The "bloodthirsty queen" would never forget that with the divorce of her parents, in 1533, she had to renounce the title of princess and that, a year later, an act of the English Parliament stripped her of the succession in favor of the princess. Isabel. Under the reign of Mary and her husband Philip II of Spain, nearly 300 men and women were executed for heresy between February 1555 and November 1558. Many of those persecuted were involved in Mary's traumatic childhood, beginning with Thomas Cranmer , who, as Archbishop of Canterbury, authorized the divorce of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon. The premature death of Mary brought her sister Isabel to power in 1558. Philip II's wife designated her sister as heir in her will in the hope that she would abandon Protestantism, without suspecting that this would be the death blow to Catholicism. in the British Isles. In a short time, Isabel reversed all the efforts of her previous reign and launched a hunt for Catholics throughout the entire country. As María Elvira Roca Barea explains in her book "Empirephobia and Black Legend" (Siruela), the persecutions of English Catholics caused 1,000 deaths, including religious and lay people, in contrast to what happened in Spain, where "fewer people died accused of heresy than in any country in Europe. The English neighborhood complaints system The reign of Elizabeth I began by reestablishing the Act of Supremacy, which made attendance at the religious services of the new cult mandatory. In case of failure, the sanctions ranged from lashes to death. The State, not in vain, promoted a system of denunciations by which those who did not denounce their neighbors could end up in jail. The target was not only Catholics, but also Calvinists, Quakers, Baptists, Congregationalists, Lutherans, Mennonites and other religious groups who, in most cases, were forced to flee to America. In the time of Charles II of Stuart alone more than 13,000 Quakers were imprisoned and their property expropriated by the Crown. In 1585, Parliament gave Catholic priests a period of 40 days to leave the country under threat of death and mass was prohibited even privately. However, repression increased with the failure of Philip II's Great Armada in 1588 and the denunciation system reached levels "that the inquisition never dreamed of." As María Elvira Roca Barea explains in her book "Empirephobia and Black Legend" (Siruela), the persecutions of English Catholics caused 1,000 deaths, including religious and lay people, in contrast to what happened in Spain, where "fewer people died accused of heresy than in any country in Europe.

However, repression increased with the failure of Philip II's Great Armada in 1588 and the denunciation system reached levels "that the inquisition never dreamed of." As Roca Barea points out, the neighborhood spy system allowed strict individual control and the movements and trips of acquaintances, relatives and travelers. The repression managed to permanently erase Catholicism from England in a matter of ten years. A whole series of alleged Catholic plots, always confusing and based on rumors, justified the Crown's periodic intensification of repression. The Great Fire of London of 1666 was blamed on Catholics and triggered a new persecution. Between 1678 and 1681 an alleged Catholic plot attributed to Titus Oates gave rise to other fierce hunts. In parallel to these events, Ireland used Catholicism as a form of resistance to English rule. Religion was just one more factor in the war to keep England at a safe distance, but it escalated violence and hatred until the conflict became a bloodbath. An estimated one-third of the Irish population suffered the deadly consequences of Ireland's involvement in the 1636 civil war between English royalists and republicans. Oliver Cromwell never had mercy on the Irish rebels linked to Catholicism, a confession towards which he felt a certain personal aversion. Hundreds of thousands of Irish were murdered and their land confiscated and given to English landowners. Hundreds of thousands more, almost all men, were deported to English colonial America as slaves under the euphemistic name “Indurated Servants.”

I love to watch spanish related history videos from this channel, as excellent as all the others. However, the data you showed, although right feels extrange without being compared and reasoned.
You can name the thousands of deaths during the centuries together and say its bloodly but if its not compared with other data of the period there is a good ammount of lost information.
If you compare It with the spanish civil laws or other inquisitions of the time you can see that the most infamous european inquisition was an advance in personal rights justice, being truly needed to probe someones guilt by mostly fair methods.
This video was quite mediocre really.

@@OmegaFares what's your point?
@trueblueclue Who?
Would be nice to expand the Inquisition History going back to its origins. Also I am wondering about the other Sacred Tribunals going back to the age of The Roman Empire and its legal procedures. Also I am wondering about its battles. In Spain or across the Empire I am not sure if they had any military operations. Other question would be the powers of a Regent : can a Regent abolish such a high and perpetual authority established by the monarchy for such a long time? Did anyone question the legality of this act? Was a successor to it or a secret agency that was never abolished?
What an facsinating insight, linking the Inquisition with the Roman Empire's legal procedures. On the surface there does seem to be a similarity with the Inquisition and the various perscutions of Christians in the Roman Empire and their refusal to worship the emperor.
There was nothing sacred aboutthose tribunals.
it started with christianity itself
On Regents:
People misunderstand how the position typically worked in most European governments. The person who was regent was never really leader in a truly 'legal' sense or anything like that, they were simply the de-facto head of government, as they held the most influence over the King, until they are of age or not longer incapacitated (coma, severe illness).
The Regent rules upon two different pillars, the approval of the monarch, and the approval of the various estates and interest groups within the State. The monarch was usually the less influential of these two pillars.
Regents held all powers of the monarch themselves in theory, but in practice they are restrained by possible revolt or losing their job.
When I saw the video, the first thing that pop up in my mind was

This channel is real gold for history lovers as l am
Waiting for Jewish, Muslim and Protestant sources and views in next videos
It would have been interesting to metion the inquisitor Alonso Salazar y Frías, who was against burning witches and consider this more of a fantasy thing than a real crime, that influence in the fact that witchcraft crime weren't punished by dead since his theories (begining of the XVII century), while in Germany were celebrated the Wuzburg witches trials, one of the biggest in European history.
There are also small details that doesn't help the video, like saying this is "medieval religion" when Spanish Inquisition wasn't in that period, or say that Joseph I was the only one that forbid the inquisition. This last one looks like that Spanish people were so brute that they need the French help, but in 1813 the Spanish antifrench side abolish it. Rven more, a liberal revolution in 1820 reabolish it, but was reinstaled by Ferdinand VII with the French support.
There are also some things that are mention without explanation like the torture part, because without mentioning the one that were use, it gives us the image of these false torture instruments created on XIXth century of the inqusitions museums being used. The same with the posibility of the inquisition being a cause of the decline of the Spanish empire (it is at the same level of saying that protestant countries become richer than the catholic ones only because of their faith). Or even the mention of the casta system in America, which has many doubts around it, and it probably wasn't a rigid and close system, with the existance of mestizo landowners and nobles or black landowners, conquistadors and even slaveowners.
These kind of details make the video a little dissapointing, and perpetuate some of history misconceptions, which it is sad coming from a history youtube channel

There might have been racism in the spanish colonies, I won't deny that. But at least we intermingled with the locals, in the british colonies on the other hand, there is the white population and then the black population and 2 or 3 native americans left with little traces left of their culture. At least Mexico,
Colombia, Peru, etc have kept a lot of their racial identity and culture intact...
Latin America is also much more mixed, I think it is also a sign of a more tolerant society
Probably because Catholics cared more about religion than race, meanwhile Protestantism is much more diverse and was often twisted to accomodate racism.
@@johnluis2593 @John Luis It was less populated but the ones that lived there were destroyed nonetheless. And also, how comes that the mexico/US border is such a racial boundary? Was there such population difference separated by a kilometer? It is quite obvious that the Spanish mixed with the locals a hell of a lot more than the Brits, no matter what. A curious fact: Cortez's heir was the son of an indigenous woman, la Malinche. That fact alone speaks tons about the differences between both colonial domains.
@@johnluis2593 Understand that the spanish race is not as white as northern europeans. Some spanish people are actually quite dark and that meant that they felt less alienated mingling with non whites, maybe not blacks, unfortunately but brown skinned peoples.

First, thanks to your channel for making a video of the spanish history in spanish becouse for a spanish historian like me, it is a plesaure to see that someone else is intrested in the spanish history.
Second there is a error in the video and is the meaning of the objetive of the inquisición, because as one of the eminences in this matter in Spain
The profesor Contreras told me, in the spannish empire you can be of any religion but you can't change it, an example, if you were jude and you dont judeizar in english the meaning is practice the judism you have not any problem, but if you were jude and you baptize and only after that, the person comit judeizar then the inquisición enter in action.
Third and last:in the spannish empire never exists the crime of witch so that is a big error, the font that i use is proffesor Contreras book that studies the inquisition from inside.
This is not a defence of some of the crimes that the institution made but as an historian and as a spaniard i couldn't stay away of this errors, but eliminating this things a very intereting video.

"No one expects the Pokémon Inquisition!"
Some random Evil Team in Gen IX Pokémon.
In 1499, an unusual prophet popped up in the Spanish town of Herrera del Duque by the name of Ines Esteban, a girl of about 10 or 11 years old. She claimed that the Messiah would come to the Earth the next year, and rescue the conversos, Jews who converted to Christianity, and take them to the Promised Land. The Inquisition was less than pleased to hear about all this, and a month after the Messiah failed to show up, Ines was arrested and held in the city of Toledo between May and July 1500. Despite the fact that she was just a child, the Inquisition showed no mercy, and she was burned at the stake. So horrible... How could anyone burn a child alive?
Those who burned that girl did so in secret, violating the Torquemeda laws that dictated that girls under 12 and boys under 14 could not be burned, so it was a case of legal arbitrariness, caused by some conflict political.
@@chrisaustin7644 That makes it even worse.
@@sgauden02 Maybe you think that this does not happen in today's reality, friend, life is not a fairy tale, in the United States they sentenced a child to death for evil, to the electric chair for being black. in the inquisition there was a case of arbitrariness because in its beginnings it was an institution that was not very controlled, it depended on the local bishops until it became more centralized and organized and those things stopped happening, VERY DIFFERENT from the Protestant world that burned everything that moved Whether it's a child or a woman or an old man or whatever.
The stretches, work outs, exercises, and strokes were inordinately
This is the tale as it has been told by the anti-catholic establishment... There seems to be a morbid fascination with this subject, but in truth it wasn't any worse than persecutions that took place in Europe all around the Middle Ages/Modern Age. Like persecutions of catholics and witch hunts in the UK, or violence inflicted by Calvinist communities. The fact is that for most of its history, the Spanish Inquisition was in practice, merely symbolic.
La leyenda negra es lo que tiene. Lo único en lo que destaca la Inquisición española es que fue la que más duró, pero jamás la más sangrienta. Una cantidad ingente de documentos lo corrobora.

My godfather is descendant of one of the so-called witches tortured to death in the Basque country :( That being said, witch-hunts by the Spanish Inquisition were extremely rare (I think this was the only one).
Most probably was a case of out-of-boundaries jurisprudence, since the Inquisition had no authorization to judge people that were not catholics being suspected of heresy or false converts. Witches were simply expelled from society and sent to perpetual exile whenever possible. The most traumatic event that would've been to "endure" a simple exorcism or to be expelled if they insisted on keeping those practices.
I read that the Basque witch hysteria was the largest witch hunt in Europe with about 7,000 people arrested. This however was an initiative of the local magistrates. About a dozen people died in the hands of the local courts before the Spanish inquisitor Salazar y Frias intervened and had all of the remaining cases dismissed.
He considered belief in witchcraft to be a silly superstition.
I myself share the last name of one of the members of the Inquisition but he was a bishop so I could not be a direct descendant.

You know how ham is extremely popular in Spain? We can thank the Inquisition’s desire to unite Spanish religious and cultural practices for that. A common method of rooting out “fake” Marranos and Moriscos from “true” converts was for Inquisition agents to serve the accused a meal of ham, because the religious authorities were well aware of Judaism and Islam’s prohibitions on the consumption of pork. If the accused ate it, their faith was deemed real and they were absolved of suspicion. But if they refused, they would be arrested and tried for heresy.
They would burn Muslims alive and hold celebrations for that if they found books with them. No one was spared from the Inquisition except the Catholics. Even Spain was the reason for converting Britain from Protestantism to Catholicism. The reason that prompted many Jews and Protestants to join the Ottoman Empire, and some of them founded a state with Muslims in Morocco called the Sea Fighters, which targeted Spanish ships in retaliation for the massacres they committed.
Very fascinating. Spain is very interesting too. I love Spain!
What a disapointment. This matter has been already covered by latest historians as a Black Legend tool, and just by comparing victims of Spanish Vs Other European inquisitions anybody can see that the spanish was the less horrible of all.

Im surprised that it wasnt mentioned how people often preferred to be judged by the inquisition than the secular authorities because the secular authorities were more violent. Also seem misleading not to include that other countries in Europe had killed a lot more people for being witches or heretics. the Spanish onejust had better record keeping and was more organised.

Spoiler: Because of the inquisition institutions were a Catholic thing, England had never had their own inquisition. This doesn't mean that they didn't kill people because of religion.
Kudos for mentioning the black legend and trying to be impartial. The Spanish inquisition IS a product of it's time. Historians who challenge the long held views of it's ferocity are dismissed as wanting to portray a 'Rose legend'. A contrast should be made to what Catholics when through in protestant countries, English history is a perfect example. On average the Spanish inquisition IS exaggerated especially by the anglo dominated cultural West due to the English being in the cross hairs of Spain in the 16th century at the height of the protestant reformation. Also, it is forgotten that there were similar institutions in protestant countries, don't forget the witch hunters in England and it's colonies. Again, a product of it's time, but for English history it is not portrayed as an 'evil massive institution of death' as it is for Spanish history.
