The Spanish Inquisition: Inside the Torture Chamber Revisited

Lucas and Luna delve deeper into the mechanisms of the Spanish Inquisition, focusing on the 'question of torture' and its procedural limits. They explore the infamous instruments—potro, garrucha, toca—and the case of Ana de la Cruz, a conversa from Toledo. Lucas explains how the Suprema regulated torture, required confession to be voluntary under questioning, and why most auto-de-fé sentences did not involve execution. The episode also covers the Edict of Grace and the difference between Spanish and other European inquisitions. #SpanishInquisition #Torture #AnaDeLaCruz #Potro #Garrucha #Toca #Suprema #AutoDeFe #EdictOfGrace #Conversos #Toledo #InquisitionProcedures #QuestionOfTorture #SpanishHistory #Europe #FexingoHistory #History #Podcast #SpainHistory #Reconquista Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
