Torquemada, Tomás
de (1420-1498), Spanish monk and grand inquisitor, known for his
ruthless administration of the Inquisition 1420-1498. A Spanish Dominican
monk who was appointed grand inquisitor for all Spain in 1487. Under his
authority, thousands of Protestants, Jews, suspected
witches and others were killed or tortured during the Spanish Inquisition.
Torquemada used the Inquisition for the next 11 years to investigate and
punish Marranos (insincerely converted Jews) and Moors (a mixture of people,
mostly derived from Arabs and Berbers inhabiting northern Africa), apostates
and others on an unprecedented scale. Torture was used to gain evidence
and a wide range of offenses. About 2000 people were burned at the stake
during Torquemada's term of office. He also supported the expulsion of
the Jews from Spain in 1492.Microsoft®
