“Throughout the 1480’s the signs multiplied of the approaching end of the era of cultural co-existence in Spain between Christians, Moors and Jews. Religious considerations were partly responsible….Ferdinand and Isabella …were deeply afflicted by the genuine fear that Christian souls would be lost for eternity by the…influence of other faiths. It was expressly for this reason that they established the Castilian Inquisition in 1479 and extended it to all their realms over the following years.”
