There were three different instances of the Christian Inquisition: the Roman, the Portuguese, and the Spanish. It was originally put into place to make certain that the citizens who converted from Judaism and Islam remained faithful to the christian religion.

The rulers of Spain didn’t want to put all Protestants, Jews, and Muslims to death but instead wanted to “discourage strong outward belief of other religions.” Many trials ended with the non-Catholic giving up his beliefs and being let go; although, there were some who were persistent in their faith and refused to go down without a fight.
