This post continues my posting of the series titled “Secret Files of the Inquisition” which begins with the Papal Inquisitions and continues with Spanish Inquisition and beyond.
This video focuses on Spain in 1468. The videos depicts Spain as a a land where Christians, Muslims and Jews have lived in tolerance for centuries.
While this is somewhat idealistic, there was a measure of tolerance that existed, balanced by the needs of the Christian Kingdoms and the continuing existence of a diminished but still noteworthy Muslim Kingdom of Granada.
