In: 2

Answer 1

Simplest answer is,

It was a catholic tribunal set up by the Spanish Monarchy to combat heresy in Spain and Spanish territories

So basically it was a Catholic jury that found, tried, and executed ‘heretics’. It was formed partially in response to the medival inquisition because the Medival inquisition was run by the roman catholic church
