Happy Halloween! The Spanish Inquisition, started in 1478 by Ferdinand and Isabella, was used to rid Spain and the Spanish Territories of heretics. The Spanish Inquisition targeted Catholics who strayed from the Catholic teaches and expanded to Jews, Muslims and non-Catholic Christians. Being convicted by an Inquisition tribunal didn't also led to death, but it almost guaranteed torture. Torture to confess your sins, torture to renounce your evil ways or to name other heretics. Today on the Halloween inspired episode we are going to listen to Edgar Allan Poe's The Pit and the Pendulum. It's a tale of one man's experience as he is tried, sentenced and tortured for crimes against the cross.

What is Medieval Archives?
The Medieval Archives Podcast explores the history, people, stories, and mysteries of the Middle Ages.
Join historian and host Gary, the Archivist, as we dig into the real medieval world, from kings, knights, popes, battles, and political intrigue to ordinary life, strange beliefs, and forgotten stories.
Each episode takes a closer look at the people and events that shaped the medieval world, separating history from legend without taking all the fun out of it.
Whether you’re a longtime medieval history enthusiast or just curious about the Middle Ages, there’s always something waiting in the Archives.
