The Spanish Inquisition: Spain's "Black Legend" 

You poor, poor people! Perhaps if you didn't spend most of the working day having a nice siesta you'd be more of a global power on the world today.

Pues lo empezó un español fray bartolomé de las casas, algo sabría o que?

Spain, compared to the Anglo-saxons that came later, was a center of societal rationality, especially with the Habsburgs.

@@s31720 That's such a prejudiced, racist and hispanophobic statement that I don't even know why I bother to answer. I'll just tell you that your answer denotes a total ignorance about Spain and the Spaniards.

@@johnnypickles5256 Sí, claro Fray Bartolomé de las Casas y Antonio Pérez fueron dos de los Españoles que dieron las primeras ideas respecto a la Leyenda Negra. Ambos tenían sus motivos. En el caso de las Casas, parece que le molestaban mucho los malos tratos a los indígenas americanos, pero nada en absoluto los que pudieran causarse a los esclavos africanos. Un análisis detallado de sus escritos, ha hecho sospechar a los psiquiatras que padecía algún tipo de neurosis. Con todo, lo que se dice en esta conferencia, no es que los españoles no cometieran ninguna atrocidad, si no que no cometieron más que otros pueblos y que a pesar de eso han pasado a la historia como crueles e infrahumanos, lo cual no tiene sentido si no es porque el mundo protestante (que derrotándolos se hizo con la hegemonía mundial), tenía especial interés en desacreditar por completo a lo hispano y de paso a lo católico.

Me too, the lecturer did a magnificent job of being unbiased with his presentation.

Well 99% truth is still a lie 100% of the time. 😉

Iberian Muslims were the main targets. They were the biggest group of victim, as they were the majority.

no one is saying spain did not comited crimes. only that the english in both the inquisición times and during the discovery of america, much worsr than the spaniards. And the pro anglo propaganda is coming down with a venganza. lol

I am not. Just read up on the Catholic extermination of the Cathars in Southern France.

Very likely he’s also a non Taoist!

He could have fooled me.

Assuming humans are capable of total objectivity (which is a contradiction in itself) criticism isn't about "fairness". It is about data. Otherwise it is just another opinion, no matter how sophisticated. My two cents.

I agree. I am an historian of a different era of religious dissension and have been both impressed by the learning of current scholarship on the English Reformation and also depressed by how partisan it is (e.g. Duffy versus McCulloch). Professor Ryrie manages so often to see behind the partisanship.

True.

Another one, the Papal States had the lowest number of witch trials in all of Europe.

Yeah. Catholicism denied the existence of magic

It was the removal of alkemetic or moorish science to take the narrative nd control alchemy the science the mason took an made their own.

@@sualtam9509 How you can be lower than zero.

No it wasn't witch craft..it was hewbrews they persecuted

When Spain finally decided to expel Jewish people who refused to convert, Italy, England and France applauded the decision. It was written about as if medieval Spain was finally entering modernity. Spain had been viewed by them as backwards precisely for harbouring religious minorities. There were rumours in Italy claiming Queen Isabel was part Jewish .. How else could she possibly be protecting Jews? But, yes, tell me again how Spanish views were a precursor to antisemitism.

Extraordinary the similarities between the persecution of the Catholic Vendeans by the atheistic revolutionary armies and the persecution of the Huguenots by the Catholics during the French Wars of Religion of the 16th century. Modern estimates for the number of dead across France following the St Bartholomew's Day massacre vary widely, from 5,000 to 30,000. Obviously there is a difference in scale but that may reflect also changes in population. If you go back further to the time of the Albigensian crusade in the 12th century At least 200,000 to at most 1,000,000 Cathars were killed by the French Catholic armies. It seems that the French have a penchant for this sort of thing

That’s because nowadays being white means you can never ever be a victim 🤷🏻‍♂️ not even in history

1,000,000 Cathars???

@@whitepanties2751 la inquisición es una creación FRANCESA, y su función fué la de castigar a esos cismáticos herejes de los Cátaros. Por tanto la inquisición no era sólo Española, sino también era propia de muchos otros países, caso de las brujas de SALEM.

You can add that that trend came directly from the North, and was not happening in Spain for the longest time. It entered Spain and was put an end soon.

@@xmaverickhunterkx Jews were first killed, persecuted, and expelled from England in 1290- from Yorkshire if we believe Benjamin Netanyahu. And hundreds faceless and nameless were tortured and disappeared during the Tudor police state. Not all civilized rectifiers during this brutal period of European history came from the north.

Not really. Read the encyclopedia Britannica about Black legend: First slander against Spain begings in the 14th century in Italy. There is literature on this matter writen by non_Spanish schollars, and even no Hispanic ones such us Lummis (US), Arnoldsson (Swiss) or Payne, Kamen (England), Prescott (US), Gullo (Argentina). These include historians, and political scientists, not just writters.

Elvira Roca: "many students ask me how was possible that all that wonderful Empire felt down and collapsed in very short time, and I always try to explain to them that the real miracle was to mantain that enormous Empire along 300 years". The french envy is legendary, they are very clever but, at the same time, they are not able to explain how they couldn't build and Empire being as wonderful and intelligent as they are. The myth of Black Legend made by dutch and english was a mere political propaganda...which unfortunately for Spain and Southamerica still remains to these days

Well said

On point!

For what exactly? The Black Legend is a well-documented fact in history that still exists to this day, but Alec Ryrie denies it while keeps perpetuating anti-Spanish and anti-Catholic political propaganda. He's a fraud.

Anyone interested in witches knows that the book on identifying witches was written by a german.

Very true, the french inquisition also was worst in some aspects. The britts are a kind of cruel with us, );

Ya but Spain gets more of the press

How do you caluclate it was worse?

@@shakiMiki the French in one single day where responsible for the dead of almost ten times the Spanish Inquisition in 300 years , the day was August 24-25 1572 The night of Bartolommeo.

i know french put women and children in ovens

This should be the real meme

And therefore even the holy holocaust story must be debatable and be questionable, and not be accepted automatically as a 100% true story, because much of it could be propaganda. Yet, Ryrie only mentions "the holocaust denier", so he is as much subjective and politically correct as a historian as anyone else.

I can feel not only his passion and expertise on the subject, but I can feel his enthusiasm for wanting us (the “students”) to really understand the complexities of the time and want us to feel immersed in that era. I am riveted to my seat during his lectures ❤️

Go read my post this Professor left out a whole bunch of history.

There are many books which DEMOSTRATE otherwise. The "insecure" Tudors created a great empire, manwhile the Spanish monarchy descended into decadence and backwardness. The Spanish intolerance and fanatism was not only demonstrated in their Inquisition, but also in the religious wars, the forced conversions of the American indians and the expelling of an entire nation from Spain because of ther faith.

The Tudors had no Empire when Elizabeth I died. England really rose to power in 1815. Please check the historical record

@@ricardolado7446 Maybe the SPANSIH "historical" records. The rest of the world knows better. England began to colonize América at the end of the 16th century. Thus, beginning an empire. Not the hegemonic empire, but an empire. British became the hegemonic empire in the 19th century, but that is another thing. And meanwhile the Spanish empire did not began through their own efforts, but only through a marriage, meaning through the bed of the son of an emperor, England made its empire through their own effort. And meanwhile Spain is now a second rate country, England is a world power. It's ridiculous and childish to make those kinds of comparisons.

@@herrero4270 spain a second rate country and england a super power... Is this a childish and ridiculous comparison?

That's a lot of yapping for a Mestizo

The English have a monopoly on genocide?

One genocide does not exculpate another.

Greg K And your reply doesn’t answer mine.

There was no genocide. At least in the case of Spain and the Jews. Or in the case of Spain in general. Spain NEVER commited genocide. Period.

@@AnexoRialto Spain expelled the Jews who did not convert to Catholicism. In fact, a few years ago, the descendants of those expelled Jews (those who have been able to demonstrate that they are descendants and who have decided to acquire it) were granted Spanish nationality. Spain expelled in order to create a country with a single religion, so it was given the option to stay and the one who left took all the belongings, except those that could not. The purpose of England was to seize the wealth of these. Genocide is systematic extermination. Current Latin America: it is mestizo and in some countries they are mostly indigenous. Therefore, there was no genocide. If we look at the US, the few indigenous people that remain are on reservations, clearly what happened there was genocide.

Hence the word Marrano? What about the Pig?

I know you are not trying to connect the word Marrano with Moor. 1st of all the word Moor is an English word. Los Moros o Moriscos are or come from Mauritania. The Jews not the Moors were called Marranos, please don’t get that twisted. A Marrano means PIG! Till this day it means PIG. The Sefardim were hated so bad by the Christians that they fed the prisoners pork! And were called a disgrace, and Marrano that only deserved scraps. And btw, they were given pork as well as they were held imprisoned without food and would only give them Pork “Marrano” to test their faith, as to why many died of starvation.....and here we are 2024 giving in to Christianity as if The Most High didn’t tell us HE IS ONE and there is NO ONE ELSE BUT HIm his equal.

And no they were not they were Ishmaelites. The Muslim of Spain were descendent of Ishmael and knew that the “jews” of Spain were their cousins. Please stop making up stories. They spoke the language as well. Many converted as well, many came into South Central America as well. Hispanic people still carry on many cultural aspects our ancestors brought back from Spain’ Our ancestors spoke the Hebrew and the Galician with over 5000 words of Arab derived words that we Hispanic people still use till this day. They spoke ladino which is a,mixture Hebrew and Spanish. Same as the Spanish Arab, their Arab had many of the Galician “Spanish” in it. No matter how much people will deny their s a history trail.......and so much paper trail. But we ain’t out here wanting the light to shine on us. We know and what we do with that info is on our hand.

But Spain was defeated, their enemies became world powers to this very day, and the Spaniards are those pretending to be as great as ever through their marketing, when in fact they are now a second rate country.

What was exaggerated about the Twin Towers official death toll?

@@arnoldconrad744 Early estimates were around 10,000 and this was reported uncritically in the news.

@@thumper8684 It was base on an assessment of building maximum occupancy and capacity and the time of the attacks - being that at the time of the attacks it was assumed many people would already be at work. The estimates didn't account for evacuation as it wasn't known how effective they had been. The estimates were always saying 'could be as high as'... Whereas the Grenfell estimates were never properly understood as many of the flats had multiple occupancy and estimating how many families were in residence at the time of the fire was next to impossible. Unlike the controlled access to the Twin Towers and workers roll calls, estimating the occupancy of a residential building without controlled access and roll-calls is always going to be a guess. There was no agenda behind either estimates and to suggest otherwise seems a little mischievous.

@@johnsmith-mv8hq So you are saying that the estimates of the casualties were based on capacity because that was a natural assumption based on the time of day. Grenfell Tower was a block of flats and the fire occured at 3 AM. It is safe to say it was at peak capacity. The mis-estimate of deaths in the Twin Towers attack was five times the actual numbers. The estimate of the casualties was a fraction of the true number. There were informal estimates at the time from first responders at Grenfell that were closer to the true figure. This is evident from interviews with people people involved, albeit not directly from the first responders. Why do you see my comment as mischevous? I have a point of view. The BBC is a large organisation with a complex of motivations that can be contradictory. The mandate of balanced journalism is not really definable and they tend towards a policy of appeasement. There is a bias in who they feel they need to appease. I also think there is a party political and class bias which has gotten ridiculous in the last decade, but that is not the argument I was wanting to make.

@@thumper8684 I saw your remark as mischievous in that, I believed, it insinuated a bias of BBC reporting where errors might just be that: human error. No agenda need be behind a mistake. There appears to be an increasing tendency in any discourse these days to ascribing some deeper socio-political structural or ideological posture to any situation where none need exist. To suggest the BBC erred with covering Grenfell from 'slippery' standards led me to that conclusion. My suggestion that Grenfell's occupancy figures may be mistaken is simply that it would have been easy to calculate the estimated population from making assumptions about occupancy per bedroom. But that would, of course, lead to errors as there's clearly going be a heterogeneous population of occupancy given differing social circumstances of each resident. Buildings are designed with emergency evacuation in mind and this limits population capacity. Grenfell was erected in 1967 - predating many of later fire 'means of escape' regulations introduced for fire safety in the early 1970's; but which emerged from studies and hard practical lessons learned from the mid-1940s in the UK onwards. Ironically, it the earlier attack on the Twin Towers in 1993 that helped mislead estimates. The Twin Towers were notorious for poor design in terms of 'means of escape' and the experience of 1993 and people also assuming max capacity so early in the day only confused matters. When the 1993 bomb went off 50,000 people had to be evacuated from the WTC estate. This was clearly on people's minds on 9/11. I know they were on mine. Making a heuristic calculation 'on the fly' has little to do with proper standards of journalism. Could the BBC have fact checked? Perhaps. But they weren't the only news gathering organisation there or covering the event. Perhaps I misinterpreted your remark. If so, I am sorry and can only ascribe this to the blunt instrument of RU-vid commentary lacking nuance of tone and delivery. This goes to my point (and your own additional comment and explanation) about your remark being seen as mischievous - raising the issue of BBC coverage was unhelpful. They weren't alone in making errors of estimation. Singling them out as they are the legally ordained public broadcaster suggested to me (incorrectly, it seems!) that you'd fallen into the trap of seeing the BBC as the mouth-piece for HMG. When the typical situation is often, as you say, that the BBC is at odds with the government in power at any single time and has to dance around very carefully indeed to maintain it's neutrality. As you point out, if anyone in the UK were reading the newspapers from either side of the political spectrum they could easily conclude that the BBC was simultaneously basically the Tory Party and a hotbed of Soviet-era sedition. Both arguments do often get made in various newspapers. :/ First responders to Grenfell almost certainly had better information about the population of the building from both their experience of the local situation and from inspections. I understand that Grenfell had been inspected twice in the months prior to the tragic fire. Doubtless this played a part in fire crews understanding the building much more than had it not been inspected. That the building failed each inspection and remedial efforts weren't undertaken to improve matters shines no glory on the local authority. :/ That the BBC and others did not know any of that at the time seems just to be the ordinary run of things - thus they had to make poor estimates. Sadly, journalists aren't omniscient.

Any information on the 100,000-150,000 women killed by Swiss Calvinist protestants as supposed witches?

Neither Jews nor Muslims were prosecuted, firstly because by the time of Inquisition they had been expelled from Iberian peninsula, and secondly because Inquisition was meant to prevent and punish Catholic heresies. This is why conversos (former muslims and jews converted to Catholicism) fell under special survey.

Muslims who refused to convert to Christianity were expelled from Spain. They were not pursued by the inquisition, because they were not in the country. Spain is almost unique in successfully eradicating Islam despite much of it being governed by Islamic powers for centuries.

Atrocities committed in Belgium not by. Belgium wasn't invaded in the franco prussian war of 1870/71. It was during ww1.

The 'Belgian atrocities' in the Congo were between 1885 and 1914: the German atrocities in Belgium [ and northern France ] were in 1914-1918 and included mass deportations for forced labour in Germany.

👍🏽

The Inquisition could actually use torture, but only in very specific situations, and there were only 3 different ways fo torture, non could include bleeding not perpetual damage. It was, as in Portugal, in the later stages of investigations, only in around 5% of the cases. And I am not sure about who actually carried out the torture, but it was most probably a state officer, though the Inquisition had some lawyers supervising everything, since the torture methods used by the Insquisition were far more restricted than those of the secular tribunals. They had to make sure the torture was no longer than 15 minutes, and that it was not applied twice, that there was no bleeding, etc. So I guess they did intervene somehow in the process.

You are confused. The torture was CONDUCTED by the Inquisition everywhere, but EXECUTED by the secular arm. The inquisitors were present during the torture, made the interrogatories and gave orders to the torturers, but didn't touch the corpses of the convicts. The inquisitors were hypocrites with double standards, so they can blame others of those actions.

@@herrero4270 what corpses idiots.. did you miss the part where it says torture couldnt not cause permanent damage nor bleeding?.
