Plaidy, Jean
End of the Spanish Inquisition, The
Paperback
1978, Star
Condition: very good
The final volume of Jean Plaidy's magnificent trilogy on the Spanish Inquisition traces the tyrannous reign of Philip II, the accession of the Bourbons and the subsequent dawning of a new era of enlightenment. Under Philip II, the dreaded Inquisition flourished. His most fervent desire was to extend the merciless persecution of heretics to all his dominions. The toll was terrible. Where men clung steadfastly to their beliefs, they were tortured, burnt, buried alive. Then the coming of the Bourbons brought a new stability, an atmosphere abhorring bigotry. At last the Inquisition which had brought so much misery to so many was over.

Plaidy, Jean
Growth of the Spanish Inquisition, The
Paperback
1978, Star
Condition: very good
The second volume of Jean Plaidy's compelling trilogy on the Spanish Inquisition charts the life of a man more powerful and more merciless even than Tomas de Torquemada, father of the Inquisition: Ximenes. Ximenes was an ascetic, a stern man of God who had scourged his own flesh and had no sympathy for the suffering of others. When Isabella made him Archbishop of Toledo and Primate of Spain in 1495, the way was clear for him to call his bigotry virtue and persecute the Moors as Torquemada had persecuted the Jews, perpetrating hideous acts of inhumanity in the name of God. But when Isabella died and her mad daughter Juana became Queen of Castile, it was Ximenes who steered Spain through a time of crisis and uncertainty.

Plaidy, Jean
Rise of the Spanish Inquisition, The
Paperback
1978, Star
Condition: very good
Jean Plaidy, with all her novelist's perception and skill, tells the story of Ferdinand and Isabella, the monarchs who brought the Inquisition into Spain in the fifteenth century, and allowed it to flourish so hideously. Isabella was a pious and fervent Catholic who detested the corrupt decadence of her brother's court at Castille: when she came to power she was determined to stamp Spain irrevocably with the mark of her faith. The Inquisitors from Rome brought torture, humiliation and a fiery death to thousands - and swelled the coffers of the state with the confiscated riches of their victims. But when Isabella's confessor, the remorseless Tomas de Torquemada, became Inquisitor General, a new era of terror began, more extreme and more ruthless than all that had gone before.
