英语词汇torquemada的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Torquemada. More than 100,000 cases were tried and 1,000 people executed under the administration of Tomás de Torque- mada (ca. 1420–98) after the pope appointed him Spanish Grand Inquisitor in 1483. The harsh rules Torquemada devised and strictly enforced for the Inquisition, including the use of torture as a means of obtaining information, made the inquisitor-general’s name a synonym for a cruel persecutor or torturer. Torquemada particularly distrusted the Maranos and Moriscos, Jewish and Moorish converts to Catholicism, many of whom he felt were insincere, and he was partly responsible for the royal decree in 1492 which expelled 200,000 unconvert- ed Jews from Spain. One story, probably exaggerated, says that the hated grand inquisitor never traveled anywhere unless guarded by 250 armed retainers and 50 horsemen.
