History The Spanish Inquisition Questions
The artisans in the Spanish Inquisition did not have specific roles within the institution. The Inquisition primarily targeted individuals suspected of heresy, including Jews, Muslims, and conversos (Jewish converts to Christianity). Artisans, like other members of society, could be accused and investigated if they were suspected of practicing a different religion or engaging in heretical activities. However, their occupation as artisans did not inherently assign them any specific roles or responsibilities within the Inquisition itself.
