Talk:Tomás de Torquemada/@comment-1509826-20131208180506

From what I've read Torquemada was actuatly responsible for reforming the Inquisition so it provided a much fairer servince to the accused, such as making it one of the first tribunals that required concrete evidence and witnesses for a exercution to take place. He simply made a extreme service more fair.

But like the actual Spanish Inquisation, Torquemada suffered at histories hands, because most of what we know about him were written by enemies of Spain and Catholicism who were happy to portray them as sadistic and xenephobic monsters.
