The post The Inquisition in 15 minutes first appeared on History Lab.

]]> In this 15-minute educational video produced by Academia Play, the Visual Thinking technique is used to explain the importance of the Spanish Inquisition or Tribunal of the Holy Office created in 1478 by the Catholic Monarchs. The video focuses on disproving misinformation through a series of contrasted references about the origin, purpose and way of acting. The description of the video states: “In this video we are going to talk about the Inquisition, and above all we are going to focus on the Spanish Inquisition. When we hear the word inquisition we immediately think of death, torture, fanaticism, intolerance, control and fear…. These characteristics undoubtedly existed and that is why this phenomenon has tended to be explained from a somewhat sensationalist and often distorted point of view. In this video we are going to refute a series of commonly accepted clichés, most of the time due to the bombardment of erroneous information. At the end of the video we will include a small bibliography for those who want to approach this subject from a rigorous approach. We have been advised by Don César Cervera Moreno”.

]]> The European colonisers trafficked millions of slaves captured mainly in Africa in order to use them as labour for numerous activities. In this way, thousands and thousands of people were transported to various regions of the planet, as we know well in the case of the American continent. This resource provides access to a large database called the “Transatlantic Slave Trade Database”, which contains an immense amount of information on the development of slavery from the 16th century to the end of the 19th century. It is a project supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities (United States) and is the result of the efforts of scholars from different institutions, including historians, cartographers and slave trade specialists and researchers. The database itself is divided into various fields such as timelines, maps, 3D videos, essays and estimates and a detailed image bank.

The 16th century is the century of the chapel’s fullness, where the sobriety of the building is highlighted. Under Emperor Charles I it continued to flourish with all kinds of decorations. Today, the mark left by Queen Isabella, in a certain sense, marks the large number of visits that take place every year.
