Portuguese Inquisition
The
Portuguese Inquisition
(
Portuguese
:
Inquisição Portuguesa
) was formally established in
Portugal
in 1536 at the request of its
king
,
John III
.
Manuel I
had asked for the installation of the
Inquisition
in 1515 to fulfill the commitment of marriage with
Maria of Aragon
, but it was only after his death that
Pope Paul III
acquiesced. In the period after the
Medieval Inquisition
, it was one of three different manifestations of the wider Christian Inquisition along with the
Spanish Inquisition
and
Roman Inquisition
.
