polutropeBehold my introduction for my Spanish Inquisition paper:
O Clio, as is proper I begin with you – tell me now of the causes of the Spanish Inquisition, and lay bear to me the hearts of those men who supported it. Whence came the hatred of the men of Iberia for Abraham’s race? But this hatred has been increased in its importance by the men who came after, those who told the tale; for the sons of Canaan were not the only men to incur the rage of the red-clad Spaniards: those of the race of Charlemagne who ventured past their borders were slain too. What, o muse, was the cause of this strife and hatred?
