Abstract	:	The objective for the establishment of the Spanish Inquisition is commonly thought to have been to rid the Catholic Church of heresy. This paper establishes that the main objectives of the Spanish monarchy in establishing the Inquisition were to cleanse Spain of Semitic influences, exert social control over the non-Christian population, and extract financial resources from its victims. In the course of arriving at these conclusions, this paper discusses the roots of anti-Semitism in Europe and the Middle East, and the relationship between the Jews, Christians and Muslims in Spain during the medieval period, and will examine the finances of the Inquisition and the Spanish Monarchy in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. This paper focuses on the events of the first fifty years of the Spanish Inquisition, a time during which Jewish converts to Christianity were heavily targeted by the Inquisition.
