The Spanish Inquisition, like such other important innovations of Ferdinand and Isabella as the Santa Hermandad or the corregidores, was born in Castile. The chroniclers of the Catholic monarchs, whether Old Christians like Bernaldez, conversos like Pulgar, or Aragonese like Zurita, all agreed on this point. Indeed, a careful search uncovers signs that Castilian prelates and noblemen had proposed a concordia with Isabella's predecessor Henry IV,” the Liberal,” enabling the king to sponsor the pursuit of converso heretics, and to confiscate their property, as early as 1464–65. Early in Isabella's reign, before any bulls had been sought in Rome to create an Inquisition under royal control, the episcopal vicar at Llerena burned two Judaizers alive for heresy, penanced two women and ordered their house destroyed.
