The Inquisition

Season 1 Episode 1: The Perfect Inquisitor

In the 13th century, the Church established the Inquisition to persecute those who held dissenting beliefs. Groups such as the Cathars and Waldensians were branded heretics and were arrested and executed. The system soon professionalised, with covert investigations, witness interviews, confessions used as evidence and extensive archives; a system of surveillance whose methods continue to have an impact to this day.
