Inquisition

This series sheds new light on a dark and bloody chapter of British and European history. We'll hear tales that chill the blood; watch in horror as flames lick around the Marian martyrs and other men of high religion and unshakable beliefs and see ordinary, innocent people fall victim to religious fanatics and psychopaths. From the persecution of religions and faiths, to the hunt for the mysterious Cathars and the Knights Templar, through to the torture and execution of witches, mystics and healers, these programmes chronicle wicked deeds done in the name of faith.
