The legal hearings for those accused of heresy were called Inquisitions, specifically initiated by the Catholic Church to maintain doctrinal authority. These inquisitions often used torture and resulted in severe penalties for those found guilty. The most notable example is the Spanish Inquisition, which began in the late 15th century.
