However, by the end of the 15^th century this situation had changed completely: after a long and difficult cultural struggle, religious tolerance was officially revoked with the establishment of the Inquisition and the expulsion of Jews and Muslims from Christian Spain. This class will trace the trajectory of medieval Iberian history from the time of the Visigoths to the time of the Inquisition.
