Wikipedia's Spanish Inquisition and Abolition of the Spanish Inquisition articles, both read directly for this pass, giving the full sequence: authorized by Pope Sixtus IV in 1478, first inquisitors appointed 1480; abolished by Napoleon's Decrees of Chamartin on 4 December 1808, with the Cortes of Cadiz separately decreeing its suppression on 28 February 1813; restored by King Ferdinand VII on 21 July 1814 alongside the whole Ancien Regime; abolished again on 9 March 1820 following the Riego uprising's success; not re-established even after Ferdinand's absolutist restoration in October 1823, dioceses instead running Juntas de Fe; and finally, formally ended by a Royal Decree of the regent Maria Christina on 15 July 1834.
