tortures names were foot roasting, garrucha, and suffocation. Pope Sixtus the 4th made him Grand Inquisitor. During his reign there were about 2,000 burnings at the stake. Torquenada’s hate for people that didn’t support Christianity resulted in Ferdidnand and Isabella shunning the Jews.

He often boiled, skinned blinded, strangled, burned, hacked, and roasted people. He also enjoyed cutting off the noises, ears, and sexual organs of his victims. Vlad also looked at the poor as being thieves. None of his victims survived.
