    by the way:

    How do you improve your piety/faith-rating of your generals? I tried with good relations to the pope, I let my generals and kings in cities with cathedrals and I send them in cities which are building church buildings, but they never improve their ininitial piety-rating... hmpf!

    Patch 1.2 should introduce settings that prevent inquisitors from baking your leader or heir to a crisp well done.

    Realistically Inquisitors had no power to condem you to death and they certainly couldn't attack high ranking members of the aristocracy without some pretty strong prrof.

    This has already been discussed a fair deal and the new patch will fix things

    Just remember that the inquisition fried almost the entire knights templar... Including the grand master, who had as much power as most kings.

    The Templars were actually fried because a King indebted to them asked the inquisition nicely...

    More precisely, he pulled the Pope's strings to have the Templar inquisition sanctioned. The accepted reasoning he did this was as you stated, he was A> deeply in debt to them and B> saw how much they were worth anyway. A distant second reason would be that he feared their growing power based.

    Yup, inquisitions was a political tool... And as it was used against the templars, it is reasonable that it could have been used against a king.
