The first Inquisitor General of the Spanish Inquisition, Tomás de Torquemada, was prior of the Santa Cruz la Real Monastery in Seville . He kept this office during his work as Inquisitor General. Most of his successors were bishops or archbishops. Ten inquisitors general were or became cardinals. One was elected Pope. Some inquisitors general held other state offices at the same time. 16 general inquisitors were removed from office or resigned.
