This is my opportunity to ruin the fun and mention that everyone expected the Spanish Inquisition, as they were very legalistic, notifying the target of a inquiry at least 30 days before the beginning of that inquiry. The trope of a evil and sudden Spanish Inquisition is a remnant of Protestant British propaganda against Catholic Spain, funnily immortalized through Monty Python. Sadly with little truth to it.
