Lucas is arrested for witchcraft in the name of the King and on behalf of the Inquisition. His unbaptized slave has practiced innocent magic and his estranged mistress has fabricated evidence. He once saw a man racked. He is in danger of being burned. He orders the slave to confess to anything to avoid torture. A Dominican represents the Inquisition here as in the alpha timeline in The Shield Of Time.
We, or at least I, can only say what a dreadful regime and how good it is that it is now centuries in the past.
