First Spanish inquisitor-general (10)

I believe the answer is:

torquemada

(Other definitions for torquemada that I've seen before include "Grand Inquisitor, involved in the expulsion of Jews from Spain" , "Spanish Inquisition chief" , "Inquisitive leader" , "Old interrogator" , "torturer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
