Due process survived and could even curb the Inquisition in Aragon

Evidence

The Inquisitors were wily. They did not arrest Ari˜no (at least not then and there, they waited a few months), so the fueristas were denied their opportunity to summon enraged Aragonese patriots to their aid. But neither did the Inquisitors hand their prisoners over: the lawyers could not actually establish where the poor Moriscos were being detained, so the writ could not be executed. The procurators waited around with their writ till nightfall, and then had to go back home! — L. P. Harvey, Muslims in Spain, 1500 to 1614, 574 (#complicates, via linked claim)
