The shitty thing about European History is most of what we know was written by the British, who , much like Heroditus, pulled entire wars out of his ass for the explicit purpose of making foreigners look bad. The Tulip bubble didn't really happen. Neither did The Spanish Inquisition (at least as something more noteworthy in Spain than in Italy, France, England or most of the rest of Europe).
