Description
A detailed and comprehensive biography of Spain's most famous queen, Isabella of Spain, is presented in this new edition. Based on original sources, including her own writings, the book provides a thorough background of her life, from her parents and birth to her marriage and later events that shaped Western Europe. The story unfolds through three significant periods: the Reconquista of Spain, the expulsion of the Jews, and the voyages of Christopher Columbus. These pivotal moments not only defined Isabella's destiny but also had far-reaching consequences for Western Europe. The book concludes with an account of her decline and death, offering a nuanced and humanizing portrayal of this remarkable figure. This edition has been completely reset, featuring new illustrations and appendices that enhance the reader's understanding of Isabella's life and times.
