Description
Los Reyes Católicos, Isabel I de Castilla and Fernando II de Aragón, left an enduring legacy as the founders of modern Spain and the origin of one of the most brilliant periods in our history.
In 15th-century Europe, they brought together a divided country and strengthened it into a great power governed by an authoritarian monarchy. By skillfully harnessing the military prowess of their nobility and leveraging its support for the Crown's ventures, they laid the foundations for the Habsburg Empire, expanding Spain's dominions across Africa, America, and Europe.
This book offers a fascinating account of the reign of these two monarchs, exploring the pragmatism that guided their politics and the complex interplay of power, unity, and influence that shaped their era. Juan Eslava Galán provides an engaging narrative, shedding light on the pivotal role played by Isabel I and Fernando II in shaping Spain's and Europe's history.
