Isabella of Spain - a great woman and a great queenβ¦
Through her marriage with Ferdinand of Aragon, Isabella of Castile united their neighbouring countries to form the kingdom of Spain. It is through Isabella's own eyes that we experience the towering events of her day. The harsh world of European politics with its brilliant intrigue, magnificent personalities, danger and excitement is contrasted with the poverty of the peasants, the cruelty of the Inquisition and the massive discomforts of everyday life in fifteenth-century Europe. But through it all we discover the fascinating character of Isabella herself- a queen with the mind of a statesman, the courage of a soldier and the tender feelings of a passionate woman.
