Many people have heard of Queen Isabella of Spain who changed Spain and the New World. Although many people see Queen Isabella as a bad, evil and ignorant person, she forever changed history by fighting for the power of the Kingdom with her brother and fighting the Muslim Moors to return Spain to Catholic power. Although his marriage was difficult, it united the two kingdoms of Spain, which had previously been separated. He was also the person behind the voyage of Christopher Columbus and much more that influenced the world of history. At the age of 6 she had decided to marry Ferdinand, son of John II of Narve. This marriage would show the alliance of the two kingdoms of Spain that people would see all over the world. After the marriage was annulled several times due to disagreements with the kingdoms, the marriage took place on October 19, 1469. They were second cousins ​​and therefore their marriage would not have been legal unless they obtained dispensation from the Pope. A year later they obtained dispensation from the Pope and were soon legally married. The beginning of Isabella and Ferdinand's reign did not go well because she annoyed her and people thought that Henry IV's daughter should be queen. . Soon Queen Isabella entered battle, the Battle of Toro. This battle was for the throne with Juana. The Battle of Toro was a great victory for Spanish politics and how the Catholic Monarchs would change it. In my book Isabel: Jewel of Castilla, Spain 1466 it says. “Both armies faced each other in the camps of Toro, resulting in an indecisive battle. But while the Portuguese king reorganized his troops, Ferdinand sent news to all the cities of Castile and several foreign kingdoms informing them of a huge victory where the... middle of paper... atolic. He contributed to the world's most famous voyage to the New World. She also made Spain reform its government and she would not have been able to do so without her husband's help because they united Spain and changed the laws. He also reconquered Granada from the Muslims in a historical moment that had taken over Spain. This is why Queen Isabella is important to the story. Without her we would not have been able to spread Christianity in Europe; the Muslims would take over. Queen Isabella is a great inspiration for the power of women. Even though she was seen as a mean woman for driving out all the Jews and Muslims. It helped the world of Christianity expand. This is why Queen Isabella is very important to the world of history.
