Résumé
In 1474, a twenty-three year old woman ascended the throne of Castile, the largest and strongest kingdom in Spain. She faced the challenge of reforming a major European kingdom that was riddled with crime, corruption, and violent political factionism. Her… marriage to Ferdinand of Aragon was crucial to her success, bringing together two kingdoms. Her pivotal reign was long and transformative, uniting Spain and setting the stage for its golden era of global dominance. By the time of her death in 1504, Isabella had laid the foundations not just of modern Spain, but of one of the world's greatest empires. 2017.
