Left fatherless at an early age, distanced from the royal court and later pushed away by her mother, Isabella was disinherited at the age of 17 for marrying a suitor of her liking: Ferdinand II of Aragon. Isabella later fought Joanna la Beltraneja to win the throne of Castile and later took control of Granada and backed the dreams of Christopher Columbus despite the voices of dissent voices from her husband and the Castilian royal court, and committed her children to strategic marriages that only brought them death and unhappiness.
Discover the thrilling and intense life of the ruler who governed Medieval Spain with an iron hand.
