A sweeping biography of one of the most influential monarchs ever known, Isabel the Queen brings us the life and times of the woman who, among many things, supported the Spanish Inquisition, expelled the Jews and then the Muslims, and sponsored the voyage of Christopher Columbus to the Americas in 1492. Drawing on a variety of sources--documents, chronicles, literature, art, and architecture--Peggy K. Liss provides insight into the mind of the Queen who had such a profound impact on history. We learn how she survived plots to disinherit her, why she secretly married Fernando, Prince of Aragon, and how Isabel assumed the crown alone, without Fernando, in order to pave the way for her daughter and other women to rule in their own right. Working through fact and fiction, legend and opinion, Liss brings to us a vivid portrait of the ruler who left her country with an imperial legacy of power and glory, and a vision of conquest that was to endure over the centuries.
