This comprehensive study goes beyond the lore surrounding Isabella and Ferdinand and their popular depiction as the harbingers and principal movers behind Spain's Golden Age and analyzes the political and social conditions on the Iberian Peninsula that made their ascension to the throne possible. It also discusses the achievements of the Catholic monarchs after they assumed the reigns of authority: the creation of the instruments of power, the first steps of Spanish expansion in Europe and abroad, and the limits of their work and power. "Este estudio comprensivo va mas alla de la tradicion popular que rodea los personajes de Isabel y Fernando y su representacion como los heraldos y promotores principales del Siglo de Oro y analiza las condiciones politicas y sociales de la Peninsula que les permitieron instalarse en el trono. Tambien discute los logros de los Reyes Catolicos despues de haber asumido la autoridad: la creacion de los instrumentos del poder, los primeros pasos de la expansion espanola en Europa y en el mundo y los limites de su obra y su reino."
