Best Answer

Queen Isabella United Spain by marrying King Ferdinand. She also funded some of the voyages that led to the growth of a wealthy empire for Spain.
She sponsored Columbus's journey, married King Ferdinand of Castile, and she and Ferdinand started the Spanish Inquisition, getting rid of Muslims, Jews, and non-Christians. The Muslim kingdom of Granada fell to Isabella and Ferdinand, thus completing the Reconquista. She was engaged to many men, and she had 6 children.

Hope that helps!

Isabella thought of herself as a Renaissance Queen and did accompany the Armies in the field, like horses, especially Palominos. ( they are called ysabellas in her honor in Spanish-speaking countries) she also wore armor as a crowned female knight- yes a Queen in Armor- look at the effigy on her tomb ( she did not die in the field, thank God but of natural causes_. Isabella also founded the first ( and horse drawn) ambulance corps in the Spanish Army- a humanitarian advance. Horse-drawn ambulances accompanied the troops and would have been stacked in the organization along with supply or logistics wagons- There was a fine article about the (Queen behind Columbus) years back in the Reader"s Digest and the facts checked out. by the way she did not sell her Royal Jewels to back Columbus- these were state property- could not be sold.
