During Christopher Columbus's time, the King and Queen of Spain were Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. They united their respective kingdoms through marriage in 1469 and sponsored Columbus's 1492 expedition, which led to the discovery of the Americas. Their support was pivotal in establishing Spain as a dominant global power during the Age of Exploration.
