The Spanish Government of Fernando and Isabella- Let"s get it right Fernando is a good , Kingly Spanish name! By the way the popular idea that Queen Isabella sold her jewels to finance the expedition is a myth. The Crown Jewels were and are State Property! She could not more have made such as Non-royal nosedive sacrifice than, say, Bush could sell the White House! Government property- you know Nobless Oblige- Nobility obliges, it works both ways-(supposedly to a higher standard for the higher-ups) but the popular usage is like Sgt. Bilko- Rank hath its privileges- in other words live it up if you have the pull on your sleeve (or Crown).
