Isabella, who was the reigning queen of Castle (was married to Ferdinand, the lesser king of Aragon) was the one to fund Columbus on his voyage across the Atlantic. She did so by supplying him with several ships she, as queen owned, and to benefit Spain. Specfically,she hoped that Columbus' dreams of bringing hhe riches from the East to Spain would enrich her kingdom. Moreover, she was a devout Catholic who hoped to win Eastern souls to Christianity.
