Isabella I of Castile, known as Isabella the Catholic, was the Queen of Castile and León from 1474 until her death in 1504. Together with her husband King Ferdinand II of Aragon, she reformed the government, reduced crime, cleared the kingdom’s debt, and played a key role in unifying Spain. Their rule saw the end of the Reconquista, the expulsion of Jews, the establishment of the Spanish Inquisition, support for Christopher Columbus’s journey to the New World, and the ascendance of Spain as a major European power during the Spanish Golden Age.
