Spanish Inquisition founder, unifying force of Spain, and defender of the Catholic faith,
00:00:00
here are five facts about Isabella of Castile.
00:00:05
Fact number one, she helped discover America.
00:00:09
It was with Isabella's backing that Christopher Columbus was able to afford his voyage to the New World.
00:00:19
Not only did this bring wealth to Spain, but the lands discovered were now owned by Castile.
00:00:24
When the Native Americans were brought back as slaves, Isabella demanded they be set free.
00:00:29
Fact number two. She created the Spanish Inquisition. Isabella and her husband, Ferdinand II,
00:00:33
established the Spanish Inquisition to ensure that Jews and Muslims who had converted to
00:00:40
Christianity were keeping to their new faith. She also commanded that the Jews and Muslims in Spain
00:00:44
that refused to convert to Christianity were exiled. Whether she purposely intended to influence
00:00:50
the famous Monty Python sketch or not is still up for debate. Fact number three. She was the first
00:00:55
woman on a U.S. coin. In 1893, 400 years after Columbus's fateful voyage, a coin was issued
00:01:00
in the United States that featured Isabella's image. That same year, she also became the
00:01:07
first woman featured on a commemorative U.S. postage stamp when she was featured alongside
00:01:11
Columbus on the 8-cent stamp. Fact number four, she had a famous daughter. Of her five
00:01:16
children, only three outlived Isabella, one of which was Joanna, nicknamed Joanna the
00:01:22
mad for her mental instability. Another daughter, Catherine of Aragon, went on to become the
00:01:27
first wife of Henry VIII, making Isabella the grandmother of Mary I of England.
00:01:32
Fact 5. She was a mature student. Isabella championed education, making sure both her
00:01:39
sons and daughters received a full education. She also set up many educational institutions
00:01:44
and amassed a large art collection. Widely read, Isabella continued her own studies well
00:01:49
into adulthood and learned Latin when she was 35 years old. But that's not that impressive,
00:01:54
I can speak it and I'm only 24. Ergo sum loquentis ineptus.
00:01:59
