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. 00:00:15
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. 00:00:34
Isabella and her husband, Ferdinand II, established the Spanish Inquisition 00:00:38
to ensure that Jews and Muslims who had converted to Christianity were keeping to their new faith. 00:00:42
She also commanded that the Jews and Muslims in Spain that refused to convert to Christianity were exiled. 00:00:47
Whether she purposely intended to influence the famous Monty Python sketch or not is still up for debate. 00:00:53
Fact number three. She was the first woman on a US coin. 00:00:58
In 1893, 400 years after Columbus's fateful voyage, 00:01:02
a coin was issued in the United States that featured Isabella's image. 00:01:06
That same year, she also became the first woman featured on a commemorative US postage stamp 00:01:10
when she was featured alongside Columbus on the Eight Cents stamp. 00:01:14
Fact number four, she had a famous daughter. 00:01:19
Of her five children, only three outlived Isabella, 00:01:22
one of which was Joanna, nicknamed Joanna the Mad for her mental instability. 00:01:25
Another daughter, Catherine of Aragon, went on to become the first wife of Henry VIII, 00:01:29
making Isabella the grandmother of Mary the First of England. 00:01:34
Fact 5. She was a mature student. 00:01:39
Isabella championed education, making sure both her sons and daughters received a full education. 00:01:41
She also set up many educational institutions and amassed a large art collection. 00:01:47
Widely read, Isabella continued her own studies well into adulthood, 00:01:51
and learned Latin when she was 35 years old. 00:01:55
But that's not that impressive. I can speak it, and I'm only 24. 00:01:58
Ergo sum loquentis ineptus. 00:02:01
