See also:ISABELLA (1451-15o4) , surnamed la Catolica, " the See also:Catholic," See also:queen of See also:Castile, was the second See also:child and only daughter of See also:John II. of Castile by his second wife Isabella, granddaughter of John I. of See also:Portugal (thus being through both parents a descendant of John of Gaunt), and was See also:born at See also:Madrigal on the 22nd of See also:April 1451.

ducted in the deepest seclusion; in 1462, however, along with her uterine brother See also:Alphonso, she was removed by Henry to the See also:court, where she showed a remarkable example of staidness and sobriety. Already more than one suitor had made application for her See also:hand, See also:Ferdinand of See also:Aragon, who ultimately became her See also:husband, being among the number; for some little, See also:- TIME (0.

time she was engaged to his See also:elder brother See also:Charles, who died in 1461. In her thirteenth See also:year her brother promised her in See also:marriage to Alphonso of Portugal, but she firmly refused to consent; her resistance seemed less likely to be effectual in the See also:case of Pedro Giron, See also:grand See also:master of the See also:- ORDER

order of Calatrava and brother of the See also:marquis of See also:Villena, to whom she was next affianced, when she was delivered from her fears by the sudden death of the bridegroom while on his way to the nuptials in 1466. After an offer of the See also:crown of Castile, made by the revolutionary leaders in the See also:civil See also:war, had been declined by her, she was in 1468 formally recognized by her brother as lawful See also:heir, after himself, to the See also:united crowns of Castile and See also:Leon. New candidates for her hand now appeared in the persons of a brother of See also:Edward IV. of See also:England (probably See also:Richard, See also:duke of See also:Gloucester), and the duke of See also:Guienne, brother of See also:- LOUIS

Finally however, in See also:face of very See also:great difficulties, she was married to Ferdinand of Aragon at See also:Valladolid on the r9th of See also:October 1469. Thence forward the fortunes of Ferdinand and Isabella were inseparably blended. For some time they held a humble court at Duenas, and after-wards they resided at See also:Segovia, where, on the death of Henry, she
was proclaimed queen of Castile and Leon (See also:December 13, 1474). See also:Spain undoubtedly owed to Isabella's clear See also:intellect, resolute
See also:energy and unselfish patriotism much of that greatness which for the first time it acquired under " the Catholic sovereigns." The moral See also:influence of the queen's See also:personal See also:character over the Castilian court was incalculably great; from the debasement and degradation of the preceding reign she raised it to being " the nursery of virtue and of generous ambition." She did much for letters in Spain by See also:founding the See also:palace school and by her See also:protection of See also:- PETER
