Queen Isabella Of Castile

Queen Isabella of Castile played an important role in history. She was the one who sent Christopher Colombus on his journey to “discover the new world” in 1492. The Queen is best known for her role in purifying the Roman Catholic faith during her time and for her fairness while ruling. Queen Isabella married Ferdinand II when she was only 18 years old, though this age wasn’t considered particularly young at that time. Her modern day portrait makes her appear even younger, with fair features and soft eyes that make her appear less world-wise than she probably was.
