(Isabel of Castile. (The illusion of a Kingdom called Spain)



Queen by chance, happened to Henry IV of Castile, "The Powerless", the death of his brother Alfonso (brother of Elizabeth) in early age due to the ingestion of herbs.The alleged daughter of Henry IV King of Castile then was called "The Beltraneja" by reason of being conceived as the gossips of the time for Beltran de la Cueva, a friend of King Henry IV and Queen Juana of Portugal , his wife and queen of Castile.

After several fights, disputes, deaths and other herbsElizabeth I was crowned Queen of Castile, with that name, in 1474 at the age of 24 years.We had married a los19 years with Ferdinand of Aragon, King of Sicily, who was two years younger than her.
Isabel's dream was to unite the Iberian Peninsula in asingle kingdom, which began the conquest of the lastbastion that the Arabs possessed then, Granada, gravidathat it took about 20 years to achieve.Legends of the time say that Queen Isabel promised not to change his shirt inside until you get into Granada .... something really little to be trusted.

Granada was conquered in 1492, the very same year that Christopher Columbus discovered the new land he believed were the Indies .... and not subsequently found a new continent was called America by the discoverer Amerigo Vespucci.At last Elizabeth's dreams were being fulfilled and it had to be necessary to bear five children.Most of them married first Elizabeth was the heir Portuguese, and to die this the remarried a cousin of the deceased heir named Manuel who was king of Portugal by the name of Manuel I "The Lucky".A child born of this union, but both the son and heir to his mother Elizabeth died soon after.
The result was that Portugal became part of the future kingdom that would be a shame ..... Spain.The son and heir of Isabel I and Ferdinand of Aragon, Juan was married to Margaret of Habsburg, but was so enamored of the poor prince Margarita died shortly so weary of amatory practice.

Margarita was pregnant when he died John, gave birth to aman ... could be the heir ... but soon sadly left this world much sooner than expected.When the heir dies John the realm of what would be going to Spain Isabel, then queen of Portugal, married to Manuel I "the Fortunate" and expecting a child this .... (of little lucky because he dies the wife and son), married yet another sister named Maria Isabel and reportedly was the only happy children of Ferdinand and Isabella .......This child that comes to be born with the name Michael but as I said before suddenly dies like his mother Queen Isabel of Portugal, can not complete the dream of her grandmother Isabella I of Castile, queen and what would Spain.Shame, Michael could have been King of Spain and Portugal joining the Iberian Peninsula into one kingdom.And who is to reign in Spain, as another princess by the name of Joan, second daughter of Kings Católicos....Isabel / Fernando.

Ana married Philip had "called the Beautiful" was the son of Emperor Maximilian I of Germany to effect.Great, Germany and the Kingdom of Spain could join in the figure of Philip I "Habsburg" King of Spain, ... and Germany's future if elected by the voters of that empire as such.Fatality or not know, but I also Philip dies, the legend says that after playing a ball game, be sweating and drinking a glass of cold water.What would the water, if we know that was a little kingsympathetic to Fernando, husband of Elizabeth I who haddied in 1504 and the husband had married again Fernando Germaine de Foix, and also she is expecting a child is born and then dies?.Ferdinand of Aragon, the widow, died in 1516 in Esñaña seeing his daughter Queen Juana called "Loca" ... greatsee a crazy daughter reigning in their domains.

Nominal Queen of CastilePhilip I of Castile ..... "The hemoso" and his wife Juana called "Loca" ...... with love for her husband Philip I

This Philip I, the Handsome, died in 1506 when he is King of Spain and inagurando the Habsburg dynasty (Habsburg Hispanicized).Elizabeth must have died almost worth, everyone was dying tohis eyes, his daughter, his son and heir, heir his grandson, the son of his daughter heir, and luckily did not see what happened to Felipe "The Beautiful" who died so suddenly perhaps aided by some herbs dissolved in water in order of who? ... his wife Juana mad with love.

The dynastic disaster was tremendous, the Kingdom went to a Queen who called Juana "la Loca" for traveling with her late husband, embalmed, throughout the lands of his kingdom Spain never was clear where the coffin was.
He was still in love with him, and could not bear to bury him as the holy custom of those times.Dead of Queen Juana "la Loca" came from the Netherlands aHer son, Charles, born in Ghent did not even knowentoces speak the Castilian.

For all overseas perfect Castilian speaking a strange language.He was born in Ghent in 1500 and came here with all his courtiers and foreign advisors were very badly received in Castile, and with good reason.Result, bloody civil war by the Dukes and Knights Castilian king did not want a 19 year old came from abroad, not speaking the language, to reign one of the greatest kingdoms of the time.The Communards called under Juan Bravo and preferred to Padilla's brother Carlos, Fernando, raised in Spain by his grandfather Ferdinand II of Aragon, husband of the deceased (the also deceased) Isabella I of Castile.The Communards were defeated by the troops of Charles in Villalar (Valladolid), April 23, 1521, his bosses Padilla, Bravo and Maldonado were beheaded.Now the feast of the Castilla-Leon is celebrated on April 23, and is a public holiday in that community.His patriotic holiday, and we see that the Spaniards remember their heroes with love.

This marriage of Kings (Isabel and Fernando) was called by Pope Alexander VI Borgia Pope "The Catholic Monarchs", and the truth is I do not really know the reason, be it Christian ideas defended the Muslim faced with the time .Or the ball well for them, as was customary in those days. However considering that Pope Alexander VI was born in Xativa (Valencia) Spain, no wonder some favoritism with so-called "Catholic Monarchs".(The history of this Pope / Borgia-Borja in Spanish / we leave for another time ... is also very seasoned).Elizabeth I's dream came to nothing, because until todaylands of this country we call Spain remain disunited and each of them want to be independent, five hundred years after the events described in this brief history.

The culmination and in my opinion are committed greaterrors in that reign.
Highlight only two as the importance they had in the later history:First:Eject the Kingdom to the Jews and those who professed the Muslim religion .... great, great mistake, was their landas for the rest of its inhabitants.Contributed wealth and work, so we went ..... after a disaster.Second:Create the infamous "Inquisition" and give full powers to theChristian Church of the time to pursue those notprofessed "true faith" expoliándoles, torturing andfinally sentenced to death to many people.

Hit?If America was discovered, but the inhabitants of thoseland were very quiet before the arrival of "the conquering Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dutch and British .....Anyway, for much will that be can not change the destiny of a people, nation or the events that happen haphazardly.
 Another success could be the creation of "Holy Brotherhood" that ensured the safety on roads that were hitherto intrasitables by the number of bandits, murderers, thieves who infested the communication routes between cities.

Greetings to all and hope that you will have enjoyed the story of one of the Queens most significant in the history of Spain.

(In collaboration with my wife CUCA , SHE IS WHO TELL ME THE STORIES)







The first word of the heraldic arms of the Catholic Monarchs was, in all probability, in the church of San Juan de los Reyes (Toledo), whose thundering is the San Juan haloed eagle, and used as currency by Princess Isabel.Yugo and cut the Gordian knot, both mounted with the nickname ... as personal emblem of Ferdinand II of Aragon in the roof of one of the rooms of the palace of the Catholic Monarchs of Aljafería of Zaragoza, 1488-1492.


GREETINGS ....... the gatufo
