Another fantastic article, Ann! Thank you! I didn't learn any of this in History (barely touching on Columbus because I'm Canadian, and Canada was "discovered" by Vikings).
lovely series. I was born and raised in Peru and these monarchs were taught in classes, but none of this was ever mentioned. Powerful article that is also well researched. bravo!
As a second point, I would greatly appreciate more information about her decision to codify law, and hence create criminal statutes, etc. Investigating this further for an article of ours could be very interesting.
While she was awesome & a trailblazer in so many ways (mainly I love her), her Inquisition lived on for hundreds of years. It vilified & executed many. The Inquisition’s ban on Jews was finally renounced & Jews were supposedly welcomed in 1968. Just sayin’
And not once did you mention how she sold off her jewelry to allow Columbus to do his first voyage (which is, based on song lyrics and animated cartoons, is about the only thing some people know about her today, and may not even be true).

Thanks so much! I never knew any of this, either, except for maybe the vague fact that Columbus was funded by the Spanish monarchs.

I am new to Vulgar History and absolutely loved your page about the first real queen in history. Why did I not learn any of this stuff in school?
