Queen Isabella once said, "I will assume the undertaking for my own crown of Castile, and am ready to pawn my jewels to defray the expenses of it, if the funds in the treasury should be found inadequate." She may be most famous for funding Christopher Columbus on his expedition to the New World, but she was so much more than the provider of that trip. She had a complicated childhood and became a great ruler. Isabella I of Castile, was born April 22, 1451, she was half Spanish and half Portuguese. Isabella’s mother was not cared about even though Isabella’s father was of royal status.

Does anyone actually know what happened to Amelia Earhart? Growing up, Amelia Earhart was always very outgoing and brave and liked the outdoors.

In the late 16th century, Queen Elizabeth I of England endeavored to establish a permanent settlement in the New World. Elizabeth granted English aristocrat Sir Walter Ralegh the rights to introduce a settlement to spread the influence of the Queen and the Christian faith. In 1585, the first English settlers populated the new colony of Roanoke. By establishing Roanoke, the English hoped to launch trade with the Native Americans and mount piracy attacks on the ships of the enemy Spanish fleet. Queen Elizabeth sponsored “privateering” by motivating English sailors to raid and pillage Spanish ships, and having an English colony near the Spanish colonies would increase the effectiveness of privateering. Elizabeth hoped that once the English controlled the entire Eastern Seaboard of the new continent, the Spanish would hardly be a threat. However, the English were hasty in establishing their first settlement and this ultimately lead to the downfall of the colony. Roanoke failed to last for more than a few years and by 1590, the entire colony had disappeared. If the English focused on establishing a safe and durable settlement instead of developing a base for trade, privateering, and further expansion, the first colony of Roanoke could have been successful.

Countries would want their kids to marry to Isabella kids because the Kingdom of Castile was wealthy and they wanted their kingdoms to be just as big of Castile.

She had a fair amount of power as a woman and I felt like played a large role in the government unlike may queens who were just figure

Article #1 first discusses how the piece uses a tilma, or a woven cloak, as the canvas for the creation of the Virgin of Guadalupe painting. The tilma uses two different types of fabric and could be described as a cape-like due to its length. The native painters used tempera and oil to create the painting on the cloth piece. Guadalupe's skin color and black hair are both important factors to consider during the interpretation of the painting, as no other image in the Spain had depicted Mary in this way. However, over the years, the image has been altered quite a bit due to cracks and fading of color in the painting. Her artistic meaning contained such as powerful message that she was also used by sailors in overseas missions as a means for

Isabella of Castile was one of the most accomplished queens Spain has ever seen, but how did it all begin? How did someone dubbed “Isabella the Catholic” (Lewis, 2015) become so dedicated to her religion? And how did she become her brother’s heir when he himself had a daughter? Her childhood, her journey to become heir, and her marriage to Ferdinand of Aragon will all be discussed. Most of the information was found in The Queen’s Vow: A novel of Isabella of Castile by C.W. Gortner and fact checked using various websites.

Historians and scholars often overlook the part that women played in the Renaissance. Did women have a Renaissance? The period did not occur in a male only vacuum; women played an important part in the changes taking place across Europe. No matter a woman’s station in the class system, women, were still considered the sinful daughter of Eve, the downfall of man. Into this world stepped Isabella d’Este, one of the great women of the Renaissance.

Katherine of Aragon was born during the 14th century to 17 century renaissance era on December 16th 1485(Williams). She called alcalá de Henares her home and she is the daughter of Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon( Williams). She is credited with the separation of the Church of England from the Roman Commission( Williams). She gave birth to 6 children but only one survived infancy that being Mary I.

Catherine, First Queen of King Henry VIII, daughter of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain, was born at Alcala de Henares on the 15 or 16 of December 1485. She is the youngest in her family of five, which includes one son and four daughters. She was also the youngest of the surviving children of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. When her mother was pregnant with Catherine she would travel in hot spring and scorching summers to be with the army, and unfortunately Queen Isabella lost many children because of the conditions that she traveled in. Catherine was seven when her parents defeated the Moors. Catherine grew up during the Spanish inquisition, which explained why her mother went wherever the army went. Catherine was also the youngest daughter of one of Europe’s most famous power couple. Since her parents were a power couple it made the children to be desired and married too. Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand marriage had united Spain under one rule. Catherine did have an older brother who was going to be the heir to the throne, and due to a tragic accident Juan died at the young age of 19. In response to his son’s death, Ferdinand became

Sixteenth century England experienced a phenomenon sometimes referred to as the Age of Queens. The decisive power of the country was placed in women’s hands and their reigns were watched with a reasonable doubt. There is contrast of rule in terms of reigns between Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth of England, both of whom were engaged in a protracted struggle for the English throne. Beside the legitimacy of their claims, there are more significant considerations which predestined them to either increase or lose their power. The rule and attitudes of the two monarchs bore significant influence upon the times in which they lived, including social, political and legal precedents which were being challenged and in some cases reversed. The fact that both Queens encountered situations of striking similarity, serves as a suitable example for a remarkable comparison, helping to analyze the lives of the two Queens and how their lives diverged as a result of such encounters and their actions thereafter. They were both Queens, struggling for the throne, they were women as well as rivals; they both had affairs with married men, however, one managed a narrow escape from the disgraceful situation, while the other failed to do so. Mary grew to hate Anne Boleyn, mother of Elizabeth, because he took the position of her mother Catharine as Queen of England. Before Elizabeth came to the scene, Mary was loved and was the only child of King Henry VIII of
