Isabella of Spain

Please view / download a PDF sample of this book.

Affectionately called by her people ‘la Catolica’, Queen Isabella of Spain was by any standard one of the greatest women of all history. With her husband Ferdinand of Aragon, she forged modern Spain, cast out those Moslems and Jews who were causing great harm, discovered the New World by backing Columbus, and established a powerful central government in Spain. This story is so thrilling it reads like a novel. With our helpful critical annotations, the reader is able to digest the more difficult passages, to learn the unchangeable teachings of the Catholic Church, and to discover the antidotes to anti-Catholic propaganda. A truly one-of-kind version! We have also added pictures, maps, and vocabulary entries to this great classic. If you wish to understand what a great ruler is supposed to do for those ruled, how that ruler should implement the beautiful and perennial teachings of the Catholic Church concerning Union of Church and State, as well as how one should deal with the internal enemies of the State, this book is not to be missed.
