PRODUCT SUMMARY
(1452-1516)/(1451-1504) Able rulers, skillful tacticians and devout believers in the Catholic Church, Spanish rulers Ferdinand and Isabella were an effective force in extending Spanish power and influence. Often ruthless, they created a new monarchy as they wrested power away from the nobility, reorganized the economy and reformed the Church. They commissioned Christopher Columbus to claim an overseas empire for them in an attempt to unify Spain under one crown and one religion, which became the edict for the Spanish Inquisition. Part of the multivolume Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Video Collection, a compelling set of biographies that introduces students to outstanding Hispanic and Latin American men and women. Available in both English and Spanish.
