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.
