The Reconquista continues as Isabella becomes Queen!

On Dec 13, 1474 Isabella crossed her own Rubicon - she staged a coup and became the Queen of Castile. No woman had sole power over the kingdom in over 250 years. Immediatly she would come into conflict with her neighbors and her own husband. Her ascendancy would only be settled with bloodshed

The Reconquista continues into the life of Queen Isabella of Castile!

We begin with her early life. Isabella was born into a kingdom that was a far cry from its glory days. Improvished and on the brink of civil war, Castile had descended into a dark age under the weak rule of her older half brother, King Henry IV.

Big thanks to Claudie Mackula and her amazing music:

The First Crusade was a spectacular success for the Christian armies. During this time the Byzantine Empire entered a golden age known as the Komnenian Restoration. However, with the fall of Edessa in 1144, the Islamic world begins to coalesce. Zengi and his son Nur ad Din create a powerful state. But despite their successes, they would be overshadowed by and even more powerful sultan - Saladin.
