Book excerpt: En 1451, en un convento en lo que hoy conocemos como Madrigal “de las Altas Torres” y que entonces era una pequeña villa, achaparrada bajo el adobe y las tejas, nació la hija de Juan II, rey de Castilla y León y de Isabel de Portugal. Una niña que recibiría el nombre de su madre y que estaba llamada a convertirse en una de las figuras más relevantes de la historia española. En esta obra, galardonada con el Premio Nacional de Historia, Luis Suárez desgrana con rigor pero con la voluntad de llegar al gran público, la vida de Isabel I de Castilla desde su infancia hasta la muerte, pasando por los momentos decisivos que tuvo que afrontar, desde la temprana pérdida de su padre cuando apenas tenía tres años. Si bien, Isabel no estaba destinada a reinar dado que tenía un hermanastro y un hermano por delante en la línea sucesoria, diversos avatares y confabulaciones le llevaron finalmente al trono de Castilla. Este libro es también la historia de cómo Isabel elige como marido a su joven primo Fernando frente a la imposición de otros candidatos como el rey de Portugal, el hermano de Luis XI de Francia, o el duque de York, futuro Ricardo III. La fórmula política a que ambos esposos llegaron –Unión de Reinos– siguiendo la trayectoria de la antigua Corona de Aragón, significó un paso muy importante en la construcción de Europa y permitió que los grandes objetivos culturales, económicos y de defensa, fueran compatibles con la pluralidad como forma política superior.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Queen who shaped the music, literature, architecture, and painting of late medieval Spain. This multidisciplinary volume was inspired by the quincentenary of the death of Queen Isabel I of Castile, early modern Europe's first powerful queen regnant. Comprising work by distinguished art historians, musicologists, historians, and literary scholars from England, Spain, and the United States, it begins with a theoretical examination of medieval queenship itself that argues - against the grain of the volume - for its inseparability from kingship. Several essays examine the complex ways in which the Queen and her advisers shaped the music, literature, architecture, and painting of fifteenth-century Spain and how these in turn shaped the sovereign's power and persona. Others analyze influences on Isabel's reign from Aragón, Portugal, and northern Europe. A third group deals with issues of periodization, arguing from a variety of perspectives for the modernity of Isabelline culture. The evolving construction of Isabel's image from the mid-fifteenth to the late-twentieth century is also studied. BARBARA WEISSBERGER is Associate Professor Emerita of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Minnesota.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Queen Isabel of Castile is perhaps best known for her patronage of Christopher Columbus and for the religious zeal that led to the Spanish Inquisition, the waging of holy war, and the expulsion of Jews and Muslims across the Iberian peninsula. In this sweeping biography, newly revised and annotated to coincide with the five-hundredth anniversary of Isabel's death, Peggy K. Liss draws upon a rich array of sources to untangle the facts, legends, and fiercely held opinions about this influential queen and her decisive role in the tumultuous politics of early modern Spain. Isabel the Queen reveals a monarch who was a woman of ruthless determination and strong religious beliefs, a devoted wife and mother, and a formidable leader. As Liss shows, Isabel's piety and political ambition motivated her throughout her life, from her earliest struggles to claim her crown to her secret marriage to King Fernando of Aragón, a union that brought success in civil war, consolidated Christian hegemony over the Iberian peninsula, and set the stage for Spain to become a world empire.

Book excerpt: Conocida como la Reina Virgen por su negativa a contraer matrimonio, Isabel I ha pasado a la historia como una gobernante implacable. Margaret George, en este relato a dos voces, desmonta el mito del Isabel I como mujer fría y desapasionada al descubrirnos el perfil más íntimo y, hasta cierto punto, desconocido, de quien sería la última Tudor. Isabel I de Inglaterra, imponente en su papel de soberana, desplegó una acción política sin precedentes en la Europa del siglo XVI. La reina protestante se enfrentó a católicos y calvinistas en su país y en buena parte de los estados vecinos; se midió con María Estuardo y Felipe II, a quienes se impuso con inteligencia y valentía, al tiempo que desbarataba un complot contra su persona y armaba un gran ejército. En su lecho de muerte repasa las gestas por las que fue temida y reverenciada, pero entre sus recuerdos también hay lugar para sus seres queridos, como su fiel servidor Walsingham o su amante, Robert Dudley, caído en la batalla contra la Armada Invencible. Mucho tiempo después, Lettice, la esposa legítima de Dudley, cuenta a sus nietos, conmovida y sin rencor, la historia de la gran reina. Conocida como la Reina Virgen por su negativa a contraer matrimonio, Isabel I ha pasado a la historia como una gobernante implacable. Margaret George, en este relato a dos voces, desmonta el mito de Isabel I como mujer fría y desapasionada al descubrirnos el perfil más íntimo y, hasta cierto punto, desconocido de quien sería la última Tudor. La crítica ha dicho... «Al igual que su heroína, George tiene especial sensibilidad para la belleza y una gran habilidad en el tratamiento de los detalles; así crea una historia vibrante que permite a los lectores sentir que son testigos directos de las decisiones, los triunfos y las derrotas de la reina Isabel.» Publishers Weekly «El magistral conocimiento que tiene George de esta época y su certeza al investigar los vericuetos de la política isabelina hacen de ésta una novela que nunca decae.» Booklist

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La abundante documentación, tanto inédita como publicada, de que actualmente disponen los historiadores, permite efectuar una revisión del reinado de Isabel que nos proporciona nuevas luces. Es prácticamente imposible separar las acciones de ambos reyes, de modo que la limitación impuesta en el presente libro es únicamente cronológica: se interrumpe en el momento de la muerte de la reina. Es, por tanto, tras un breve prólogo, la historia de un matrimonio que supo cumplir con el deber de reinar. La fórmula política a que ambos esposos llegaron –Unión de Reinos– siguiendo la trayectoria de la antigua Corona de Aragón, significó un paso muy importante en la construcción de Europa: se hizo una perfecta distinción entre soberanía unificada y administración diversificada. Los grandes objetivos, culturales, económicos y de defensa, se hicieron depender de esa unidad, haciéndola compatible con la pluralidad como forma política superior. La forma más profunda de unidad fue confiada a una doctrina que defendía el libre albedrío y la racionalidad como dimensiones esenciales de la naturaleza humana. Se trata de mantener un rigor documental en la fijación de los acontecimientos pero poniéndolo al servicio de cualquier persona de adecuado nivel cultural. No se trata de una obra para historiadores sino de historiadores para el público en general.

Book excerpt: One of the most powerful and compelling figures of all history. Isabel of Spain was a force to be reckoned with and should rightfully eclipse the better-known Elizabeth of England--both as a woman and as a national leader. From her heroic leadership during the Reconquista, to social reform through just litigation, to her funding of the voyages undertaken by Columbus, Isabel turned the tide of history and truly "restored all things in Christ." The first full scholarly biography of Queen Isabel in English for nearly seventy-five years, Isabel of Spain is extensively annotated and eminently readable.

Book excerpt: An engrossing and revolutionary biography of Isabella of Castile, the controversial Queen of Spain who sponsored Christopher Columbus's journey to the New World, established the Spanish Inquisition, and became one of the most influential female rulers in history. In 1474, when most women were almost powerless, twenty-three-year-old Isabella defied a hostile brother and a mercurial husband to seize control of Castile and León. Her subsequent feats were legendary. She ended a twenty-four-generation struggle between Muslims and Christians, forcing North African invaders back over the Mediterranean Sea. She laid the foundation for a unified Spain. She sponsored Columbus’s trip to the Indies and negotiated Spanish control over much of the New World. She also annihilated all who stood against her by establishing a bloody religious Inquisition that would darken Spain’s reputation for centuries. Whether saintly or satanic, no female leader has done more to shape our modern world. Yet history has all but forgotten Isabella’s influence. Using new scholarship, Downey’s luminous biography tells the story of this brilliant, fervent, forgotten woman, the faith that propelled her through life, and the land of ancient conflicts and intrigue she brought under her command.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major biography of the queen who transformed Spain into a principal global power, and sponsored the voyage that would open the New World. In 1474, when Castile was the largest, strongest, and most populous kingdom in Hispania (present day Spain and Portugal), a twenty-three-year-old woman named Isabella ascended the throne. At a time when successful queens regnant were few and far between, Isabella faced not only the considerable challenge of being a young, female ruler in an overwhelmingly male-dominated world, but also of reforming a major European kingdom riddled with crime, debt, corruption, and religious factionism. Her marriage to Ferdinand of Aragon united two kingdoms, a royal partnership in which Isabella more than held her own. Their pivotal reign was long and transformative, uniting Spain and setting the stage for its golden era of global dominance. Acclaimed historian Giles Tremlett chronicles the life of Isabella of Castile as she led her country out of the murky Middle Ages and harnessed the newest ideas and tools of the early Renaissance to turn her ill-disciplined, quarrelsome nation into a sharper, truly modern state with a powerful, clear-minded, and ambitious monarch at its center. With authority and insight he relates the story of this legendary, if controversial, first initiate in a small club of great European queens that includes Elizabeth I of England, Russia's Catherine the Great, and Britain's Queen Victoria.
