Daughter of John II of Castile and León, she married Ferdinand V in 1469. Her reign began with civil war over her succession (1474-79), but in 1479 the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon came together in the persons of their rulers, though they remained separately governed. In a long campaign (1482-92), Isabella and Ferdinand succeeded in conquering Granada, the last Muslim stronghold in Spain. In 1492 Isabella approved support of Christopher Columbus's journey to the New World. That same year she was involved in the expulsion of the Jews under the Inquisition. Along with her spiritual advisers, she reformed the Spanish churches. Spanish Isabel born Oct. 10, 1830, Madrid, Spain died April 9, 1904, Paris, France Queen of Spain (1833-68). She was the daughter of Ferdinand VII, and the issue of her succession to the throne precipitated the First Carlist War (see Carlism). During her minority (1833-43), her mother and Baldomero Espartero acted as regents; in 1843 Espartero was deposed by military officers, and Isabella was declared of age. Liberal opposition to the regime's authoritarianism, scandalous reports about her private life, and her arbitrary political interference led to the Revolution of 1868, which drove her into exile. She abdicated in favour of her son, Alfonso XII. Crawford Isabella Valancy Isabella Augusta Persse Isabella Farnese Isabella I Isabella the Catholic Isabella II Isabella Van Wagener
