Isabella I, also known as "the Catholic", is one of the most emblematic figures in the history of the Spanish empire. Her reign was marked by important milestones and feats. These include her crucial role in the reconquest against the Arab invasion, the expulsion of the Jews and the sponsorship of Christopher Columbus' voyage to the New World. As a ruler, Isabella was instrumental in the unification of Spain and her worldwide influence is considered historic, laying the foundations for the expansion of the Spanish Empire and ushering in a new era of greatness. Discover the woman behind the crown: her fears, her desires, her triumphs? An indomitable queen in an era of greatness. "Finding myself the legitimate successor to the Castilian throne, my life took a galloping course, and never better said. So much galloping, especially during the ten years of the war of Granada, have caused, according to the doctors, my physical ailments, which are no worse than those of my soul." In her writings, Isabella signed herself as "I, the Queen" and, before she was Queen, "I, the Princess". Through the pages of this novelized diary, based on the exhaustive study of documents and writings related to the queen, we discover the most human side of Isabella: her fears, her desires, her triumphs and her failures. Each chapter immerses us in the heart of a woman determined to leave her mark on history. The Queen of Castile and Aragon dazzles us with the story of her life, from her early years to her rise to the throne and her struggle to unify Spain. Through her words, we witness her innermost thoughts and the most difficult decisions she made during her reign. Immerse yourself in I, Isabella, a novel that includes the queen's authentic will, written during her last days. Isabella of Castile, a monumental figure, was an indomitable leader whose vision and courage changed the course of Spanish history.
