Xavier Stiles and World History Honors

In this podcast we talked with Queen Isabella of Castile and how she became Queen. We talked about her life and how she rose in power. While Queen Isabella reigned Castile, her and her husband Ferdinand combined their kingdoms. Queen Isabella and her husband not only combined their kingdoms, but they also funded Christopher Columbus exploration. It was quite an experience having such an amazing ruler on our show today.
