madeleine92posts:On this day in history Isabella of Trastámara was proclaimed the Queen Regnant of Castile and León - only two days after her half-brother’s death even though the said brother had had a daughter. “Castile, Castile for Queen Isabella and her lawful husband, king Ferdinand!!!”“Hang out the banners for me, acknowledging me as your Queen and natural Lady and the most dignified and powerful prince, king Ferdinand, my Lord as my lawful husband, perserving customary celebrations in such cases…”Isabella I of Castile“Isabella proclaimed herself the Queen during Ferdinand’s absence, she marched having the sword-bearer marching before her. This way she was represented as a supreme executor of law even though according to the treaty of Cervera, it was a role reserved for Ferdinand.”Manuel Fernández ÁlvarezSource: “Isabel La Católica” by Manuel Fernández Álvarez -- source link
