Isabella I of Castile Part 2: Checkmate | 53

This two-part series is all about Isabella I of Castile – one of the most powerful female rulers in European history. In part one, Isabella went from pawn to queen by outsmarting her brother and scooping up the crown. Now, she has to step up her game if she wants to remain queen and turn Castile into a Spanish empire. But the road to global dominance comes with a high price – one that history will never forget.Be the first to know about Wondery’s newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!
