An educational podcast for children in which we travel back in time to the year 1502, to the Castilian court, to meet one of the most influential monarchs of all time: Isabella I of Castile. In this episode of “History Has a Voice,” we will discover how this queen changed the map of the world and ushered in a new era.

Isabella the Catholic was a cultured and determined woman who, despite not being the direct heir at birth and facing great challenges, managed to ascend to the throne after the death of her brothers. Together with her husband Ferdinand of Aragon, she united kingdoms, culminated the Reconquista with the capture of Granada, and received the title of “Catholic Monarch” from the Pope.

Her reign marked a turning point thanks to her support for Christopher Columbus. She took a chance on a risky expedition that ended up connecting Europe with America, initiating a cultural and food exchange (such as chocolate and potatoes) and laying the foundations for the first laws to protect the natives.

In this episode, we will learn about her serious and firm character, why she decided to finance Columbus's voyage when others rejected it, and the importance she placed on education and justice. An exciting journey to understand the beginning of the Modern Age.

A very useful and interesting resource for children. It is perfect for introducing the history of Spain and America in primary education, explaining the end of the Middle Ages, and valuing female leadership in the construction of today's world.
