Emilio Sala y Francés (Spanish, 1850-1910) Expulsión de los judíos de España (año de 1492), 1889 Museo Nacional del Prado

I’ve been traveling through Spain and had to share one of my souvenirs. While I did not expect to see the original Royal Diaries edition of Isabel: Jewel of Castilla, look what I found in the gift shop at the Real Alcázar (Royal Castle) in Seville! This is the French translation for the Mon Histoire series. Here it is titled Isabelle de Castille: Journal d’une Princesse Espagnole.

Granted I still cannot read French, but I’m excited to add it to my collection nonetheless.

People can say all they want about monarchy but let's just agree that Brazil's monarchy was the BEST okay??

I mean, the Empress literaly sacrificed her own position to end the slavery. It was like a fucking movie. People don't talk about it enough.

Ma queen Isabel ended slavery and the oligarchy dudes went ballistic because now they didn't have free labour so they fucking overthrew the royalty and started this fuckery we call republic.

BUT IN HISTORY BOOKS IS THIS EVEN MENTIONED??

Can I also mention how our independence was the SINGLE ONE IN THE WORLD with bo bloodshed?? My king just told his father "yo I'm cutting ties with the mainland" and said the fucking awesome line "INDEPENDENCY OR DEATH!" and the portuguese king was like "okay son whatever you want. Love ya." WHY IS THIS NOT TAUGH IN SCHOOL-

Zaida of Seville.

She was a refugee Muslim princess, formerly associated with the Abbadid dynasty, who became a mistress and then perhaps wife of king Alfonso VI of Castile.

With the fall of Seville to the Almoravids, she fled to the protection of Alfonso VI of Castile, becoming his mistress, converting to Roman Catholic Christianity and taking the baptismal name of Isabel.

She was the mother of Alfonso VI of Castile's only son, Sancho, who, though illegitimate, was named his father's heir but was killed in the Battle of Uclés of 1108 during his father's lifetime. It has been suggested that Alfonso's fourth wife, Isabel, was identical to Zaida, but this is still subject to scholarly debate, others making Queen Isabel distinct from the mistress or suggesting that Alfonso had two successive wives of this name, with Zaida being the second Queen Isabel. Alfonso's daughters Elvira and Sancha, were by Queen Isabel, and hence may have been Zaida's. Queen Isabel is last seen in May 1107.
