Strong Women in History Week 5.

I love reading historical books about the influential women of the world's past. From the early 14th Century BC to current times. I am always fascinated by the political and religious influences these women had over their kingdoms or over their generation.

I thought this would be an interesting series to do with ATCs. Each swap will have a different historical character. You don't have to paint or draw each lady on the atcs. Unless you want to. Maybe an atc with things that each woman represented.

Week 5: Isabella 1 of Castile, Queen of Spain, 1451-1504 When Isabella married Ferdinand of Aragon in 1469, both she and her husband became joint rulers of the whole of Spain. They governed independently, however, and Isabella initiated a program of reform which reduced the power of her rebellious nobles, streamlined her government, and encouraged scholarship. Intensely religious, she helped establish the Inquisition in Andalusia, which led to the expulsion from Spain of over 170,000 Jews. With Ferdinand, she conquered Granada, the remaining territory of the Moors. Eventually, they too were expelled from Spain.

Standard 2.5x3.5in size. NO sticker slapping. Please put some effort into your atc.

NO FLAKERS! I may allow newbies into this swap if your profile is COMPLETELY filled out and you have at least 10 swap 3s. I don't want any issues with this series. Will angel if needed, hopefully wont have to.
