The year 2024 marks the 550th anniversary of Queen Isabella I of Castile’s accession. A collection of articles was written to mark the anniversary for the website History of Royal Women. The collection focuses on important dates in her life and walks you through them as the year goes by. As these articles were originally meant to stand alone, you may find some repetition.
Moniek Bloks is the editor of the successful website History of Royal Women. She lives in the Netherlands and has a background in law. Her interest in historical royal women and writing began at an early age, and she has been glad to share the stories of often little-known royal women. When she isn't writing, she is visiting castles and palaces around Europe with her trusty camera.
