"Honourable Mentions" is a series that honours the lives of Tudor women who knew, aided, and impacted the lives of our six queens. This season, Kate and Cally unpack the life of one of the most powerful women of fifteenth-century Europe: Isabel of Castile. In addition to being the mother of Katherine of Aragon, she was a queen in her own right, a conqueror with a complicated legacy, and the equal of any male ruler at the table.

How did Isabel's unique political situation influence her queenship and character? How did her family, especially her daughters, benefit from Isabel's unwavering, unquestionable power? And how did her dynastic legacy influence the Tudors?
