Queen Isabella
Isabella was born in 1451 and died in 1504. She came from a long line of European royalty including Henry IV of England. She and her husband, Ferdinand of Aragon, are best known as the patrons of Christopher Columbus' voyage to the New World. After Columbus' discovery, Isabella took a keen interest in the welfare of the Native Americans. She ordered that those brought to Spain should be returned to their homes, and she made provisions in her will that Native Americans be well-treated in Spanish-held territories. Unfortunately, the wishes in her will were not always honored. Her legacy has a darker side: she established the Spanish Inquisition and was responsible for expelling the Jews from Spain in 1492. In Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition, you will find Isabella to be a mostly charming opponent or ally. She's witty and engaging with a sense of adventure.
