BTW, Ferdinand and Isabella were the parents of Catherine of Aragon, tragic first queen of Henry the Eighth.


Which is why the Pope was between a rock and a hard place when it came to granting Henry VIII a divorce. Piss off Henry or piss off the Catholic church’s richest patrons.

At least she kept her head, and Henry bestowed a palace and riches upon her. I’m sure her soul was saved, probably can’t say the same for the ex.
