She and her husband King Ferdinand ruled Spain in the late 1400s - early 1500s. They paid for Columbus' voyages, but at the same time they oversaw the Inquisition, in which the Catholic Church tortured and murdered thousands of people who were suspected of real or imagined religious offenses. They also ordered the expulsion of all of the Jews of Spain, who had lived there for over 1000 years.
