The chronicles of that time wondered why King Enrique never visited the queen and yet always made himself surrounded by young knights. That's why no one believed that Juana was his daughter. Greetings from a castilian. One important topic to understand the Isabela's mind was that she was grown almost in jail. Isabela and her mother were confined in a castle when king Juan died because Enrique didn't like the 2nd marriage of his father. That, in my opinion, shaped the personality of Isabela and explains many things about her behabiour.
Why would you back somebody that was evil? Burned people at the stake and expelled people. Don’t be fooled by a vail and a sweet smile. She was evil at heart.
@@appendix-q6k why are you in this video in the first place when for your comment it's clearly you haven't read about History? Burn people... the heck...
@@appendix-q6k She expelled people that didn´t want to be castillians and that since centuries ago tried to enslave and submit her people, she gave fair trials by the standard of that time and even today to judge people for treason, what´s evil in that?
This was such a great video! I can't wait to listen to the rest of the series. Isabella of Castile is such an interesting historical figure and oversaw so many events in Spanish and world history. She certainly seemed to have a very strong personality and sense of self. Just a small quibble, the kingdom of Castile had at least two queens regnant (crowned in their own right) during the middle ages: Urraca of Leon, who was queen of Leon, Castile, and Galicia in the early eleventh century, and Berenguela of Castile who ruled Castile with her son, Fernando III, in during the thirteenth century. Again, I really loved the video and can't wait for more!
Yes I had heard of these earlier queens who ruled with sons or as widows. I will look up Urraca though. It seems Castile was more willing to have female rulers than most other kingdoms who involved the Salic laws of male succession.
Gracias por tomarse todo este tiempo para investigar sobre Isabel I de Castilla. Efectivamente, como se dice en el comentario anterior, en los reinos hispánicos (excepto Aragón) se daban dos conceptos importantes en cuanto a la legitimación a la conona: potestas y regnum. Las infantas heredarán ambas, pero solian delegar la postestas en un varón porque implicaba la dirección de las tropas (pero la mujer sigue teniendo el derecho de regnum).
(repost) ... (repost) ... Muslim Europe, Mexico & Latin America? … Stopped by the Passion of one woman. Count your blessings! … If not for Queen Isabel we - most of Europe, and definitely all the Americas - would be Muslim; decked out in burkas, hijabs, thawabs, and Sharia Law! ... And I'm Sephardic! ... After Jesus Christ, Isabel may be the MOST Consequential Figure in History. .. By expelling Muslims from Spain, and thus erasing Islam's key foothold in Europe - AND any future claim! - she saved Christian Europe from being swallowed up by Islam. Charles Martel of France repelled Muslim advance deep into Europe at Tours in 732, and Isabel in 1492 expelled the entire, and main, European Muslim civilization of consequence! One entrenched in Spain for nearly 700 years; with cities such as Granada & Sevilla as the largest and most advanced in Europe. ... Also, her successful Vision of Spain not just as a World Empire (with her Columbus Expeditions), but much more importantly as 'Defender of the Faith' - Ensured that ALL of Latin America (and the Philippines) became and remained Christian, and never Muslim; … This CREED also saved Europe from Islam by stopping the Ottoman Empire’s takeover of the Mediterranean with victory at the Naval Battle of Lepanto in 1571. … Not bad for one resented by the MAJORITY of the Nobility, AND the Church (who forced her to cut her ties with her Jewish financiers and advisors) … for usurping her brother Enrique’s plan for the throne - instead of becoming a nun! (Great biography - 'Isabella: The Warrior Queen' by Kirstin Downey.)
@@evaschubert1on behalf of Spain as Spanish myself; i want to congratulate and say thank you for this superb piece of work; i don’t even think this stuff is covered in college level history classes in the English speaking world is quickly rushed through not going in detail with context for important events that ties the whole story together and that are crucial to understanding the broader context of the story overall; what can i say im almost on the verge of tears of joy here; saying this is awesome for someone to make such an educational; well researched; documented with the best sources in a language other than Spanish is amazing you would hardly find anything on youtube that is at the level of your work and im not exaggerating one bit
Two things: I. I love your style! Your look is so elegant. II. You deserve your own television show! You speak really well and you present the information in an interesting way. ☺️
this video is so educational i cannot believe it’s actually someone in the English speaking world is so documented on this particular time in history! as a Spanish myself im so grateful that you have done your research like nobody else has in a language other than Spanish; everyone rushes throughout this period and they hardly cover the small details that became crucial for the whole story to developed; you explaining every context has made a lot of justice and its superb; the whole going in depth into every context left me with a feeling like finally my prayers were answered; and im so happy you took the time for this; Thank You so much for your time and effort
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this comment. There were stacks of books and articles and a ton of work that went into preparing this series. I wanted to do justice to the complexity of the characters and their world. It wasn’t easy but I am so glad to hear you appreciated it 😊
Amazing video. I wanted to listen just the first 5 minutes and I ended up listening the entire video without stopping. Even without pictures and animations I felt a lot of suspense during the 50 minutes. Thank you.
Great explanation and commentary. Smooth and well explained, easy to understand and follow. Enjoyed it. Will be following the rest Princess Isabella of Castile > Queen Isabella of Spain.
In Spain we call them "Isabel y Fernando", calling them as "Fernando e Isabel" sounds weird to me 😎 I've enjoyed this video so much! I'll watch them all of course!
Well listing Isabel first is an accurate reflection of who truly held the power in Castile. I wonder if non-Spanish historians were the ones who habitually listed Ferdinand first, to match their own assumptions about kings having more power.
@@evaschubert1 I don't know, but I'm now watching EP 2, where you say Isabel agreed to write Fernando's name first in the legal papers in return of his concession about her being the queen, and that makes a lot of sense.
Dear Miestra Schubet: Your historical podcasts are so facsinating that I had to get a small notebook to keep track of your podcasts. They are clear, logical & fascinating. I think I am done with the "European Religious Wars" or at least need to take a break from them as they are intense. I was educated pre-internet and in the university, the internet was so primitive, it was only used for email. Now, if I were a student, I would not want to relay totally on your podcasts to pass a class & have a more complete understanding. However, your podcasts are great to give basic background before getting into the historical & sociological details from the text. Thank you so very much. /s/ Old Man
Oh my! I had been looking for a podcast episode about them! This one's going to my list. I just finished your series about The Great Schism and loved it, btw.
Listen to the audio yesterday and now going to watch here. Really enjoyed it. Can't wait to hear all they did and all that was done in their names. Thank you.
Wow! This was interesting! I’m going to continue the next Episodes. I was originally looking for the story about Dona Blanca of Bourbon . I didn’t find anything but so happy I found this channel 🤗🤗 Thank you for sharing this with us all! 🙏
The history of the Reconquista and Reunification of Spain is truly fascinating. By the way, the Queen's name is Isabel, not Isabella. In English, Elizabeth. Otherwise, an interesting video about the woman who is possibly the most influential woman in history along with Ferdinand and also the grandparents of all the important Royal Houses of Europe.
I really liked your presentation on Queen Isabella the catholic ; whom i undoubtedly consider to be one of the great Queens in the history; such a Spain adversary Isabella ll in britain or Catherine the great in russia for example ; and without a doubt she would not have been posible surely the discover the " new world" América and what my country contributed in the history of hunanity; saludos
At last a history channel that treats Spain as something different from the infantile tourist joke. In Spain they are remembered as Isabel y Fernando. Everybody knew she also wore trousers.
So excited to watch this! I have been checking to see if you'd do another podcast series. Isabel is a remarkable and polarizing woman. Regardless of how she is viewed today no one can deny that.
@@evaschubert1 My other favourite YT historian is Flash Point History. He just started a series on Isabella and is three episodes in. Not sure if you're aware of him, but maybe one day you two could collaborate on something. You are amazing at this, keep it up, I'm surprised your videos don't have more likes. So far my favourite has been the Great Schism series. I am particularly interested in Byzantine history, hopefully one day you will do a series on that.
I am so excited to to see the next video on Queen Isabella, for the reason Queen Isabella is my 16th great grandmother. That is partly why I am so strong-willed when my husband and I watched it together he said that is so much like you. Sincerely Maureen ramage
What a great find. I'm curious tho as to the title and preamble as I've always known the Catholic Monarchs as "Isabel and Ferdinand", and not the other way round, as Castille was the dominant, more powerful, part of the duo. I'm curious as to whether other Brits know them as Isabel & Ferdinand, or if it is just me!
I have discovered this video and I am surprised at how well an Englishman treats a person of the importance of QUEEN ISABEL o the school of translators in Toledo and other good things from my land. Most of the writings, videos or publications try to belittle Spain and to build half-truths or lies about us. I am about to subscribe and see what comes out of this. I would only need to see you put the truth of what happened with respect to the "Felicísima Armada" and my eyes would pop out of my face.
half way through this video i can tell you im so hooked to this already; its so good!!!! and looking forward to the other parts of this series of videos; i can confidently say that this stuff is not even covered with students in college level history classes in the anglo world, its only quickly rushed through and they skip many important moments that tie the whole story together only highlighted by Columbus sponsored voyage by Queen Elizabeth; Isabella is the wrong translation; and whoever came up with that should be ashamed of themselves Isabel=Elizabeth; other that the name error is pure nonsense and not too important but your content is better than any stuff in the history channel’s on youtube; thats why im amazed and have been smiling as i listened that wow this is pure gold here; brilliant job
Lets no forget that following "El Cid" battles against the Muslims - Moors and Jews were thrown out of what was pre-Spain land. Those that stay, were converts called "Marranos". Isabel took all the Christian kingdoms and the only with Moors; the whole peninsula was Christian under a single chrown (Isabel & Fernando)
You are totally correct. Europe under the Catholic Church was Patriarchal. I am a white male who loves history. Women in history have been leaders and motivators all the way back to mythological times. Greek Mythology has the earth as Gia. The Mother. Titans and Gods had females plus many more. Norse Mythology had the same. Mythology became history and religion. Women were a great part of it but got little or no respect. My niece who I helped raise always said she was a princess when she was 6-12 years old. I explained that 1. The US has no royalty, and 2. Princesses were used to marry for political reasons, create alliances, and make heirs, often by proxy to total strangers. Great video. You are quite wise.
A minor correction at 7:20; Al-Jabr is the short name of the book algebra is derived from, not the author. "Algorithm" on the other hand is derived from an Arabic mathematician. I've made this exact mistake before, lol
🇪🇸 Isabel y Fernando “ Tanto monta. Monta tanto” ese fue su lema por el que lucharon y vencieron. No entiendo inglés, pero por la traducción de algunos comentarios parece ser que la tratas bien.
I'm a genealogist and after finding a half-dozen direct lines to English Royalty, Isabella of Castile was my next subject to research. She was a multiple cousin through my English lines. She was my 5th-cousin through her father John II of Castile and my 6th-cousin through her mother Isabella of Portugal. John II's father Henry III of Castile my 6th-cousin, his line to my 21st great-grandfather Ferdinand III of Castile-- well, my half cousin as my line there is down through Ferdinand's second wife via Eleanor of Castile, Queen Consort of England. John II's mother Catherine Plantagenet of Lancaster my 3rd-cousin, her father John Gaunt and grandfather Edward III of England. Isabella of Castile's mother Isabella of Portugal's grandmother Philippa of Lancaster the half-sister of Catherine of Lancaster. and so forth....
@@a.p.5906 I have done research for several folks, usually via DNA to find a parent or both. My suggestion for royalty is use DNA as far back as possible and hopefully you run into lines of ancestors called Gateway Ancestors of Royal Descent. Then Global- and UK-Find A Grave will often get you well into Wikipedia.
@@phillipmoore9012 My San Miguel family were ship captains for Christopher Columbus. My San Miguel family were also assistants to Cortez in their journeys through what we now know as Mexico.
Excellent. For what I know of the history of Castille and Aragon you are 100% correct. The only thing I would disagree with is that Aragon was “inside Spain”. Spain was not a term utilized until after the teo crowns merged under Charles V. Aragon was another kingdom just as Portugal was although they did share a lot more similarities with Aragon than with Portugal.
Yes absolutely. I try to mention that “Spain” was a term that came into use later, but I do use the term from time to time to anchor listeners in something familiar, as few have heard of Castile.
España es Hispania. Castilla y Aragon y Portugal estan en Hispania. Provincia Romana. Otra cosa son los reinos y condados, etc que conforman Hispania. 😊 En Francia, Aquitania, Alsacia, Vascongadas, Rosellon, Cerdaña etc, no eran Francia.
@@AngryNegativeHistoryProjectLos fenicios ya la llamaban Span , hace 2600 años. Se cree que significa Tierra de Conejos. Una ardilla podía atravesar la Península de árbol en árbol, según griegos y romanos.
How strange that Persian scholars who had resided in city of Baghdad was not mentioned at all. The architect that had been brought were all Persians. For the product mentioned , Safran ,rice ,almond......
North Africa was Christian during the Roman Empire.Also, they were Visigots and all this until Islam took over in 7th century AD. Im sorry you are implying that the Christians in the Iberian Peninsula were some kind o Neanderthals and yo and behold, *"Arabs"* ? came to civilize them? 😢
in the XIII century the laws and knowledge was written in Castilian (7 partidas Alfonso X) Technoiogy wasnt better in The Muslim world, at all, gun powder, shipping, glass works such as eye glasses,, clocks, Steel, Mills, Sawing, Architecture....all those disciplines were pioneered by Catholic Europe.
Of course the territory we now call Spain existed long before Isabella. However, the gradual shift toward these territories beginning to regard themselves as a single political unit is something Isabella contributed significantly to.
I like the fact that she claimed that she's kicking out Jewish people to keep her kingdom Catholic but she ordered those who left to leave behind Gold Silver and everything what was worth anything so they have been living there for more than thousand years and everything was stolen from them. She needed money😂
It's so difficult to follow these times in the History of Spain, because all these ripples continue for so long. It all makes the History difficult to follow and a bit boring at times.
I`m struggling with ( at least ) 2 things. 1. Matrix Algebra and 2. History. Matrix Algebra is nowhere near as intimidating as it sounds. History. There are no Rules - so how on earth is anyone able to learn History ?
As a Catholic (and there are very few left, due to Vatican II and false popes) Isabella is my hero. Ferdinand, much less so. Catholics read Bible seeing typology. So I see Isabella as Type of Blessed Virgin Mary, Great Age of Mary to come, once we get a Pope
Isabel made great achievements indeed being a female ruler in the late middle ages when men were dominant , however i like to think that the vast majority of muslims in Andalusia were Arabs not Moorish ( the rulers and the knights and elite ) and i don't say that because im arab .
The term “Moor” was a sloppy one at best and basically was used by Christians to describe anyone who was Muslim. A good number of those people were Arabs. 😉
in mexico, when we name them both, we name HER, first. kinda important. it was castille, and not aragon, that payed for horrible s*it the spaniards did
Long awaited: another wonderful presentation. How are the Franz Liszt and Django Reinhardt biogs coming? And let us not forget Piaf, Billie Holiday and Janis....
I, to cut a story short, found some books in The English College, Valladolid, in which were sentences erazed and in their place written ( in pen with ink ) the opinions of members of the Order of Preachers, who were appointed as the `thought Police` of the day : The Spanish Inquizition.
With your little embodied whimper of identification at Isabella’s insistence on marriage equality, it became clear to me, if it hadn’t been before, how much this episode must have been personally important to you.
WTF what is wrong with you? I don't think you can honestly say that the torture and murder of innocent people adults and children can be seen in a positive light no matter how hard you try to frame it. The woman wasn't right in the head. Too much Christianity and zesl
Well, being Middle Eastern, you should know the Arabs grabbed the Knowledge from those regions they conquered. Those were in Mesopotamia, which were the Assyrians which in very Aramaic (the language they spoke) meant "The Beginning". The Assyrians created the CRADLE OF CIVILIZATION. Arabs conquered those people, but that was because those regions still belonged to Assyrians. They couldn't convert them because they were Christians, and were resilient. Even the Maronites who are an extension of Assyrians and Phoenicians had constant civil wars against Arabs who are Muslims. They spread this false information that they are "Arab Christians" because people like Saddam Hussein, and other Arab Muslims. Especially those Kurds who came from what is called Afghanistan want to erase the indigenous people . Historically the Assyrians gave the first Laws, the Laws of Hammurabi, and the first steel, and wheel , even beer etc.... The Assyrians are prophetically going to be reclaiming their lands. just like the Jews, and Indigenous Egyptians, who are NOT Arabs, but Nubians, will be the 3 nations returning from Diaspora to their indigenous lands. In Isaiah, the chosen people, the Jews were the recent and first people returning from Diaspora, the Assyrians the first converts into Christianity, and are found still all over the world shall be 2nd, and thirdly, the Nubians. It is found in Isaiah chapter 19. The very word Astronomy was derived from Assyria. Arabs haven't done anything just steal as always. lol Romans and Greeks took everything from these ancient peoples, and added to it. That is why our founding fathers in America, took from all these great people, and created our constitution!!!

Isabel took all the Christian kingdoms and the only with Moors; the whole peninsula was Christian under a single chrown (Isabel & Fernando)
You are totally correct. Europe under the Catholic Church was Patriarchal. I am a white male who loves history. Women in history have been leaders and motivators all the way back to mythological times. Greek Mythology has the earth as Gia. The Mother. Titans and Gods had females plus many more. Norse Mythology had the same. Mythology became history and religion. Women were a great part of it but got little or no respect. My niece who I helped raise always said she was a princess when she was 6-12 years old. I explained that 1. The US has no royalty, and 2. Princesses were used to marry for political reasons, create alliances, and make heirs, often by proxy to total strangers. Great video. You are quite wise.
I am delighted you are enjoying the videos 😊
I love Queen Isabella!!!!
Did someone say Tanto Monta?
Multi level Captivating blessings
A minor correction at 7:20; Al-Jabr is the short name of the book algebra is derived from, not the author. "Algorithm" on the other hand is derived from an Arabic mathematician. I've made this exact mistake before, lol
🇪🇸 Isabel y Fernando “ Tanto monta. Monta tanto” ese fue su lema por el que lucharon y vencieron. No entiendo inglés, pero por la traducción de algunos comentarios parece ser que la tratas bien.
I'm a genealogist and after finding a half-dozen direct lines to English Royalty, Isabella of Castile was my next subject to research. She was a multiple cousin through my English lines. She was my 5th-cousin through her father John II of Castile and my 6th-cousin through her mother Isabella of Portugal. John II's father Henry III of Castile my 6th-cousin, his line to my 21st great-grandfather Ferdinand III of Castile-- well, my half cousin as my line there is down through Ferdinand's second wife via Eleanor of Castile, Queen Consort of England. John II's mother Catherine Plantagenet of Lancaster my 3rd-cousin, her father John Gaunt and grandfather Edward III of England. Isabella of Castile's mother Isabella of Portugal's grandmother Philippa of Lancaster the half-sister of Catherine of Lancaster. and so forth....
Hello. Do you research for anyone, or just your personal research?
@@a.p.5906 I have done research for several folks, usually via DNA to find a parent or both. My suggestion for royalty is use DNA as far back as possible and hopefully you run into lines of ancestors called Gateway Ancestors of Royal Descent. Then Global- and UK-Find A Grave will often get you well into Wikipedia.
History is more interesting when one can say X-great-grandmother, or uncle, or cousin.
Mate I hope uv done your genetic tree through DNA
Any other way would be ,,,
Dubious,,,,but if it feels good 😮 we’ll believe it
@@phillipmoore9012 My San Miguel family were ship captains for Christopher Columbus. My San Miguel family were also assistants to Cortez in their journeys through what we now know as Mexico.
Isabel In Spanish, Elizabeth in English
I love Catherine of Aragon!
And despise Pig Henry VIII.
What a husband and friend
He did treat her quite abominably
VIVA LA HISPANIDAD ❤
Pura vida great story and background information from madre patria .I dont like that our region was called latin America we dont speak latin 😮
Eso es culpa vuestra.
Excellent. For what I know of the history of Castille and Aragon you are 100% correct. The only thing I would disagree with is that Aragon was “inside Spain”. Spain was not a term utilized until after the teo crowns merged under Charles V. Aragon was another kingdom just as Portugal was although they did share a lot more similarities with Aragon than with Portugal.
Yes absolutely. I try to mention that “Spain” was a term that came into use later, but I do use the term from time to time to anchor listeners in something familiar, as few have heard of Castile.
I thought the Carthaginians called it Spain. Isabella and Ferdinand United the whole place. The United States of rabbits! Haha
España es Hispania. Castilla y Aragon y Portugal estan en Hispania. Provincia Romana. Otra cosa son los reinos y condados, etc que conforman Hispania. 😊 En Francia, Aquitania, Alsacia, Vascongadas, Rosellon, Cerdaña etc, no eran Francia.
@@AngryNegativeHistoryProjectLos fenicios ya la llamaban Span , hace 2600 años. Se cree que significa Tierra de Conejos. Una ardilla podía atravesar la Península de árbol en árbol, según griegos y romanos.
Thank you for the research and presentation! Interesting, enlightning and educational.
I am delighted to hear you found it useful
Castilla y Aragon eran reyes en Hispania, junto a Portugal . Desde los Romanos.
How strange that Persian scholars who had resided in city of Baghdad was not mentioned at all. The architect that had been brought were all Persians. For the product mentioned , Safran ,rice ,almond......
Miss Eva, are you a traditional catholic? Just asking.❤
I don't know but she knew about mortal sin, didn't say stupid false attacks on us, and she's talking about a great Catholic.
People would say I'm a traditional Catholic. I'd say all Catholics are traditional.
Peace and have Merry Christmas!
Isabella was actually much more stronger than Fernando. She was the real boss!
She definitely exerted a degree of control that was unparalleled in her time, though Ferdinand was a strong personality in his own right.
I'm 63. You could add up all strength of every politician that "represented" me, and it is nothing compared to Queen Isabella.
Big fan
She was formidable; beautiful, intelligent and a true Christian. What a jewel of a woman and Queen. 😊
Isabella should marry the Silent Samurai!
They were my great x 16 grandparents
Can we take a second to talk about this woman's biceps? Damn!
North Africa was Christian during the Roman Empire.Also, they were Visigots and all this until Islam took over in 7th century AD. Im sorry you are implying that the Christians in the Iberian Peninsula were some kind o Neanderthals and yo and behold, *"Arabs"* ? came to civilize them? 😢
in the XIII century the laws and knowledge was written in Castilian (7 partidas Alfonso X) Technoiogy wasnt better in The Muslim world, at all, gun powder, shipping, glass works such as eye glasses,, clocks, Steel, Mills, Sawing, Architecture....all those disciplines were pioneered by Catholic Europe.
She didnt fund a nation, Spain existed since the Visigoth Kingdom of Spain. How can you reconquer something that does not exist yet?,
Of course the territory we now call Spain existed long before Isabella. However, the gradual shift toward these territories beginning to regard themselves as a single political unit is something Isabella contributed significantly to.
ISABEL. ISABELLA ES ITALIANO
“Ferdinand was considered quite attractive at the time” me looking at his portrait 👀 me looking again 👀 because I don’t believe it
😆Well beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Perhaps being a prince without crippling signs of inbreeding was enough.
I like the fact that she claimed that she's kicking out Jewish people to keep her kingdom Catholic but she ordered those who left to leave behind Gold Silver and everything what was worth anything so they have been living there for more than thousand years and everything was stolen from them. She needed money😂
waiting for you to become Queen Eva!!
Don’t forget the fight over religion. 1:32
Don’t worry. This series covers the Spanish Inquisition. Just warming up…
Your facts are mixed!!
What are your credential's?
There will always be the negative comments. I think she’s brilliant. You make a comment but not one fact…pathetic
Can't wait for part 2!
It's so difficult to follow these times in the History of Spain, because all these ripples continue for so long. It all makes the History difficult to follow and a bit boring at times.
I`m struggling with ( at least ) 2 things. 1. Matrix Algebra and 2. History. Matrix Algebra is nowhere near as intimidating as it sounds. History. There are no Rules - so how on earth is anyone able to learn History ?
La Catolica
As a Catholic (and there are very few left, due to Vatican II and false popes)
Isabella is my hero. Ferdinand, much less so.
Catholics read Bible seeing typology.
So I see Isabella as Type of Blessed Virgin Mary, Great Age of Mary to come, once we get a Pope
Isabel made great achievements indeed being a female ruler in the late middle ages when men were dominant ,
however i like to think that the vast majority of muslims in Andalusia were Arabs not Moorish ( the rulers and the knights and elite ) and i don't say that because im arab .
The term “Moor” was a sloppy one at best and basically was used by Christians to describe anyone who was Muslim. A good number of those people were Arabs. 😉
They threw out the Muslims from Spain
This is covered later in the series
in mexico, when we name them both, we name HER, first. kinda important. it was castille, and not aragon, that payed for horrible s*it the spaniards did
Long awaited: another wonderful presentation.
How are the Franz Liszt and Django Reinhardt biogs coming?
And let us not forget Piaf, Billie Holiday and Janis....
I, to cut a story short, found some books in The English College, Valladolid, in which were sentences erazed and in their place written ( in pen with ink ) the opinions of members of the Order of Preachers, who were appointed as the `thought Police` of the day : The Spanish Inquizition.
With your little embodied whimper of identification at Isabella’s insistence on marriage equality, it became clear to me, if it hadn’t been before, how much this episode must have been personally important to you.
And you’re taking the time and effort to point out that observation says a lot about you.
Oh nice, your are so beautiful
u r sobonita
Thankfully the Turks conquered Constantinople, or else who knows… lol
Quantes tonteries, mare meva
DO NOT PROMOTE EVIL AS A GOOD THING
WTF what is wrong with you? I don't think you can honestly say that the torture and murder of innocent people adults and children can be seen in a positive light no matter how hard you try to frame it. The woman wasn't right in the head.
Too much Christianity and zesl
Well, being Middle Eastern, you should know the Arabs grabbed the Knowledge from those regions they conquered. Those were in Mesopotamia, which were the Assyrians which in very Aramaic (the language they spoke) meant "The Beginning". The Assyrians created the CRADLE OF CIVILIZATION. Arabs conquered those people, but that was because those regions still belonged to Assyrians. They couldn't convert them because they were Christians, and were resilient. Even the Maronites who are an extension of Assyrians and Phoenicians had constant civil wars against Arabs who are Muslims. They spread this false information that they are "Arab Christians" because people like Saddam Hussein, and other Arab Muslims. Especially those Kurds who came from what is called Afghanistan want to erase the indigenous people . Historically the Assyrians gave the first Laws, the Laws of Hammurabi, and the first steel, and wheel , even beer etc.... The Assyrians are prophetically going to be reclaiming their lands. just like the Jews, and Indigenous Egyptians, who are NOT Arabs, but Nubians, will be the 3 nations returning from Diaspora to their indigenous lands. In Isaiah, the chosen people, the Jews were the recent and first people returning from Diaspora, the Assyrians the first converts into Christianity, and are found still all over the world shall be 2nd, and thirdly, the Nubians. It is found in Isaiah chapter 19. The very word Astronomy was derived from Assyria. Arabs haven't done anything just steal as always. lol Romans and Greeks took everything from these ancient peoples, and added to it. That is why our founding fathers in America, took from all these great people, and created our constitution!!!
Mate I think your delusional ..but if it works for you ,,good luck
