The main objective of this work, was to elaborate on the topic of Isabella I. of Castile. The main focus was an emphasis on historical facts, of which I derived from Czech and foreign literatures and historical compendiums. The first part describes the political and economic situation in the Ibe c y I b ' coronation.

This kingdom was formed in 1238 by Muḥammad Ibn Naṣr, who proclaimed city of Granada as the capital center of the monarch's power. Monarchs of the Kingdom of Granada were protected by theirs allies kingdoms, Castile and Aragon; but at the same time were trying to find support in their befriended kingdoms from the north Africa with which they had more in common. The habitants of Granada formed heterogeneous society with complicated relationships. Different religious groups contributed to the multilingualism of the population. The decreased activity of the Christian reconquista during the second part of 14th century enabled the Kingdom of Granada to enter the period of its golden age. In this time Granada became an important cultural...
