Historical TV series: Isabel
 
From 2012 to 2014, Spanish television was broadcasting a wonderful series "Isabel", based on the life of Queen Isabel of Castile (Catholic). The creators presented Isabel's whole life, from childhood to death. They also focused on her private life, and while doing so, the viewers could follow Isabel's life full of success as a queen and full of suffering as a woman. The famous Queen Isabel is an example of a woman who decided on her future, became a queen, rebuilt and enriched her kingdom, introduced the Inquisition, expelled the Jews from the peninsula and explored the New World with the help of Christopher Columbus. Viewers could also see the private life of the queen, who was a mother to five children and a wife to equally famous Ferdinand II of Aragon. The TV series is distinguished by beautiful music created by Federico Jusid. The story consists of 3 seasons and 39 episodes directed by Jordi Frades. The Catholic Kings are portrayed by Michelle Jenner (Isabel) and Rodolfo Sancho (Ferdinand). It is worth noting that the TV show was extremely popular even outside of Spain and that it won many awards.
