Synopsis

Queen’s Cross, the story of Isabella of Castile, Spain’s greatest monarch.

Her dedication to her people and her religion led to establishing Christian Europe as a powerful political force in the medieval world.

The epic re-conquest of Grenada from the Moors in 1492 is one of the most important events of European history.

Even today this defeat is referenced by Islamic leaders in their struggles against the West.
