THE LIBRARY

“Those watching Isabella process through the cold streets of Segovia [in December 1474] could not know they were witnessing the first steps of a queen destined to become the most powerful woman Europe had seen since Roman times. ‘This queen of Spain, called Isabella, has had no equal on this earth for 500 years,’ one awestruck visitor from northern Europe would eventually proclaim, admiring the fear and loyalty she provoked amont the lowliest of Castilians and the mightiest of Grandees. This was not hyperbole. Europe had limited experience of queens regnant, and even less of successful ones. Few of those who followed Isabella have had such a lasting impact. Only Elizabeth I of England, Archduchess Maria Theresa of Austria, Russia’s Catherine the Great (outshining a formidable predecessor, the Empress Elizabeth) and Britain’s Queen Victoria can rival her, each in their own era. Only Isabella did this by leading a country as it emerged from the troubled late middles ages, harnessing the ideas and tools of the early Renaissance to start transforming a fractious, ill-disciplined nation into a European powerhouse with a clear-minded and ambitious woman at its centre. She was, in other words, the first in that still-small club of great European queens. To some she remains the greatest.”

Favorite Ruler in Her Own Right

--> Anne of Brittany, duchess of Brittany (b. 1477, r. 1488-1514)

Eldest daughter of the last Duke of Brittany, Anne became Duchess at her father’s death and from that point on fought to maintain the independence of her duchy. She married Charles VIII of France in 1491, during whose reign she was forcibly kept away from political matters both in Brittany and France. Following his death in 1498, she regained her independence as sovereign Duchess of Brittany, a role she held onto for the rest of her life. Her marriage to Louis XII of France in 1492 was made on more equal grounds, and she spent the rest of her life exercising her rights as ruler and fighting for the independence of her duchy. During her second tenure as Queen consort of France, she was a Renaissance patron courted by artists and writers of her time, with a special interest in Italian arts.
