Ferdinand and Isabella were the king and queen of Spain in the late fifteenth century A.D. They ruled over Castile and Aragon which later became the Kingdom of Spain. They were patrons of Christopher Columbus. After reconquering the small Moorish Kingdom of Granada, they established the Spanish Inquisition (1478) and expelled the Jews and Muslims from Spain in 1492.
Their empire was inherited by their grandson, Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, who united the Spanish Empire with the Burgundian Inheritance and the Habsburg lands in Austria.
