The New Cambridge Modern History, Vol. 3

THE half century between 1559 and 1610 must assuredly rank as one of
the most brutal and bigoted in the history of modern Europe. The
massacre in Paris on St Bartholomew's day in 1572; the calculated
savagery of the duke of Alba's Council of Blood and the wild atrocities of
the Calvinistic Beggars in the Netherlands; the persecution of the Moriscos
in Spain—these were merely the more spectacular barbarities of an age
unsurpassed for cruelty until our own day.

Spain for the Sovereigns

Ambitious and unfaithful, Ferdinand longed to lead his troops against the Moorish strongholds. Isabella knew a united Spain and a glorious future could be theirs, but they must only share it together...

Daughters of Spain

With Spain now united, Ferdinand looked to his daughters to further his ambitions. All too often, Isabella found herself torn between his brilliant plans and her love for her children. During the last years of Isabella's reign it seemed there was a curse on the royal house which struck at the children of the sovereigns.
Tragedy followed tragedy - the Infanta Isabella, a broken-hearted widow; Juana, driven to madness by her husband's philandering; and the sorrow of parting with young Catalina, destined to become Katharine of Aragon, wife to Henry VIII and Queen of England ...
