The Habsburgs of Spain and the Tudors of England both had their share of larger-than-life characters, many of whom we will come to know on this trip. Ferdinand's death led to the ascension of the young Charles I to the throne, effectively founding the Spanish monarchy. They drove out the Moors, forcibly converted the Jews, and financed the expeditions of Christopher Columbus. Across the seas, Ferdinand and Isabella combined the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon to create a united Spain. In England, Henry VII defeated the last monarch of the House of York in 1485, ushering in the Tudor dynasty. The ruling dynasties of both countries, the Habsburgs (also spelled Hapsburgs) and the Tudors, had their roots in the 15th century. Two countries dominated Europe during the 16th century - Spain and its emerging rival, England.
