Question

I have a project to do and I need to know if shes hispanic. Ive searched and searched, but im not sure plz help!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Hispanic is generally applied to Spanish Americans. Isabella knew nothing about America. She was Iberian, and Castilian. As a matter of fact I never heard the word Hispanic until I was about 30.

Answer 2

Yes, she was, it just means Spainish ancestry.

Answer 3

"Hispanic" literally means "from Hispania" - that is, from Spain or Portugal.  Isabella was from Castile, one of the precursor kingdoms to modern Spain.  Hence, she was Hispanic.

Answer 4

Isabella I (April 22, 1451 – November 26, 1504) was Queen regnant of Castile and Leon. She and her husband, Ferdinand II of Aragon, laid the foundation for the political unification of Spain under their grandson, Carlos I of Spain (Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor).

The Castilian version of her name was Isabel, which traces etymologically to Hebrew Elisth or 'Elizabeth'. In Germanic countries, she is usually known by the Italian form of her name, 'Isabella'. Likewise, her husband is Fernando in Spanish, but Ferdinand in other languages. The official inscription on their tomb renders their names in Latin as "Helizabeth" and "Fernandus".

Pope Alexander VI named Ferdinand and Isabella "The Catholic Monarchs". She is also known as Isabel la Católica.

Spain family tree}} Isabella was the last monarch of the Trastámara dynasty established by Henry II of Castile.

Isabella expelled the Jews from Spain and made the Inquisition into a powerful institution whose main victims were Jewish conversos. However, like a great part of Iberians in general and most of Iberian nobility, she had some Jewish ancestry: three of her great-great-grandparents had Iberian (Sephardic) Jewish roots.[1]

Answer 6

Duh, of Course she's Hispanic, in the the truest sense of the word. She was Queen of Castile from a fairly long line, and of Spain after she wed the king of Aragon.

Of course, she was a purebred European, and that is not quite what you yanks mean by "Hispanic", which usually means Spanish speaking Americans from South of the US/Mexico border, usually with a fair amount of Indian, or even African or other blood in their family trees.

Answer 7

In the proper sense of the word, yes she was. Though perhaps today she might be known as an Herspanic?
