* The marriage of royal cousins Ferdinand of Aragon (1452-
1516) and Isabella of Castille (1451-1504) had the effect of
introducing stability to both kingdoms, and they presided
over a Golden Age. The Inquisition, a state-controlled Cas-
tilian tribunal authorized by the Pope in 1478, soon
extended throughout Spain. Religious tolerance was denied
to hundreds of thousands of non-Christians and they were
expelled en masse from the country. But this was also an
era of exploration of the New World and Spain soon found
an outlet for the crusading energy that the war against the
Muslims had stimulated. Columbus's first voyage was in
1492 and Vasco Nunez de Balboa reached the Pacific in
1513. Magellan's expedition completed a circumnavigation
of the world soon after.
