Queen Hatshepsut
b. c. 1508 BC
d. c. 1458 BC

Queen Hatshepsut, the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Ancient Egypt, generally regarded as one of the most successful female pharaohs of Egypt, reigning longer than any other female ruler of an indigenous dynasty.

Hatshepsut dressed as a man and wore the traditional false beard of pharaohs to indicate that she was pharaoh and ruled Egypt in her own right. In June 2007 a mummy was identified as that of Hatshepsut through DNA.

Her Mortuary Temple complex, designed by Senemut, is considered to be among the great buildings of the ancient world.

Isabella of Castile
b. 4-22-1451; Castile
d. 11-26-1504; buried in Granada

Isabella of Castile's marriage to Ferdinand of Aragon politically unified Spain; together they drove out the Moors and presided over the notorious Inquisition, an ethnic cleansing of anyone not of Catholic faith, and earned the name the “Catholic Monarchs”.

Their youngest daughter, Catherine of Aragon, was the first wife of Henry the VIII (their daughter Mary I of England, became known as “Bloody Mary” for her persecutions of Protestants), another daughter, Juana (“the Mad”), was the mother of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor.

Isabella is also responsible for financing Columbus' voyage and later explorations to the New World. One could think that the conquistadors treatment of the indigenous peoples of the New World was an extention of the Inquisition.
