Ferdinand V (1452–1516) ( Ferdinand the Catholic) King of Castile and León (1474–1504), of Aragon (as Ferdinand II) (1479–1516), of Sicily (1468–1516), and of Naples (as Ferdinand III) (1504–16). He became joint king of Castile and León after marrying Isabella I in 1469, and inherited Aragon from his father, John II, in 1479. After he and Isabella conquered the Moorish kingdom of Granada in 1492, they ruled over a united Spain. In 1492 they sponsored the voyage of Christopher Columbus to the New World, expelled the Jews from Spain, and initiated the Spanish Inquisition. After Isabella's death (1504), Ferdinand acted as regent in Castile for their insane daughter, Joanna, and later for her son, Charles I (who succeeded Ferdinand and ruled as Emperor Charles V).
