accompany the Armies in the field, like horses, especially
Palominos. ( they are called ysabellas in her honor in
Spanish-speaking countries) she also wore armor as a crowned female
knight- yes a Queen in Armor- look at the effigy on her tomb ( she
did not die in the field, thank God but of natural causes_.
Isabella also founded the first ( and horse drawn) ambulance corps
in the Spanish Army- a humanitarian advance. Horse-drawn ambulances
accompanied the troops and would have been stacked in the
organization along with supply or logistics wagons- There was a
fine article about the (Queen behind Columbus) years back in the
Reader"s Digest and the facts checked out. by the way she did not
sell her Royal Jewels to back Columbus- these were state property-
could not be sold.
