	Catholic Monarchs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Catholic Monarchs (Spanish: los Reyes Católicos) is the collective title used in history for Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon.
		Ferdinand and Isabella were noted for being the monarchs of the newly-united Spain at the dawn of the modern era.
		To replace the courts, the Catholic Monarchs created the Royal Council, and appointed chief magistrates (judges) to run the towns and cities.

	The Catholic Monarchs. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The unity of Spain was possible after the marriage of the Catholic Monarchs in 1464.
		The search for unity did not stop with the final military gesture of 1492 but was prolonged in pursuit of religious and cultural uniformity, culminating in the expulsion of the Jews who refused to convert in the same year that the Reconquest was completed, and in the ensuing expulsion of the Muslims.
		The Spanish monarchy had a foreign policy influenced by the creation of a permanent state, served by functionaries and diplomats, shaped by a unitarian concept, which was both flexible and confederal, of the monarchical institution.

	Britannia: Monarchs of Britain
		William III (William of Orange), born in 1650, was the son of William, Prince of Orange, and Mary Stuart (daughter of Charles I).
		The inability of James II to work with Parliament, combined with his reckless Catholic appointments, brought both the political and religious spheres of the monarchy under fire again.
		James established an alliance with Catholic France; arrested Archbishop Sancroft and six other bishops for failing to proclaim the Catholic faith; tampered with private property and historic rights; and produced a male heir after abandoning Anglicanism for Catholicism, which destroyed Parliament's hopes that the crown would pass to the Protestant children of James' first marriage.

	CNS STORY: Is blue blood bad for holiness? Monarchs rarely make the cut
		The Catholic Church's calendar of saints does have a fair number of royal males, including: the Roman emperor St. Constantine, St. Stephen of Hungary, St. Louis IX of France, St. Henry II of Germany, St. Vladimir of Kiev and St. Edward the Confessor of England.
		The kings were declared saints before the 16th century when Pope Sixtus V centralized and codified the process for identifying and investigating the lives of those proposed for recognition by the universal church.
		Jesuit Father Paolo Molinari, one of the leading Catholic postulators, said he did not think monarchs were underrepresented at all, if one considers the percentage of monarchs among all Catholics.

		The titles Catholic King and Catholic Queen are awarded by the Pope as head of the Roman Catholic Church to monarchs who in the eyes of the papacy embody Catholic principles in their personal lives and state policies.
