Ferdinand and Isabella were two
Spanish monarchs of opposite sex who
ruled over Spain for thirty years with
out a family jar. There was great
deal OF hloodshed in Spain during
their reign, but none of it escaped
from Ferdinand or Isabella, who were
mild, humane monarchs, opposed to
killing the members Of their immedi-
ate family for the sake of securing
scissors hold on the throne When the
student of history looks back upon
the number of foreign rulers who killed
off large fiocks of close relatives

ry tin scepter a little longer, he is
obliged to honor Ferdinand and lisa
bella for their moderation in this re-
spect.
Ferdinand and Isabella were not re-
lated except by marriage, but they al
ways treated each other with the ut
most respect and acted in public as if
they were pleased with the arrange
ment, their noble example being fol
lowed to this day in quite few in
stances. Ferdinand was the weaker
character of the two, as will be no
tieed by the absence of chin shown in
some of his recent photographs. He
was a vain man and one of the best

breakfast in an ermine bath robe. He
