For me, humanism has been very positive. Far from an ‘absence’, it is an approach of meaning, purpose and clarity. As an enthusiast for literature and storytelling, I discovered some of my favourite authors and voices that I resonated with through literature were humanists and had communicated humanist themes, messages, and morals within their writing. I think these aspects of humanism – creativity, curiosity, empathy – can often be easily overlooked, but are very present within the arts.

[88] Systematically, they proceeded to take the kingdom piece by piece. In 1485 they laid siege to Ronda, which surrendered after only a fortnight due to extensive bombardment. [89] The following year, Loja was taken, and again Muhammad XII was captured and released. One year later, with the fall of Málaga, the western part of the Muslim Nasrid kingdom had fallen into Spanish hands. The eastern province succumbed after the fall of Baza in 1489. The siege of Granada began in the spring of 1491 and Muhammad XII finally surrendered at the end of the year. On 2 January 1492, Isabella and Ferdinand entered Granada to receive the keys of the city and the principal mosque was consecrated as a church.

Isabella began to rely more on the professional administrators than ever before. These men were mostly of the bourgeoisie or lesser nobility. The council was also rearranged and it was officially settled that one bishop, three caballeros, and eight or nine lawyers would serve on the council at a time. While the nobles were no longer directly involved in the matters of state, they were welcome to attend the meetings. Isabella hoped that forcing the nobility to choose whether to participate or not would weed out those who were not dedicated to the state and its cause.

With great political vision, Isabella took advantage of the moment and convoked courts at Madrigal-Segovia (April–October 1476) [51] where her eldest child and daughter Isabella was first sworn as heiress to Castile's crown.
