Where are you from, Hamish? I'm surprised that you've never heard of the Catholic Monarchs.
Netherlands. My family noped out on religion generations ago, and history was never very interesting to me.
Generations ago? That's amazing! I didn't grow up in a religious household either. It's more of a basic history thing.

Si, Senior!

Finalising the Reconquista, financing Columbus, and establishing the Spanish Inquisition are to her account.
She established it? I never expected that

What's the connection to Margaret of Denmark. Religion?
Unification of Scandinavia = the Reconquista
The conquest of Granada plus the personal union with Aragón and the conquest of Navarre are similar in a way if taken all together.

Hmmm, not a lot of options left I think.
- The 3 Andorran queens qualify, but seem very obscure.
- Margaret I of Denmark/Norway/Sweden.
- Several of the Italian rulers qualify.
- Claudine of Monaco.
- Beatrice of Portugal, unless the dispute disqualifies her.
- Isabella I of Castille.
- Joanna of Castille.
- Several of the Navarre rulers qualify.

None really familiar to me. I will have a guess and say Margaret I who united Scandinavia.

Probably just the regnal number.

I think the only candidates where their birtplace is known to be within current EU are:

Jeanne d'Albret of Andorra

Beatrice of Portugal

Isabelle of Castille

Joanna of Castille

Joan I of Navarre

Blanche I of Navarre

Blanche II of Navarre

Eleanor of Navarre

Joan III of Navarre = Jeanne d'Albret

Of these the only links with Margaret of Denmark I can see are

Beatrice (reigned at same time)
Jeanne d'Albret whose mother was called Margaret.


On the basis that Beatrice queenship is disputed and Jeanne d'Albret arguably better known I will guess Jeanne d'Albret (also Joan III of Navarre).

Sorry to waste a question if I'm wrong.

It's not Margaret I, but close... Can't say exactly how close, but close in some sense, not necessarily geographically.
