A smart question!
No, she didn't.

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.

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

Was she from the territory now known as Italy?

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.

Si, Senior!
Finalising the Reconquista, financing Columbus, and establishing the Spanish Inquisition are to her account.

What's the connection to Margaret of Denmark. Religion?

Where are you from, Hamish? I'm surprised that you've never heard of the Catholic Monarchs.

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.
