Life journey

1. Treaty of the Bulls of Guisando1468 CE
   The Treaty of the Bulls of Guisando is the name of a treaty agreed on top of the hill of Guisando near the Bulls of Guisando on 19 September 1468, between Henry IV of Castile and his half-sister Isabella of Castile. The treaty granted Isabella the title of Princess of Asturias and so she became heiress presumptive to the Crown of Castile.
2. Siege of Burgos1475 CE
   The siege of Burgos was a siege of the castle of Burgos in the Kingdom of Castile between 1475 and early 1476. It was part of the War of the Castilian Succession. Isabella's supporters and the Aragonese successfully besieged the castle, which was held by Joanna's (Juana) supporters and the Portuguese.
3. Revolts in Segovia (1476)1476 CE
   The revolts that occurred in Segovia in 1476 was a conflict generated by the control of the Alcázar of Segovia.
4. Siege of Málaga1487 CE
   The 1487 siege of Málaga was an action during the Reconquest of Spain in which the Catholic Monarchs of Spain conquered the city of Mālaqa from the Emirate of Granada. The siege lasted about four months. It was the first conflict in which ambulances, or dedicated vehicles for the purpose of carrying injured persons, were used. Geopolitically, the loss of the emirate's second largest city—after Granada itself—and its most important port was a major loss for Granada. Most of the surviving population of the city were enslaved or put to death by the conquerors.
5. Treaty of Tordesillas1494 CE
   The Treaty of Tordesillas, signed in Tordesillas, Spain, on 7 June 1494, and ratified in Setúbal, Portugal, divided the newly discovered lands outside Europe between the Kingdom of Portugal and the Crown of Castile, along a meridian 370 leagues west of the Cape Verde islands, off the west coast of Africa. That line of demarcation was about halfway between Cape Verde and the islands visited by Christopher Columbus on his first voyage, thought then to be Cipangu and Antillia, but in fact Cuba and Hispaniola; the treaty itself does not mention Cipangu or Antillia.
6. Rebellion of the Alpujarras1499 CE
   The first rebellion of the Alpujarras of 1499–1501 was a series of uprisings by the Muslim population of the Kingdom of Granada, Crown of Castile against their Catholic rulers. They began in 1499 in the city of Granada in response to mass forced conversions of the Muslim population to the Catholic faith, which were perceived as violations of the 1491 Treaty of Granada. The uprising in the city quickly died down, but it was followed by more serious revolts in the nearby mountainous area of the Alpujarras. The Catholic forces, on some occasions led personally by King Ferdinand, succeeded in suppressing the revolts and inflicted severe punishment on the Muslim population.
