She gives an overview of the tumultuous history of the crown of Spain, the environment in which Ferdinand and Isabella united the crowns of Aragon and Castile. She also talks about the history of Spanish Jewery and the earliest roots of the Inquisition. Zev gives a brief post show reacting to her account on historical events.
