HISTORY: The Order of Isabella the Catholic (Spanish: Orden de Isabel la Catolica) is a Spanish civil order in which membership is granted in recognition of services that benefit the country. The Order is not open to Spaniards exclusively, and it has been used to award foreigners.
The Order was created on 14 March 1815 by King Ferdinand VII in honor of Queen Isabella I with the name of 'Royal and American Order of Isabella the CatholiC' with the intent of 'rewarding the firm allegiance to Spain and the merits of Spanish citizens and foreigners in good standing with the Nation and especially in those exceptional services provided in pursuit of territories in America and overseas'. The Order was reorganized by royal decree on 26 July 1847, as the modern'Royal Order of Isabella the CatholiC' with a broader focus than the Americas.
