Today most chess historians agree that the weak chess queen, named
"dame" in France as from the XIV century, changed to a powerful
chess queen in Spain in 1475. Around this year we also see a change
of the weak bishop to a strong bishop, according to the chess poem
Scachs d'amor. In order to strengthen our hypothesis of Isabella I
of Castile (Isabel la Catolica) we have written a book about the
new bishop and a book about Scachs d'amor in English. Concentrating
now on Virgin Mary in relationship with Isabella I of Castile we
observe that the Augustinian monastic Martin de Cordoba wrote in
1468 the work El Jardin de las donzellas. It was directed to
Princess Isabel I of Castile with the intention to contribute to
her education as future Queen. Cordoba was the first writer who
draws equivalencies between Isabella I of Castile and Virgin Mary,
which became one of her standard portrayals. Shorty thereafter we
see the appearance of a new powerful chess queen.
