The Monarchs' joint motto
was “Tanto monta, monta
tanto”. The motto was
created by Antonio de
Nebrija and was an allusion
to the explanation of the
equality of the
monarchs: Tanto monta,
monta tanto, Isabel como
Fernando ("It's one and the
same, Isabella the same as
Ferdinand")
Their symbol was el yugo y
las flechas, a yoke and a
fasces. Y and F are the
initials of Ysabel (archaic
spelling) and Fernando.
