Queen who financed a 1492 voyage (8)

I believe the answer is:

isabella

(Other definitions for isabella that I've seen before include "Woman" , "Henry VIII's first mother-in-law" , "foreign girl" , "Wife of Ferdinand V" , "Spanish queen who was patroness to Columbus" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
