Juana of Castile, the Mad

Juana de Castilla was born in Toledo on November 6, 1479 (the same year that his father was proclaimed king Aragon, Catalonia and Valencia) and died at Tordesillas in 1555. Daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella, the Catholic Monarchs.

This girl, curiously resembled his two grandmothers, surprisingly, have physically looked so much like Fernando's mother, that her daughter called "mother" and Queen Elizabeth called her "mother." To look like his grandmother, still lacked some time, and that similarity unites grandmother and granddaughter is crazy.

When Jane was a child still had a lot of religious vocation and also dominated the Latin.

According to the policy marriage who carried out the Catholic kings in 1495 was planned by the agreement of Antwerp a double bond with the Hapsburg, the heir of Ferdinand and Isabella marry Margaret (daughter of Maximilian), and Jane, the Archduke Philip, the firstborn of Maximilian. This agreement will change the life of the Infanta Juana, who at age 17 was sent to the states to marry her fiance.

Juana and Philip, surnamed the Fair, were for the first time on August 21, 1496, and as we reached, the attraction they felt for one another was overwhelming, so much so that consummated their marriage that night . Felipe Juana meant for everything in your life, loved him to madness. When they married, Felipe had a long love life, was a handsome gentleman at the time, sports and education, which earned him no problems being unfaithful to his wife. These infidelities resulted in Juana terrible jealousy, it is true that many women endured without talking and approaching it differently, for example Isabella, Fernando had his love affairs, including children out of wedlock. Hernando del Pulgar Ferdinand says: "

" And whatever you loved very much to the Queen, his wife, dabase, however, to other women. "

Ultimately married life between Philip and Juana was full of fiery approaches and periods of estrangement and jealousy.

Highlights of the life of Joan of its birth: that of his son Charles (future Charles I of Spain and V of Germany). To watch your husband went to a party, felt a terrible pain there and saying nothing went to the bathroom, where she gave birth to her son curious fact that Carlos was born in a toilet ... with the future that was ahead ... This shows that Juana was a woman, at least in the early years of marriage strong and determined.

When Juana became heir to the crown of his parents, Felipe was filled with greed, for it looked like the king of one of the major empires. They had to travel to Spain, but were delayed due to another pregnancy Juana. When they arrived they were proclaimed rulers of Asturias, Felipe but the English scene did not like the Catholic Kings and his son also liked too. So when Jane gave birth, Felipe went alone to Flanders. Given that Joan had a mental breakdown in the Castillo de la Mota, came out in her nightgown in the corridors shouting and desperate to progress her beloved husband. The Queen herself had to go looking for ra her daughter and got into a big argument. The Queen was aware that his daughter, as she said, was "upset." Jane went to Flanders and his mother died in 1504 and was proclaimed Queen Juana of Castile and Philip owner hopeful thought that would become King and not consort, because his wife's mental state, but this left the government of Castilla in the hands of his father through a letter. Philip learned of this and forbade any Castilian is closer to his wife.

In 1506 Juana and Felipe came to Spain after having another baby. Philip was afraid of losing the "crown" and detained Juana. The nobles who came to greet them could not see it, not even his father.

With all these developments, the state of Juana could not improved but still had the worst, he had the bitter drink offered him life and she could never overcome.
On September 25, 1506 died Philip the Fair, in a curious way: Felipe who had decided to leave Spain for one year, challenged the 17th of September to some gentlemen in the ball game. After he was offered a jug of cold water and Philip drank next day sick. As is evident, then rumors surfaced that he had been poisoned. Queen Juana
ordered that any woman could contemplate the body, ordered to take him to the Charterhouse of Miraflores, but not buried, and she went there twice to embrace her dead husband, who was now a rotting corpse.

Juana in November decided to move the body to Granada itself or accompany it. He ordered that the transfer was made only at night and that no woman could watch the coffin, in fact wanted to stop at a convent, but when he heard Juana sent out from there the body of her husband, because neither the nuns had to contemplate the coffin. Within all this madness, in the middle of the transfer of the remains of her husband, John returned to give birth, but this time without a win since his son would not know the father.

Juana Fernando's father, went to meet this, trying to convince that she leave to Tordesillas and let the procession come alone to Granada. But as Fernando knew he would not enter the convoy ordered to head for Tordesillas, without Jane's knowledge. When suspected what was happening, they stopped and spent several months in Arcos. The state of the Queen was getting worse, refused to wash or change clothes until he reached his father again and finally convinced her to go to Tordesillas. Thus, the queen and returned the body to move. Juana ordered that the coffin was placed Felipe so that she could see it from any window of your room. Even dead, Felipe Juana caused in the madness and the bitterness of jealousy.

Juana
Tordesillas remained until his death, when her children visited her on occasion, only sometimes recognized. His physical health was not bad and kept the title of Queen, but obviously could never perform their duties.

Before he died briefly regained lucidity, like it happened to her maternal grandmother. He died on April 12, 1555 unsigned will and before ordered his coffin next to Philip and they were both transferred to Granada.

This is the sad story of Juana of Castile, the mad, who suffered from love and jealousy to death and had a bitter life.
