This book examines the deep and lengthy crisis of legitimacy
triggered by the death of Prince Juan of Castile and Aragon in 1497
and the subsequent ascent of Juana I to the throne in 1504.
Confined by historiography and myth to the madwoman's attic, Juana
emerges here as a key figure at the heart of a period of tremendous
upheaval, reaching its peak in the war of the Comunidades, or
comunero uprising of 1520-1522. Gillian Fleming traces the
conflicts generated by the ambitions of Juana's father, husband and
son, and the controversial marginalisation and imprisonment of
Isabel of Castile's legitimate heir. Analysing Juana's problems and
strategies, failures and successes, Fleming argues that the period
cannot be properly understood without taking into account the long
shadow that Juana I cast over her kingdoms and over a crucial
period of transition for Spain and Europe.
