Queen Juana I of Spain was the daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella
and sister of Catherine of Aragon. She was contracted to marry
Philip the Fair, a known womaniser and political schemer, and fell
passionately in love with him at first sight. The marriage was very
passionate and stormy but his early death made it short-lived. When
her mother died Juana should have reigned as Queen of Castile but
she was callously denied power and status throughout her life, most
of which she spent imprisoned. by the three men in her life who
sought power for themselves: her husband Philip, her father
Ferdinand and her son Charles. She faced their relentless physical
and mental cruelty with courage and determination, her spirited
resistance earning her, unjustly, the nickname by which she is
remembered, Juana la Loca (Joan the Mad.)
