Joanna of Castile (1479-1555) :
Called Joanna the Mad (Juana La loca), daughter of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile.Brothers: Isabella (Queen of Portugal), Prince John, Mary (Queen of Portugal) and Catherine (Queen of England).
Philip of Austria's wife and Queen of Spain,children:
Eleanor , Queen of Portugal and France
Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor
Isabella, Queen of Denmark
Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor
Mary, Queen of Hungary and Bohemia
Catherine, Queen of Portugal
The death of her only brother John, Prince of Asturias, her eldest sister Isabella , Queen of Portugal, and then of the latter's infant son Miguel, Prince of Asturias, made Joanna the heiress of the Spanish kingdoms. Her passionate jealousy and constant suspicion of her husband made her notorious.After Philip's death , Joanna was imprisoned in Tordesillas in 1509 until his death in 1555. Some historians argue she suffered from either manic depression or clinical depression, worsened by her situation and the treatment she received from her husband and father, both of whom wanted her out of the way in order to assume rulership for themselves. Joanna only nominally remained Queen regnant of Spain until her death.
