In the 15th century, Juana, the most miserable queen of Castile in Europe, went mad by her husband's infidelity. Later, she was used by her father and put under house arrest by her son. She was imprisoned for 50 years and died alone in captivity.
In 1479, Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Fernando II of Aragon gave birth to her second daughter Juana, who was both intelligent and beautiful. Since her parents were kings, Juana lived a good life and received a good education.
Due to the death of Juana's sister and nephew, Juana became the first heir to Castile and Aragon.
Juana, Queen of Castile, known as Madwoman, was born in Toledo, the second daughter of King Fernando II of Aragon and Queen Isabelle I of Castile. She was queen of Castile and the mother of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor.
Juana was born on 6 November 1479 in Toledo, the capital of the Kingdom of Castile, as the third child and second daughter of Queen Isabelle I of Castile and King Fernando II of Aragon.
His parents are from the Rastamala family. Juana had a fair complexion, a pair of blue eyes, and her hair was somewhere between golden red and reddish brown, just like her mother and sister Catherine.
Her siblings include Queen Isabelle of Portugal, Juan, Prince of Asturias, Queen Maria of Portugal and Queen Catherine of England. Juana was a bright and hard-working child and an excellent student.
In order to conclude a meaningful marriage, Juana received education and formal training. As a princess, Juana was not expected to be the heir to the castile or Aragonese thrones, but she later inherited both thrones through the death of her original heirs.
Her academic education includes canon and civil law, genealogy and esoterics, grammar, history, language, mathematics, philosophy, reading, spelling, and writing. Juana read the works of many classical literary writers, including the Christian poet Prudencius Clemans and the ancient Roman statesman Seneca.
Juana's main mentor at the Castilian court was the Dominican friar Andrés de Miranda, the highly respected educator Beatrice Galindo (who was also a member of the Queen's Palace) and her Queen Mother.
Juana's royal education included court etiquette, dance, painting, equestrianism, manners, music, and needle skills including embroidery, needlework, and sewing.
She specializes in all the languages of the Iberian Romance: Castilian, Leon, Galician-Portuguese and Catalan, and is fluent in French and Latin.
Juana is also a highly skilled dancer and a talented musician who plays the percussion, hexastring and monoline.
At the age of 17, in order to deal with France and strengthen the alliance between Spain and Austria, Juana's parents promised her to Felipe, the son of Maximilian I of the Roman Empire.
From 1498 to 1501, Juana had three children, and she and her husband Felipe were appointed co-heirs of Castile.
In 1503, Felipe returned to his fiefdom in Flanders, and the pregnant Juana was left with her parents.
Unable to reunite with her husband and three children, Juana was devastated and soon gave birth to a second son, Ferdinand.
Juana again proposed to return to her husband and children, which was strongly opposed by her mother, Isabella I, who was at odds with her daughter.
A year later, Isabella and I finally gave in, and Juana returned to Flanders to reunite with her husband.
Juana eventually returns to her husband, only to discover that she has a lover, which greatly stimulates Juana to become crazy.
Juana's husband, Felipe, not only failed to treat his sick wife well, but also declared her mentally ill and imprisoned her.
Shortly after, Isabella I died, sparking a struggle between Juan's father, Fernando II, and Juan's husband, Filipe, for the Castile throne.
After the death of Isabella I, Juana was proclaimed Queen of Castile, and her father, Fernando II, was also the ruler of Castile.
Felipe was very unhappy with the actions of his father-in-law, Fernando II. He thought he should be the Un King of Castile.
There were violent clashes between Weng and his son-in-law. After negotiations, the two confessed to Juana's insanity and Felipe became king of Castile.
But Felipe died suddenly after three months as King of Castile.
Faced with the sudden death of her husband, Juana's mental illness became more severe. Ferdinand II imprisoned her daughter in the Castle of Toddhelia and served as King of Castile.
In 1516, Juan's father, Ferdinand II, died, and Juan's son Carlos served as King of Castile and Aragon. Since then, Spain has been established.
When Carlos declared his mother Juana insane and that he would become King of Castile, he still carried out his grandfather's policy.
Juana was imprisoned for 50 years by her father, husband and son before dying in captivity at the age of 76.
Juana's life was very miserable. Because she was queen of Castile, her husband, father and son all wanted to take power in her capacity.
For the sake of power, they all wanted to imprison her for half a century on the grounds that she was mentally ill, arguably the most miserable queen in Europe.
