Juana of Castile

Juana of Castile, also known as Juana la Loca (Juana the Crazy), was a Spanish princess born in 1479. She was the daughter of Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon. Her life was marked by political marriage, complex family dynamics, and mental health struggles. Despite her claims to the throne, her father and later her son confined her for many years, fearing her influence. Her story is significant for illustrating the political instability in Spain during her time and the challenges faced by women in royal succession.
