Description

Juana of Castile, or Juanna la Loca

Juana was the eldest daughter of the Catholic Kings, Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella od Castile (and the elder sister of Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII's first wife), and become the queen of Castile after the death of her mother.

Juana became known as Joanna the Mad, because of its emotional disorders, which worsened with the affairs of her husband, Philip the Handsome, by whom she was completely in love.

Most historians now agree that she had melancholia, severe clinical depression, a psychosis, or a case of inherited schizophrenia. There is debate about the diagnosis that she was mentally ill considering that her symptoms were aggravated by non-consensual confinement and control by others who had assumed her royal powers.

I've already made some of her relatives as:

her sister, Isabella de Aragon: [link]
her sister, Maria de Aragon: [link]
her sister Catalina of Aragon:
as princess of Whales: [link]
as queen of England: [link]
