Question

Was"Juana la loca" really crazy or just obsessed with her handsome husband?

Answer 1

Most historians believe she suffered from schizophrenia, and this weakness was ruthlessly exploited by the people closest to her: her husband, her father, and her son. She had no friends or confidants. They all lied to her, kept her in the dark (metaphorically and literally), and used her unscrupulously for their own power plays. Locked away and imprisoned, she was needed by each of them to legitimize the claim to the throne. Nominally, Joanna remained queen of Castile until her death.
