  1. One of her daughters, Katherine, married Prince Arthur of England, son of Henry VII. When he died, she married his brother who became Henry VIII, had a daughter Mary, who became known as Bloody Mary for her persecution of Protestants.

    Another daughter Joanna, known as Juana La Loca (The Crazy One), married the Hapsburg ruler Philip I, and gave birth to Charles V, Holy Roman Emporer and King of Spain (as Charles I). Interestingly, Charles had a son Philip who married Bloody Mary. They had no children. Joanna and Philip also had Eleanor, Isabella, Catherine, Mary, and Ferdinand I (who took over as King of Spain and Holy Roman Emporer when Charles abdicated). The women intermarried into the Royal Families of Europe.

    Her daughers Isabel and then Maria married Manuel of Portugal and continued the Royal family of Portugal.

    Her son Juan died before he could have children.


  2. Which Isabella do you mean? The first or the second? *If* you mean the second, she has had at least 259 descendants including the current Spanish Royal Family as well as the Legitimist French Royal Family, the Silician-Neapolitan Royal Family and some other princes, among others.

    If you mean Isabella I of Castile and Leon, wife of Ferdinand II of Aragon, I have numbers accounting for almost 51,000 known descendants in 21 generations.

  3. Although Isabella I of Castile had five children, only two daughters Infanta Joanna of Castile and Infanta Maria of Aragon had many surviving issues. Therefore any modern descendants of Isabella will be through the female-line. Most of Isabella grandchildren married into royal house of Portugal, Denmark, Bohemia and Hungary.
