There was a movie about her. She was either Spanish born or married to Spain. She's said to be crazy because of her stormy lust towards her husband, who (I think) started to ignore her and take on mistresses.

Can you help me out?

  1. Yeah, Juana la Loca.  She was Fernando and Isabel's daughter or Daughter in law.  I can't remember which, but she was called crazy because she was so in love with her husband (Phillip the Fair - Felipe el Hermoso), that rather than bury him when he was dead, she put him in a glass casket and travelled around the country with him.

    She was also the mother of Charles the Fifth of the Holy Roman Empire, btw.


  2. Yes, you are correct, it is Joanna of Castile. Joanna (November 6, 1479 – April 12, 1555), called Joanna the Mad, was Queen regnant of Castile and mother of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. She was the second daughter of Ferdinand II of Aragon, and Isabella of Castile, and was born at Toledo. The Castilian version of her name was Juana.

    In 1496 at Lille, Joanna was married to the Archduke Philip the Handsome, son of the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, and at Ghent in February 1500, she gave birth to future emperor Charles V. Joanna was said to pine day and night for her husband while he was overseas, and when she eventually joined Philip in Flanders, her passionate jealousy and constant suspicion of him made her notorious, if not necessarily beloved, in the local court.

  3. Juana (called "La Loca") was the daughter of Ferdinand and

    Isabella.

  4. Maybe Catherine of Aragon.  She was married to King Arthur, and after he died she married his brother King Henry, who went on to marry Anne Boelyn among others.
