Her two older siblings and her nephew had to die for Juana to become heir to the territories of the Catholic Monarchs. She was not destined to reign, yet circumstances almost made her the most powerful queen of her time. Married to Philip of Habsburg, Duke of Burgundy, her marriage was deeply unhappy and her soul was ravaged by passionate love and jealousy. 

  She spent most of her life confined to a palace in Tordesillas while her son, Emperor Charles, reigned on her behalf, putting his name alongside hers on all the documents of his chancellery: King Charles and his mother, Queen Joann. Her five children became kings and queens in different European courts. They called her mad and removed her from public life, but was Joanna really mad? Did she want to rule her kingdoms?

  Was she a victim of the lust for power of her husband, her father and her son? The life of Joanna, Queen of Castile and Aragon, continues to arouse interest and controversy centuries after her death.
