So touching to see the royal faces coming alive again. Excellent music. I got gooseflesh.
Get a life!!
She wasn't mad, she was emotionally abused and betrayed by her husband and father who wanted the power
There was mental depression in that family though. Juana did inherit depression from her mother Isabella. She was most likely Bipolar. And obviously there were no treatments 500 years ago. With all the tragedies in her life it compounded her mental and emotional issues. She wasn't Mad though. Unstable at times yes.
It is hard when the men of your life instead of protect you and empowering you, they betray you.
What the hell, she lived a life of a rich woman of that time. Only she was not allowed to reign. She live more than 70 years. Her father was far more prepared to reign that her, obviously.
@@Alexs.2599 Not from her mother, but from her grandmother, Isabella's mother. Her mental inestabilitty was well known by her daughter Isabella who sadly saw later the same signs in her own daughter, Jane.
@@pandoraysucaja10 Yes that's what I mean. Isabella did not have depression herself but her mother Isabella of Portugal had severe postpartum depression. She probably carried the genes for it and past it down to her daughter Juana.
Joanna was a beautiful woman. Such a tortured soul and betrayed by those who should have loved her.
She was also an intelligent lady who had the sense to question the Catholic Church & its crazed practices of torture to those who wouldn't become one of them.
Yes.
She was very beautiful and in the last picture, she definitly looks like Winona Ryder. Although Phillip was not ugly, he was overrated and had a stoner look. When I read her biography, the reason she couldn't make it as queen was because she was not educated to become one. Also, it didn't help that people she loved betrayed her, instead of helping her. She did suffer from mental illness, yes part of it was genetic, but the other part was due to circumstances. Had her siblings not passed away, her life as a empress consort would've been better.
Yeah I think it's either the fact that they had different standards or that people of the time overexaggerated the looks. For example King Henry VIII is described as a 'looker' when it todays time he would most likely be considered average or below.
She certainly was an attractive woman. Her story is so heartbreaking. I hope
you can show us her children soon. Thanks again for another great video.
Era guapa, tenía fama de guapa. De hecho al bicho de Felipe le gustó mucho Juana
@@rhrabadan
Eres de Espania? I can speak, read in Spanish but, my writing no bueno.
I would love to see portraits of her children. Defintly a pretty lady to attract power-hungry men like Phillip and Henry vii
@@leticiagarcia9025 si, soy español
And her husband still cheated on her
She was beautiful, but Philip the handsome was Philip the unfaithful too and he made her suffer too much.
Gracias por tu trabajo. Juana era más bella como mujer que Felipe como hombre. Lástima que nació en una época en la que no se conocía medicación alguna para su enfermedad y que él no fuese digno de tanto amor.
She was also such an intelligent lady unlike the dummies who blindly followed the Catholic Faith without questioning.
@@jamellfoster6029 And what does the Catholic faith have to do with his madness? Weren't there other queens or kings who were locked up for insanity in Protestant countries? Please give an apropiate answer o remain in silence with your 16th century prejudices
@@astrofabio68 how about Maria Eleonora of Brandenburg, Queen of Sweden? a protestant country. her story with her husband can be sort of mirror for Juana, even worse, since she showed much more intense and obvious obsessiveness and traumatized her daughter as well and you know what happened? she was also locked up, but not forever. once everyone were sure that she doesn't do any harm, she was freed, even had more freedom than before, since she could go to her mother country and back and all this time, still was emotional and sad. but authorities which weren't even her flesh and blood family, and of a protestant kingdom, showed far more mercy on her and allowed her to move on. compare that to Juana's Catholic flesh and blood family
Beautiful woman with a tragic life. Thank you.
Shows spirit in her eyes and face. Too bad it was extinguished by her parents, husband, and even son. Too tragic. ☹️☹️
Phillip is the kind of person that thinks that they're truly beauties just because they're blue-eyed blondes.
Juana was far way more attractive than him, even though been dark eyed and having dark hair (unlike her mother Isabel and sister Catalina).
she actually did have light hair like her mother and sister and an insane resemblance to Catherine (her sister) only her eyes were dark. but yeah, she was far more attractive than Phillip
Ni Juana era loca, ni Felipe era hermoso.
Amen!
🤣
Así es, él era un hombre común y ella solo una tonta enamorada 💘 si ella hubiera tenido el amor sano de su padre, de mayor no hubiera estado mendigando amor 😍
👋🏻 👩🏼 Saludos cordiales desde el maravilloso y mágico país de los Ynkas 🌞 Perú 🇵🇪
Muy cierto. Very true.

I think Joanna suffered with Philip and she was used by Philip and her family 😢😢😢 i hope some day redeem her history. Thanks for amazing video ☺️☺️ Joanna was gorgeous ❤️
God bless the soul of Joanna of Castile!
❤️ Sounds beautiful!!!
House of Trastamara...not french, not Austrian but true Spanish.

Wrong comment section 😑
@@julioalbertoherrera1339 Thank you very much for that information. I liked it so much I made a screen clip of it to save it!
@@Mel16Ish La casa de Trastámara fue la última casa Real auténticamente española. Aunque la figura del rey siga siendo un símbolo hasta el día de hoy, se puede afirmar que la entrada de los borbones significó la abolición de las coronas de Castilla y Aragón.
Thank you for this! One of my favorite tragic historic figures - she and her little sister, Katalina, better known as Katharine of Aragon - sure had sad lives.
Would it be possible to see the real face of Queen Zenobia of Palmyra? This was a woman who took on the might of the Roman Empire, and lived to tell the tale.
She was at first jealous, then grieving. She was never crazy.
Amazing she Is pretty
What a dramatic life and sad end Juana of Castille had. From infancy she was used by those that were supposed to have protected her, starting with their parents, followed by her husband and finally, her son Charles, who forced her tried to force her abdicate the throne of Castille upon him and kept her locked in a convent. The children of Queen Isabel and Ferdinand of Aragon had dramatic endings them all, not only Juana. Catherine of Aragon ended her days alone, locked in an English castle and Maria died giving birth to a son. The called Catholic Kings used their children to forge alliances with other European royal houses and expand the influence of Spain in Europe. I wonder if it was worth it.
Her madness was inherited from her Portuguese grandmother (on the side of her mother)
Joanna had blue eyes and reddish hair and she was almost identical to her sister Catherine.
Not trying to get too political here, but isn't it funny that whenever a female Prince stands up for themselves, they are considered mad?
Quite right but she was a PRINCESS, (correct title as she was a female), and then a Queen to boot! Difficult to assert yourself in the patriachy.
She wasn’t standing up for herself. She had the opportunity to reign Spain instead of Charles, and she wasted the opportunity. She didn’t want to reign and let Charles to reign. She was not what people expected of her.
@@etiam9473 good point
Well no everybody wants to rule. Some just want a hammock and a margaritas. Nothing wrong with that.
She is considered mad because she exhumed her deceased husband and carried his corpse around....
Donna bellissima ma molto sfortunata....
Tenía fama de bella, de hecho dicen que se parecía a su abuela paterna, la madre de Fernando. Tanto se parecía que Isabel la Católica llamaba cariñosamente a su hija Juana "Suegra"
Hoy, siglos después, y analizando los hechos, existe la teoría de que Juana tenía un carácter complicado pero de loca, nada. Es posible que ella misma matara a Felipe, quien la engañaba en su propia cara con quien se le cruzara. Por carambolas del destino se convirtió en reina de Castilla y Felipe era un un vivillo y abusivo. Por qué paseó su cadáver por todo el reino y no lo sepultó por diez años? Para que su padre no le concertara un nuevo matrimonio ya que su esposo estaba "de cuerpo presente"... Lo enterró cuando su hijo mayor, Carlos, llegó a España y fue su apoyo. Y digo apoyo porque legalmente, Juana reinó sobre Castilla alrededor de cincuenta años. Y sí, tener tanto poder en aquella época y ser mujer... implicaba tener que rebuscarse para no hacer lo que otro decía y al final te llamaran loca...
RhondaGrinder: I love it when I hear someone is not ashamed to has a mental illness. I have a loved one with schizoaffective and she has a hard time acknowledging it. God bless you and so proud of you. You're strong and very smart.🥰
Juana La Bella 🌹 de España!
Excellent work and video Panagiotis 👍🏼👍🏼
Big hug from London Ontario 🇨🇦
That is so sad. A woman stripped of power because of her mental health (not even something dangerous to those around her). A tale as old as time
The issue is not with stripping her of her powers (it is dangerous to rule and make decisions in a state of mental health). But the issue is, it was WRONG for them to imprison her in the convent.
What's even worse is her father's actions after isabel's death. He took the throne of Castile, not because of Joanna's mental illness, but because he still wanted to reign as King of Castile now in his own right. By saying that Juana was unstable, he acted as her mouth piece and was able to do what ever he wished because he was acting on "the Queen's will". He renegged on the second half of Catherine's dowry, and ignored her pleas for help.
@@MarcosCalebMarketing What would you have had them do with her? She demonstrated a complete inability and unwillingness to perform her office after the death of her husband. It would have been very dangerous to have her running around loose, giving plotters a tool to use, or perhaps, challenging the rule of Fernando on some issue. They didn't simply smother her in her sleep or poison her, but rather let her live out a long life. It seems to me they were being as kind as they could have been in the circumstances. Someone above said Fernando loved his daughters and the convent solution seems proof of that.
@@jamiegagnon6390 what you're saying isn't just wrong and ignorant words of a Ferdinand Fan which I think are so much in Spain, but untrue as well! even if Juana was unstable, still she could live a normal life by being the nominal queen, something her awful father took from her! you think having her locked in the convent was kindness? I wish to see your face if somehow your own flesh and blood turn against you and have you locked up in a huge palace with so much rooms, only in a windowless room, where not even your prisonguards treat you well, something even your child, who's the only one who has allowed to be with you, has terrible memories of years later. yes, even Catherine described how horrible that prison was and asked for her mother to be treated better! that's the kind of father you're defending? I wish for him to burn in hell and you to experience similar thing to see the extant of your own nature
Wow... I read her story several years ago and was always intrigued how she would have looked like in real life.... Thanks Panagiotis.... your videos are always amazing and a real treat!!!!
STUNNING BEAUTIFUL LADY who lived a VERY HORRIBLE life being put away because she was "MAD". MENTAL HEALTH was considered that a person was "CRAZY" back then. I am a person who has BIPOLAR DISORDER & BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER, & mental illness runs in my family. I FEEL SO BAD FOR QUEEN JOAN of SPAIN because she SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN HELP & NOT BE PUT AWAY somewhere!!! UNFORTUNATELY they didn't have the medicine, doctors and hospitals to help her like they do now. RIP QUEEN JOAN.
Also mental illness were not understood in those time. Let along have treatment. Only now Thanks GOD for that.
Amazing and she outlived her sister, Katherine of Aragon.
yes, and she too had a terrible life. Poor things.
And Juana even named her daughter after her sister.
OMG!!!! Please tell.me you are gonna do king charles the 2..the "ugly" king!!!! About time!! The Spanish monarchy!🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃

@@panagiotisconstantinou yes😊
Yeah, i am especially curious on Charles ii.
And hope it doesnt break the program.
🤣🤣🤣
Joanna and her little sister Katherine... I just feel sorry for both of them, albeit for different reasons. Joanna was perfectly justified in lashing out at her unfaithful husband, who let's be honest was hardly what I would call "handsome"; he wasn't ugly, but I fail to see his appeal and that he consistently cheated on his beautiful, devoted wife makes him even less appealing.
Jenny deserved a good husband, like Kate deserved the many children that she wanted so badly...!
Having his own daughter declared unfit as leader could not have been easy for Fernando...! I can't begin to imagine the resistance that she put up. If she really wasn't a capable leader, I'm just sorry that it came to this and that he had to put the well-being of the realm over the well-being of his daughter.
Philip I was handsome but that does not mean he wasn't a complete shitbag. Even his own father, Emperor Maximilian, preferred literally anyone over him.
As for Fernando having declared Juana a lunatic...to put it simply, he didn't.
All he claimed was that she was "unfit" to rule. The reason was kept out of court records and only divulged under privilege to the Cortés. When Juana and Philip I disembarked in Castile to press their rights, Fernando gave them the throne and left for Aragon (because he was literally fighting a war with the other european juggernauts).
When Philip I died just months later, Juana remained the only Sovereign. Her reign was SO bad (she refused to sign legislation, or engage in statecraft in any capacity) that the Cortés pleaded Fernando to come back and set up a regency for Juana's son; Charles. The year Fernando got took over Castile, was literally called "the Green Year" by the people of Castile because that's how bad Philip's and Juana's reign was.
Fernando confined Juana in the fortress of Tordesillas because he can't act as regent with the threat of a mentally challenged Queen looming over him. He literally said "Sending my daughter into Tordesillas was more draining than facing the French cannons in battle".
Fernando loved his daughters (arguably more than Isabella, if their correspondences with him is anything to go by).
When Isabella opted to curb the curriculum for her daughters (only Languages and Embroidery) compared to that of her son (Languages, Architecture, Logic, Statecraft etc...) to ensure they would never become a viable threat to him like she was to her brothers; Alfonso and Henry, it was Fernando who intervened and ensured the girls got an education the same as their son.
People sympathize with Juana and demonize Fernando in the process, but no one talks about Philip II doing the exact same thing to his son; Charles.
It wasn't a personal vandetta or power hungriness. It's all for the good of the realm, which is set to lose the most with a unstable ruler at it's head.
@@princepscivitatis4083 none of these shitty excuses, justify what both Fernando and Phillip II did to their own children! they weren't forced to leave their kingdoms in the hands of their mentally ill kids, but they shouldn't have done that much cruelty to them, either! Juana could be the nominal queen of Castile until her death, but would it hurt anyone if she just had a normal life, instead of getting imprisoned? a century after this event, the Queen consort of Sweden was also obsessed with her husband and kept his corpse, hell she even traumatized her daughter by doing so! and yet authorities there, just kept her locked until she can recover and calm down a bit, then freed her once she was able to live a normal life, despite being extremely sad! and funny how those who showed such a mercy to her weren't even her blood family! would it kill Juana's family to show that much mercy?
Thanks for making this. 😊
Exellent work, Gracias.
Wow ...I'm away for more than a month .Well done again .👍👍👍👍👍

Genial 🌺✨🙏
Love these images.
Mr Constantinou allows us once again to evesdrop on our century's old world heritage. What pity it is to see some of the people who were queens or kings had mental disorders and were imprisonned like Joanna. We can only glimpse at what they must have looked like and it would be so strange to see these kings and queens today in our world, because many times they were young people in their twenties and thirties. We can see that our civlization was a battleground because fighting was noble and many a nation went to war because a royal felt insulted.
She was a victim of her love for her husband and her father...
Her story is fascinating!
Would love to see you do the burgundians!
Was she really "mad" or was she called that by men to destroy her reputation and credibility as a powerful queen?! I mean she was queen a LONG time.
She slept with the corps of her dead husband under her bed...
You simpleton.
@@timmorin6657 Quote your source for that, please. It's black legend.
@@LetThemGrumbIe Not, was a fact. However, you can find a good reason for that: by law, while her husband wasn't officially buried, she can't be married again, so it's possible that she used that tactic to control her destiny.
P. D. The corpse was in a coffin, of course.
@@CBOANDALUCIA Can you quote your source so I can look into it, please?
I know she was afraid his body was going to be stolen, which was a real possibility and part of the reason she set off on that trip and why she decided she wanted to see it buried. But her father intercepted her before she could finish and sent her to Tordesillas to rest.
@@LetThemGrumbIe Do you speak Spanish? If not, it would be difficult.
Thank you! I only wish the background music were more authentic to set the mood. Joanna/Joan/Juana is a very mysterious historical figure since her rebellious nature ran counter to the acceptable, stringent rules women in the Middle Ages and Renaissance were supposed to unquestioningly follow. Joanna and her sisters, including Katherine of Aragon, were steeped in philosophy, theology, foreign languages, and military strategy to insure they would make wise consorts to the kings they were to marry. Mental illness did run in her mother's, Isabella of Castile's family. Isabella's mother, Isabella of Portugal, suffered from clinical depression, especially following childbirth, and was confined to a convent for the rest of her life.
Joanna was spirited and headstrong. She became skeptical of Roman Catholicism--perhaps disgust with the cruelty of the Spanish Inquisition--and Isabella had her tortured for heresy. So, Joanna's predisposition to depression could have been amplified by post-traumatic stress from the horrors she endured.
You forgot to include Jeanne!
No one in her time would have called her Joanna. Her name in French Jeanne much more likely to have been used.
Her horrible Father was even worse to her than her husband.
Kinda seems like Joanna/Juana the Mad was actually just Joanna/Juana the Sad, don't it?
Like Spanish,proud of our history
Joanna was beautiful. Catherine of Aragon and Isabella were also beautiful.
She is so beautiful
WoD music nice
It's absolutely amazing at how
lifelike they look. And also very
spooky. ☺️ 😳
The nicknames are wrong, Juana La Loca, The Mad, wasn´t so crazy, nor Felipe el Hermoso, The Handsoe, was so beautiful. The beautiful one was Juana and the one with the crazy politis regarding the interest of Castile, the kingdom of her wife, was Felipe. Juana was as pretty and smart as her sisters, maybe not a beauty to win a pageant, but pretty enough to attract attention. And like his sisters and his mother Queen Elizabeth, he had a good education and culture, at least equal to that of the most cultured male ruler in Europe at that time. Juana was not insane as we understand her today, she was probably hypersensitive and prone to depression. Juana could never bear her husband's infidelities, although at that time they hardly mattered, but perhaps that makes her more contemporary. Being already secluded, around 1520 there was an uprising in Castile with great popular support because the parliament opposed the claims of the Flemish nobles who accompanied their grandson Carlos to support his candidacy to be appointed German emperor. The money they claimed to be taxed in Castile crown was huge. The rebels went to look for her and asked for her support as Queen of Castile that she still was, she listened to them and with good reasons she refused to support an uprising against her son. That does not make a her an insane woman. Castile, and Spain as a whole, would have fared much better in every way if they had not spent their resources supporting Flemish interests in the German Empire.
Felipe el Hermoso, on the other hand, can be seen perfectly in the portraits that already had that prominent lower jaw typical of the Habsburgs.
Felicitaciones por el vídeo, por favor muestranos los rostros de sus seis hijos.
Please do Anne of Cleves!!
awesome.....
The stories of her necrophilia and refusing to release the body are untrue, and have been shown to be untrue since at least the research done in the 1950s:
Philip died in Burgos, in the north of Spain, in winter. He wanted to be buried in Granada, where Isabel the Catholic (Juana's mother) was buried. Granada is in the south of Spain, and even today, it's a long journey from Burgos to there.
Juana, heavily pregnant at this time, and aware of various forces trying to control her, took the opportunity to transport the body both to honor Philip's wishes and to try to break away from those people attempting to take authority from her. She opened the coffin a total of three times, twice in accordance with All Soul's Day rituals, and once because she'd heard the body had been stolen. There was no necrophilia, and it should be noted that she was well aware of Philip's political betrayals and attempts to rule Castile without her input.
The stories of her instability in Flanders comes from a now-unavailable series of reports Philip sent to his in-laws, and which he complained about when Fernando used it after Isabel's death in an attempt to bolster political support him at the cost of Philip. Whatever truth was in those reports was possibly exaggerated. Philip did his best to isolate Juana, even barring his own sister Margaret from seeing her. We don't know the truth of what was going on in Flanders. Only what Philip said.
Do any of you know what the song is? Amazing video!!

Very interesting. Such a beautiful woman. Too much inbreeding however.
How was she related to Katherine of Aragon, Henry’s wife?
Katherine was her younger sister
She was Katherine's older sister.
@@michelleg7 thanks - thought she must have been… ☺️
Katherine was Joanna's favourite sister.
Juana was the older sister of Catalina de Aragón, infact Catalina was Juana's favourite sister.
How extraordinarily sad.
She was beautiful!
Impresionante!
Also a very hard reminder for some people who believe this myth... Isabella did not torture Joanna.
Pienso que el apodo de loca no le hace justicia. Fue utilizada por si marido, que coqueteaba con todas las damas de la corte, lo que hizo de Juana una mujer celosa, con razón. Felipe ansiaba la corona española y acabo aliándose con su suegro para obtener la corona aunque a aquel no le gustase este. A Felipe no le salieron bien sus planes por su repentina muerte. En realidad Juana fue una víctima del machismo de la época. Solo enloqueció x celos justificados. Me da mucha pena. Pero la historia le está haciendo justicia porque cada vez se cree más en esto que en que estuviese loca de verdad. Tuvo una vida muy dura y hasta la encerraron en Tordesillas con su hija menor a la que, cuando fueron a visitar a su madre Leonor y Carlos, se la quitaron y cuando Juana se dió cuenta, se negó a comer. Se la devolvieron por miedo a que muriese de hambre. Esa reina sufrió mucho y la historia no la ha tratado con justicia habiendo sido la reina legítima de Castilla y Aragón por nacimiento.
What is the music? Does anyone know? Love this.
She was very beautiful, she was not mad.
Joanna the Mad was obviously wonderfully beautiful. why on earth would anyone be unfaithful to her? And, really, she didn't need his dead body everywhere she went.
Well, by law, while his husband wasn't officially buried, she can't married again, so it's possible that was a tactic to control her destiny. She was intelligent and had a good education despite all.
veryment beautiful
Hello Panagiotis, could you make a reconstruction of the face of the Spanish corsair Amaro Pargo? or of several corsairs, including Amaro? Thank you.
The nickname "handsome" was given to Phillip by the king of France, he said "and here he comes, handsome prince of Flanders", that's all. And about Joan she was a psychotic and never wanted to reign, her mother Isabella asked her to stay in Castile to learn to rule , she only showed interest in being with her husband, she even abandoned her baby Ferdinand to her parents. When the commoners rebelled, they wanted Joana on the throne, not her German son ... She never gave them a real answer, she responded evasively and when the time came, she sent her loyal subjects to be executed by Charles, your son. .... Sometimes some women or men do not govern, because they are not interested in power, that was her case, aggravated by the psychosis
Could be, the "Handsome" might have been a euphemism.
I don't think she was psychotic but that's just me. Everything I've read on her points to either PPD, PPP, Bipolar Depression, or an inherited illness. She would have flair ups when Phillip was unfaithful, when her jealousy was on the rise, or when she suffered a personal tragedy(ex: Her mother's death in November of 1504). I mean, Ferdinand was born raised and educated in Spain largely by his grandfather because he wanted Ferdinand to succeed him as King of Aragon but was opted out for Carlos. So that leads me to think that he wasn't abandoned, that Juana allowed her father to raise him as his heir apparent for Aragon.
Either way though.
@@panagiotisconstantinou Irony is an ancient form of humour...
Pretty.
A Shame she was treated like crap by the men in her life and her mom.
Her grandson, Phlip II became the first global ruler "NON SUFFICIT ORBIS" ("The world is not enough")
Everyone painted in the Middle Ages looked so long faced, sad 😞 and sour. I guess with good reason.
Because some of them used to have teeth problems.
Ay Juana, que diferente hubiese sido tu vida sin Felipe...
Proud to be Latinamerican-Hispanic of recent Greek descent from my mother's side. I come from a South American family called Estabridis.
I have always wondered how can a father do what Fernando did to his daughter. Ok, I understand that at the time there was almost no knowledge about mental diseases, but she was her daughter!
Dear, Fernando of Aragón was a SOB. He recognized 30 biological children during his life, he had a low education in comparison with Isabel of Castilla, who never permitted him to take control of Castilla except in military affairs, and they relationship was complicated... But he was always very ambitious. So he didn't want a mini Isabel again.
By the other hand, while the Juana's husband didn't was officially buried, they can't married her again, so it was an interesting movement to controlled her destiny, if it was conscious.
Fernando is quoted as saying "Sending my daughter [Juana] into Tordesillas proved more draining than facing the French cannons on the battlefield".
He didn't take pleasure in having to do what he did. It was for the good of the realm. The same people chastising Fernando would do the exact same thing if he had let Juana rule and destroy everything he and Isabella had fought for for 30 years.
He reminds me of Dax Shephard. I feel terrible for her plight. But dragging her husband's corpse around was so messed up. Did not help her cause. 😳 And he didn't deserve her loyalty! He cheated on her all the time. 😒
She' mad-beauty!
Her beautiful vibe just like Kendall or Dua lipa
I do suggest the author to more deeply informed:
- schizophrenia is not inherited although previous family cases may be describes: in this particular case her grandmother had pysichiatrich history
- Joan had previous conduct disturbances before her marriage
- She was very jealous that was sustained by her husband's Casanova personality
- Currently, It is thought she suffered from a schizoaffectiv disorder
- Her son and her father searched to keep all the enormous imperial legacy within responsibilty...keep in mind all the América gest was carried out by her parents Isabel and Fernando and Juana was not able to pursue all the enormous responsibilities she should have supported...very sad but the less damage
Juana, personaje trágico donde los haya...
Could you do next her brother John? Please 🙏🥺
Ehh I wonder why Philip was named "the handsome" .... he look so normal.
