The sad story of Juana la loca

For almost 50 years, the legitimate queen of Spain was confined in a palace in Tordesillas: according to some, she was the victim of a conspiracy by her all-powerful relatives; according to others, because of an undeniable mental illness.

Queen Joanna of Castile's Spanish household was being replaced by Flemish women who spied on her for her husband Philip.
It is sad when the mistress cannon trust the servants. ????

If I can find the movie about with full English subtitles I will have a look.

I found a book someone gave me yonks ago, called That Other Juana, a historical fiction work about Joanna. I'm not wild about the writing style but it is interesting enough for me to keep reading. I didn't realise that her husband Philip's grandfather Charles was married to Margaret of York.

Even as Dowager Duchess,Margaret was a very powerful figure in European politics up until her death!
