Juana of Castile > 
Joanna (Juana), called Crazy Juana (Juana La Loca), queen of Castile and mother of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, was the second daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella, king and queen of Spain, and was born at Toledo on November 6, 1479.
Her youngest sister was Catherine of Aragon, the first wife of Henry VIII.
In 1496 at Lille, Joanna was married to the archduke Philip the Handsome, son of the German King Maximilian I, and at Ghent in February 1500, she gave birth to future emperor Charles V.
The death of her only brother John, of her eldest sister Isabella of Asturias, queen of Portugal, and then of the latter's infant son Miguel, made Joanna the heiress of the Spanish kingdoms, and in 1502 the cortes of Castile and of Aragon recognized her and her husband as their future sovereigns. Soon after this, Joanna's reason began to give way. She pined in an extravagant fashion for her absent husband, whom at length she joined in Flanders; in this country her passionate jealousy, although justified by Philip's conduct, led to deplorable scenes.
