Got

AU: Children of Nicholas II(1968 - 1931) and Alexandra Feodorovna(1872 - 1938).

Rhaenyra I AU: Before Viserys I Targaryen’s death, this same Targaryen sent a letter four days before to his heir, Rhaenyra, asking her to come to be by his side before dying. Rhaenyra, still pregnant, flew on the back of her dragon Syrax to King’s Landing accompanied by her husband, Daemon, and their five children.

After a long agony King Viserys died in 129 A. C. accompanied by their relatives. Rhaenyra was saddened to lose her father, but she had the strength to prepare and be the new queen.

Three days later she went into labor, giving birth to her first daughter and her last child, Visenya. Rhaenyra was crowned in 129 A. C. as Rhaenyra I and her son Jacaerys Velaryon as her heir. The beginning of her government was not good, Alicent Hightower and the greens opine that she was the new queen, preferring Aegon, her half brother as king, in addition to the rumors of the doubtful paternity of her three older children.

The Hightower began a rebellion against Rhaenyra, crowning Aegon as Aegon II. Rhaenyra commanded her husband, Daemon Targaryen to stop these rebellions while she protected the town.

Her son Jacaerys advised his mother not to bring more fire and blood to the Seven Kingdoms, so Corlys Velaryon, her hand, was sent to Oldtown to make the peace offer by offering a compromise between Aegon, the younger, and the Aegon’s daughter, Jaehaera. Besides offering the island of Rocadragon and a large pension.

The clingy and lazy Aegon II accepted these conditions, setting aside the protests of the Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower and Criston Cole. 

Rhaenyra’s reign went through some ups and downs due to the protests of some great lords who did not want their Velaryon children to be the heirs to the throne because of their bastardy. This issue caused that the first son of his second marriage, Aegon was seen as a better heir for his good behavior and his Valyrian appearance. Although this topic was avoided by Rhaenyra so as not to create conflicts between his two children.

Despite these problems, her reign was good thanks to her preparation as queen and her advisers, in addition to knowing how to keep the greens as limited as she could. She achieved some alliances with the Seven Kingdoms, promising her son Joffrey to Cerelle Lannister, sister of the Lord of Casterly Rock and her little Visenya to Joffrey Arryn, cousin and heir to Jeyne Arryn.

Her son Viserys traveled to Lys where he fell in love with an older girl named Larra Rogare and whom he married. This upset Rhaenyra and Daemon, as they already had an engagement for him with the Baratheron house, but in the end they reluctantly accepted this marriage.

She had problems with her husband Daemon and his rebellion, leading to heated arguments that turned to passion, but still Daemon was a great support for his wife and tried not to make her angry.

In her last days Rhaenyra spent time with her grandchildren and felt special affection for her grandson Aemon, son of Viserys and Larra, in addition to taking care of her granddaughter Naerys, who was very sickly.

The frustrated widow Alicent Hightower AU: Alicent had remained at the side of her dying husband, Viserys I until his death. Unfortunately for her, the king managed to warn her daughter, Rhaenyra of her status and to return from Dragonstone to be by her side, this frustrated her plans to seat her first-born, Prince Aegon on the iron throne.

Three days before the coronation of Rhaenyra I, Alicent left for Oldtown with her children and her supporters to plan the rebellion that would become known as “The roar of the golden dragon” crowning her son Aegon. The Greens were joined by the Baratheon to start the revolts at King’s Landing and overthrow their stepdaughter. Her son Aemond managed to besiege Harrenhal.

These attacks caused Rhaenyra to send her husband, Daemon Targaryen along with his army to stop those looting, the battles that the river lands were fought were victorious for the blacks thanks to Daemon and Corlys Velaryon.

After a year of complicated battles, Rhaenyra at the insistence of her son, Jacaerys, sent Corlys Velaryon to Oldtown to make a peace offer to Aegon II, if he gave up his attempts to get the throne, they would offer him the island of Dragonstone and a large pension with which they would lead a privileged lifestyle. In addition to marrying Princess Jaehaera to Rhaenyra and Daemon’s first son, Prince Aegon. The dowager queen refused this offer:

“The Delight of the Kingdom took the throne of a king, the place of a man. It is the position that my son deserves by right and we are not going to bend for gold”.

However, her son gladly accepted this proposal, something that angered her mother and the Lord Commander of the Royal Guard, Criston Cole. After signing the agreement “The Peace of the Dragon” Alicent went into exile in Oldtown with her minor children and grandchildren, where she spent the years in complete bitterness.

In the year 132 a. C. Alicent tried to crown her other son, Aemond and resume rebellions against the iron throne, but soon this only provoked the wrath of Rhaenyra who flew on her dragon Syrax to Oldtown, where she threatened her stepmother to feed her to she and her family to their dragons if he caused more trouble again.

The following years Alicent’s behavior became more erratic and bloody, criticizing her children for being weak in the face of pleasures, in addition to constantly pressuring Helaena with raising her grandchildren, Jaehaerys and Maelor as “future heirs.” The only thing that calmed her was reading the books she read to King Jaehaerys I, when he was in charge of her care.

At 46 years old, the widowed queen had lost that charm that characterized her, becoming a wrinkled and pale woman with a cold look, who only saw in mourning for the evident fall of her future as queen mother. Her son, Daeron said these words:

“The more years passed the bitterness of my mother believed, the more she believed her bitterness the more beauty she lost.”

In the year 135 a. C. the ex-queen suffered an accident where she cut her hand with a kitchen knife. The wound was treated, but the blood continued to drip, Maester Alfador decided to bleed something that further weakened the queen, contracting puerperal fever.

Princess Helaena, mother of a queen AU: Upon the death of her father, Viserys I Targaryen, her older half-sister, Rhaenyra, was crowned Rhaenyra I Targaryen. Her mother forced her to go to Oldtown with the Greens and her brothers, where they planned a coup against the queen to put her brother-husband, Aegon on the iron throne.

This rebellion was put down by Daemon Targaryen and Corlys Velaryon, who brought an offer of peace with the alliance between his daughter, Jaehaera and Prince Aegon, the youngest. In addition, they were granted the island of dragon rock and a large pension to have a luxurious lifestyle, something that her husband accepted without thinking, despite the protests of his mother Alicent.

Helaena was almost secluded in the lighthouse, while her daughter Jaehaera was sent to King’s Landing to make the engagement official. For 4 years Helaena visited her daughter with her brothers, but she felt alone in Oldtown since her husband was involved in pleasures and lovers with the pension they were given, and her resentful mother always demanded her presence and her of his grandchildren.

In 135 A. C., the queen widow Alicent died of puerperal fever, her death affecting Helaena and her siblings. Knowing that her sweet sister was very lonely and sad, Rhaenyra decided to bring her to court with her children so that they could be by the side of Princess Jaehaera.

For the next several years, Helaena stayed with her children and stayed away from politics, focusing on sewing, riding her dragon dreamfyre, at court events. She was by the side of her daughter Jaehaera when she became pregnant and gave birth to her first child, Aenar in 149 A. C.

The years passed quietly with her children and grandchildren who were reaching the world. Until in the year 156 A.C. her son, Jaehaerys died in a hunting accident, when she was pierced by an arrow in the eye.

In his quarters, Gaemon used to spend his days breaking everything within his reach, screaming and suffering from several fits of anger, even mistreating several of his servants.

Laenys’ continuous childbirth caused her health to begin to decline because each delivery only took one or two years. In the year 199 d.

However in 1502 the princes of Wales fell ill suddenly, although Catherine recovered quickly and prayed every day for the improvement of her husband.

To everyone’s surprise, Prince Arthur improved remarkably and the couple became even more united than ever. The couple were quickly sent to the court of the English kings for fear that the cold temperatures in Wales would further affect the health of the princes.

Arthur and Catherine were a passionate couple, but it was not until 1507 that the infanta became pregnant for the first time, this being a great joy for England who were waiting for the longed-for male heir. Catherine gave birth that same year to her first child, Eduardo, and this was celebrated in style, increasing the popularity of the Spanish Infanta.

Despite Arturo’s somewhat delicate health, he and Catherine would have 11 children in common:

Edward VI (1507-1577) He was King of England and the third King of the House of Tudor. He was known as “The Conciliator” for his peaceful reforms and good understanding of him with other kingdoms.

Elizabeth (1509-1568) She was twice Queen consort of France. She married her first cousin, King Orlando I, having 3 children with him: Orland II, Charlotte and Margaret. After her husband was assassinated, her brother-in-law, her new King Charles X, forced her to marry hers and they had 4 children: Charles, Odon, Blanche and Elisabeth. When he was widowed for the second time, her son Orlando II was crowned.

Charles I (1510-1588) He was King of Ireland and creator of the second faction of the Tudors, the Tudor-Dalta. He was known as “The Cult” for his love of literature, the arts and education reforming schools for the needy. He married Isabel Jagellon and they had 5 daughters: Henrietta I, Catherine Mary, Elizabeth, Victoria and Anne. Her daughter Henrietta succeeded him after her death.

Mary (1512-1569) She was Queen Consort of Scotland and Countess of Morton. She married her cousin James V of Scotland in 1526 and they had 4 children: Margaret, Mary, James VI, and Robert. After being widowed in 1542, Mary married James Douglas, future Earl of Morton and they had a daughter: Jane.

Edmund (1514-1559) He was Duke of Somerset and known for his mental problems. Edmundo carried out a military career where he developed his taste for war, blood and the lovemaking arts, having several lovers before turning 16 years old. He married Margaret Howard and they had 15 children.

Arthur (1516-1526) was Duke of Richmond when he was 5 years old. However Arthur passed away at 10 years of age due to English sweat.

Ferdinand (1518-1519) died shortly after completing his first year.

Anne (1519) died shortly after birth.

Twin abortion (1521)

Catherine (1522-1545) she was Duchess of Ross when she married Alexander, brother of King James V. Alexander and Catherine had 7 children: Rupert, Henry, Louise, Margaret, Alexander, Elizabeth Mary and Renee. Catherine passed away after giving birth to her seventh baby.

In 1509 King Henry VII of England passed away and the princes were crowned the new kings of England. The new kings were hailed throughout the kingdom as seen as the new hope of England and were called “The Kings of Camelot.” Catherine’s coronation stood out for being the same queen mother of her Elizabeth of York who personally gave her her jewels and her queen’s crown, in addition to publicly calling her “my daughter”.

“The Spanish queen” as she was known was quite popular for her beauty, her upbringing and for her great administration, as well as being a great political ally for her husband, whom she accompanied whenever she could at night. meetings with the council. Catherine also made numerous donations to charity and the church, as well as helping some orphanages and relief foundations using her own money as Queen Consort.

One of the most important moments of the queen was when the king left for France in 1520 to start some negotiations and Catherine stayed as regent for half a year. Her regency stood out for her support for different shops of bread, cloth and weapons, managing to bring reserves to her people to face the harsh winter or a possible confrontation against France. I also stand out for being with her sister the Empress Juana participates in an alliance between Spain, France and England creating a triple alliance being Catherine herself who met with her sister-in-law, Margaret of Austria and her niece, the Queen of France, Margaret of Trastamara to make that peace.

Catherine was the great love of King Arthur and is regarded as his queen Guinevere. The queen enjoyed the love and fidelity of her husband, especially when she gave birth to her last daughter and the doctors disabled her to bring more children, something that was accepted by Arturo because he did not want to endanger her life. her beloved wife.

The queen also stood out for being a dedicated mother and loving her children very much, even though she also suffered with the deaths of some of her children, especially with hers, her son Arturo because of the English sweat. Catherine also got to have a hard time with the behavior of her son Edmundo of her and with the supposed mental problems that she suffered from her, in addition to always seeking her daughter-in-law Margaret Howard who was affected by her numerous deliveries and the madness of her husband.

In 1545 her favorite daughter Catherine died after giving birth to her last daughter, this death being very painful for the kings who had lost a fifth child. However, the queen never recovered from this hard blow and she spent months locked in her rooms where she cried, she prayed and sewed some clothes that she used to make for her children, especially for Catherine. In the end, Queen Catherine of Aragón ended up dying that same year at the age of 60, supposedly due to the great sadness that she carried after her daughter died.

Mejores destinos para los Hijos de los Reyes Católicos- María de Aragón

María fue la hija mas desconocida de los Reyes Católicos siendo considerada bonita, pero no tanto como sus hermanas. La infanta era piadosa, caritativa y prudente ante todos los conflictos que estuvieron ocurriendo en la familia Trastamara.

En un principió se pensó en comprometerla con el rey James IV de Escocia, pero las negociaciones matrimoniales no llegaron a mucho y el rey se acabaría casando con la princesa Margarita Tudor. Tras su compromiso fallido, su hermana mayor la reina de Portugal Isabella de Aragón negocio un matrimonio para María con el duque de Viseu y Beja, Manuel de Avís que era hermano de la reina viuda Leonor de Viseu.

Manuel de Viseu no estaba muy convencido por aquella unión debido a que el tenia sentimientos escondidos por la reina Isabella, pero accedió a casarse con la infanta para asegurar la sucesión de sus ducados. Las negociaciones matrimoniales apenas duraron un año al ser Isabella de Aragon la mediadora de aquel compromiso y María partió hacia Portugal en 1500 llegando hasta la ciudad de Alcácer do Sal donde se celebro la boda.

Manuel y María se enamoraron a primera vista durante la ceremonia. Manuel llego a considerar a su esposa como “una flor hermosa, delicada y pequeña” e incluso llego a agradecer por carta a la reina Isabella de Aragón por haber formado aquella alianza ya que de esa forma conoció a su gran amor. María fue nombrada Duquesa consorte de Viseu y Beja tras casarse con Manuel. La pareja viajo al ducado de Viseu donde fueron bien recibidos nada mas entrar y María fue aclamada por todo el mundo.

Los reyes de Portugal les otorgaron como regalo de bodas los títulos de duques de Trancoso, Guimarães y una parte del ducado de Guarda, siendo los primeros Duques del ducado Guarda-Viseu.

En el ducado se celebraron sencillos, pero bellos bailes en honor a la nueva duquesa y también se llevo a cabo un torneo de justas donde participo Manuel. Se dice que el duque paro su montura ante su esposa y le dio una rosa roja como símbolo de su gran amor y pasión, lo que provoco que María fuera llamada por los nobles y el pueblo como “La rosa de Viseu”.

María se quedo embarazada casi dos años después de casarse con su marido y alumbro en 1502 a su primer hijo, Juan que sería Duque de Viseu. Pese a que al principio se creía que la duquesa tenia problemas de fertilidad, ella acabaría dándole a su marido 10 hijos seguidos:

Juan de Viseu (1502-1554) Fue duque de Viseu y miembro del consejo del rey Juan III de Portugal. El duque se caso con su prima, Catalina de Austria y tuvieron 4 hijos: Manuel, Felipe, María Manuela y Juan Manuel.

Isabella de Portugal (1503-1547) Fue Emperatriz consorte del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico al casarse con su primo, Charles V y al sirvió como su regente al lado de su tía-suegra, Joanna. Isabella y Charles tuvieron 5 hijos: Philip I, Maria, Ferdinand, Joanna y John.

Beatriz de Portugal (1504-1538) Fue Duquesa consorte de Saboya al casarse con Carlos III de Saboya y tuvieron 3 hijos vivos: Manuel Filiberto I, Catalina y Isabella. Beatriz fue el tercer vástago en morir antes que su madre.

Luis de Beja (1506-1555) Fue Duque de Beja como herencia paternal. Luis tuvo distintos enfrentamientos con su hermano mayor debido a su supuesto casamiento morganático con una judía. Pese a esto Luis se casaría con su prima, Dulce de Portugal y esta le daría 5 hijos: Luisa, Ana, Luis, Alonzo y Dulce.

Fernando de Guarda (1507-1545) Fue Duque de Guarda-Viseu al dividirse una parte de estos territorios. Se caso con Guiomar Coutinho y tuvieron dos hijos: Luisa y Fernando de Guarda.

Alfonso de Portugal (1509-1548) Fue sucesivamente obispo de Guarda, cardenal, obispo de Viseu, obispo de Évora y finalmente arzobispo de Lisboa. Al morir inesperadamente en 1548 sus títulos fueron heredados a su sobrino, Don Teobaldo de Portugal que fue su estudiante.

María de Portugal (1511-1513) Falleció a los casi 2 años de edad, siendo su muerte una gran tristeza para su madre.

Enrique de Trancoso (1512-1580) Fue duque de Trancoso y miembro importante del consejo del rey Juan III. Enrique no se caso hasta el 1554 con la noble sueca, Catalina Stenbock con la cual tuvo 3 hijos: Enrique, Birgitta y Gustavo.

Eduardo de Guimarães (1515-1549) Fue duque de Guimarães. Se caso con Isabella de Braganza y tuvieron 3 hijos: María, Catalina y Eduardo de Guimarães.

Antonio (1516) Falleció poco después de nacer.

Tras el nacimiento de su hijo Antonio y el fallecimiento de este, María se negó a traer mas hijos al mundo y verlos morir antes que ella. Esto fue aceptado por Manuel que se mantuvo fiel a su esposa pese a no volver a compartir el lecho. María fue una madre dedicada y amorosa dejando una gran huella en sus hijos que siempre guardaron buenos recuerdos de su progenitora.

La duquesa no se entrometió en la política portuguesa, aun que llego a recibir a los distintos embajadores extranjeros que visitaban el ducado y se dice que María dejaba una buena impresión, además de tener un perfecto portugués a la hora de entablar conversaciones con los visitantes. También fue una mujer muy piadosa y ayudo a diferentes conventos, organizaciones religiosas y monasterios a fundar sus propias escuelas o edificios santos.

María sufrió mucho con las muertes de algunos de sus hijos que fallecieron antes que ella y su marido. Su hija Beatriz falleció debido a la tuberculosis en 1538 y María guardo luto por su hija por año, además de permanecer unos meses en la corte saboyana junto a sus nietos, hijos de Beatriz. Otro de sus hijos fue Fernando que falleció tras varios días de padecer viruela en 1545.

María llevo estas muertes como pudo, pero en el año 1547 falleció su hija mayor, Isabella tras un cáncer de mama y dos meses después su marido murió debido a una arritmia cardiaca. Estas muertes fueron un gran dolor para María que se refugió en la religión al igual que sus hermanos. También solía visitar el Sacro Imperio para ver a sus nietos los archiduques y visito a su hermana mayor, Juana en su residencia de Tordesillas y ambas se consolaban ante las perdidas que iban pasando cada una.

Su hijo Alfonso fallecería inesperadamente en 1548 y María se mantuvo al lado de su hijo que falleció en sus brazos. La muerte de su hijo la marco de por vida y se resguardo aun mas en la religión, llegando a usar prendas mas aptas de una monja en vez de una duquesa o viuda.

María empezó a sufrir graves problemas de corazón a inicios del 1549 y permaneció en cama por varios meses hasta que falleció unos días antes de cumplir los 67 años de edad en Portugal. Su muerte fue muy sentida por los nobles leales al ducado de Viseu y Beja, pero también fue bastante dolorosa para sus hijos que siempre mantendrían un especial recuerdo de ella.

Best destinations for the Children of the Catholic Monarchs- María of Aragón

María was the most unknown daughter of the Catholic Monarchs, being considered pretty, but not as pretty as her sisters. The infanta was pious, charitable and prudent in the face of all the conflicts that were occurring in the Trastamara family.

At first, it was thought of committing her to King James IV of Scotland, but the marriage negotiations did not go to much and the king would end up marrying Princess Margaret Tudor. After her failed engagement, her older sister, the Queen of Portugal Isabella of Aragón, negotiated a marriage for María with the Duke of Viseu and Beja, Manuel of Avís, who was the brother of the widowed queen Leonor of Viseu.

Manuel of Viseu was not very convinced by that union because he had hidden feelings for Queen Isabella, but he agreed to marry the infanta to ensure the succession of her duchies. The marriage negotiations barely lasted a year as Isabella of Aragon was the mediator of that engagement and Maria left for Portugal in 1500 reaching the city of Alcácer do Sal where the wedding took place. Manuel and María fell in love at first sight during the ceremony. Manuel came to consider her wife as “a beautiful, delicate and small flower” and even came to thank Queen Isabella of Aragon by letter for having formed that alliance since in that way he met her great love. María was named Duchess consort of Viseu and Beja after marrying Manuel. The couple traveled to the Duchy of Viseu where they were well received as soon as they entered and Maria was acclaimed by the whole world.

In the duchy, simple but beautiful dances were held in honor of the new duchess and a jousting tournament was also held where Manuel participated. It is said that the duke stopped her mount before her wife and gave her a red rose as a symbol of her great love and passion, which caused Mary to be called by the nobles and the people as “The rose of Viseu ”.

María became pregnant almost two years after marrying her husband and gave birth to her first child, Juan, who would be Duke of Viseu in 1502. Although at first it was believed that the duchess had fertility problems, she would end up giving her husband 10 children in a row:

John de Viseu (1502-1554) He was Duke of Viseu and a member of the council of King Juan III of Portugal. The duke married his cousin, Catherine of Austria and they had 4 children: Manuel, Felipe, María Manuela and Juan Manuel.

Isabella of Portugal (1503-1547) She was Empress consort of the Holy Roman Empire by marrying her cousin, Charles V and serving as her regent alongside her aunt-mother-in-law, Joanna. Isabella and Charles had 5 children: Philip I, Maria, Ferdinand, Joanna and John.

Beatrice of Portugal (1504-1538) She was Duchess consort of Savoy when she married Carlos III of Savoy and they had 3 living children: Emmanuel Philibert I, Catherine and Isabella. Beatriz was the third child to die before her mother.

Louis of Beja (1506-1555) He was Duke of Beja as a paternal inheritance. Luis had different confrontations with his older brother due to his supposed morganatic marriage to a Jewess. Despite this, Luis would marry his cousin, Dulce de Portugal and she would give him 5 children: Louise, Anna, Louis, Alonzo and Dulce.

Ferdinando of Guarda (1507-1545) He was Duke of Guarda-Viseu when part of these territories were divided. He married Guiomar Coutinho and they had two children: Luisa and Fernando of Guarda.

Alfonso of Portugal (1509-1548) He was successively Bishop of Guarda, Cardinal, Bishop of Viseu, Bishop of Évora and finally Archbishop of Lisbon. When he died unexpectedly in 1548, his titles were inherited to his nephew, Don Teobaldo de Portugal, who was his student.

María of Portugal (1511-1513) she died when she was almost 2 years old, her death being a great sadness for her mother.

Henry of Trancoso (1512-1580) He was Duke of Trancoso and an important member of the council of King Juan III. Enrique did not marry until 1554 with the Swedish noblewoman, Catherine Stenbock with whom he had 3 children: Enrique, Birgitta and Teobaldo.

Duarte of Guimarães (1515-1549) He was Duke of Guimarães. He married Isabella de Braganza and they had 3 children: María, Catherine and Duarte of Guimarães.

Antonio (1516) died shortly after birth.

After the birth of her son Antonio and his death, María refused to bring more children into the world and see them die before her. This was accepted by Manuel who remained faithful to his wife despite not sharing the bed again. María was a dedicated and loving mother leaving a great mark on her children who always kept good memories of her mother.

The Duchess did not interfere in Portuguese politics, although she did receive the various foreign ambassadors who visited the duchy and it is said that Maria left a good impression, in addition to having perfect Portuguese when it came to engaging in conversations with visitors. She was also a very pious woman and helped different convents, religious organizations and monasteries to found their own schools or holy buildings.

Maria suffered greatly with the deaths of some of her children who died before her and her husband. Her daughter Beatriz hers died due to tuberculosis in 1538 and María kept mourning for her daughter for years, in addition to staying a few months at the Savoyard court with her grandchildren, Beatriz’s children. Another of her children was Fernando, who died after several days of suffering from smallpox in 1545.

María carried these deaths as she could, but in the year 1547 her eldest daughter Isabella died after breast cancer and two months later her husband died due to a cardiac arrhythmia. These deaths were a great pain for Mary that she took refuge in religion like her brothers. She also used to visit the Holy Empire to see her grandchildren, her archdukes, and she visited her older sister, Juana, at her residence in Tordesillas and they both consoled themselves for the losses that each one was going through.

Her son Alfonso hers would die unexpectedly in 1548 and María remained by the side of her son who died in her arms. The death of her son marked her for life and she sheltered herself even more in religion, coming to wear more suitable garments of a nun instead of a duchess or widow.

Su relación con Felipe fue de mal en peor, pero aun así los duques de Borgoña compartían el lecho para traer mas hijos y desatar sus profundas pasiones.

En 1519 falleció su suegro, Maximiliano I del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico y su marido fue coronado como Felipe I del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico, siendo Juana su emperatriz consorte. Tras ser coronados la pareja se distancio y Juana poco a poco perdió aquel obsesivo amor que sentía por Felipe, centrándose mas en sus hijos y sus propios pasatiempos.

La loca llego a ejercer de regente en solitario cuando su hijo y su familia emprendían largos viajes a sus numerosos territorios, aun que estos trabajos afectaron su salud padeciendo de fuertes dolores de cabeza, de espalda y piernas, realizando su trabajo desde su alcoba.

Pese a ser una madre algo fría, Juana sufrió con las muertes de algunos de sus hijos en especial de su hija menor, Cuneguda en 1539 tras tener un aborto. Su trabajo como regente y las muertes de algunos de sus hijos, fueron apagando su salud y Juana se refugió un poco en la religión. En 1545 falleció su hija Isabella y Juana llego a decir que esta fue asesinada por su segundo marido o el padre de este.

Best destinations for the Children of the Catholic Monarchs- Joanna of Aragón

Joanna was, like her sisters, one of the most beautiful women of her time. Unlike her sisters Isabella and Catherine, Joanna had dark eyes, long brown hair and pink skin bearing a great resemblance to her father. The infanta was not very devout, but she kept it a secret and was a passionate girl like her mother. The princess was attached to her siblings and attended the marriage between her sister Isabella hers with Prince Alfonso of Portugal. Joan and her brother John were betrothed to the sons of Emperor Maximilian I, Archdukes Philip and Margaret of Habsburg.

Joanna traveled to Flanders in 1496 and after a long wait, the couple finally met, feeling a great passion for each other. The couple married quickly and unleashed their great passion, but this great love and passion did not last long … Felipe was a very attractive young man, but a very womanizer, and after Joanna became pregnant, the Archduke looked for young Austrians and the ladies of his wife.

Those infidelities hurt the infanta a lot and she continually searched for her husband to prevent her from having romances with other women. The relationship became toxic and it was said that Joanna was crazy about Felipe, since she even ordered that one of her husband’s lovers had her hair and face cut off. Despite all these percans, the archdukes were very fertile and had 10 children in common who reached a good age:

Eleanor of Austria (1498-1568) She was Duchess of York by marrying Henry Tudor, but she only had three children: Eleanor, Eugenia and Maximilian. Following her divorce in 1527, she married Frederick II of the Palatinate in 1531 and they had a son, Frederick III.

Charles V of Austria (1500-1558) He was Emperor of the Holy Roman Germanic Empire. Charles was called “El Carlo Magno Austrian” for his fights with France and the bravery of him in battle. He married his cousin Isabella of Portugal and they had 5 children: Philip II, Maria, Ferdinand, Joanna and John.

Isabella of Austria (1501-1545) She was queen consort of Denmark by marrying Christian II. Isabella had 6 children with her first husband: John II, Maximilian, Philip, Dorothea, Christina and Henry. When her husband died in 1523, she married Christian Duke of Schleswig and Holstein and they had 3 children: Frederick, Anne and Magnus.

Mary of Austria (1505-1569) She was queen consort and regent of Hungary by marrying Louis II of Hungary. The couple had a son: Louis III and when her husband died in 1531, Maria became the regent of her son for 10 years.

Catherine of Austria (1507-1580) She was Duchess of Viseu by marrying her cousin, John of Avis. Catalina had 4 living children with her husband: Manuel, Felipe, Maria Manuela and Juan Manuel.

John of Austria (1509-1588) He was cardinal and confidant of Pope Clement VII. Juan had an affair with a bohemian maid with whom he had 3 children: Alessandro, Anna Joanna and Federica.

Henry of Austria (1511-1571) was Duke of Brabant from 1549 to his death. He married Sofia Jagellion and they had 6 children: Sofia, Bona, Enrique, Ursula, Maria and Teobaldo. He had a great enmity with his brother the Emperor.

Margaret of Austria (1514-1599) she became a nun after the death of her father in 1529. She was the oldest of the Emperors’ children.

Cuneguda of Austria (1516-1539) she was Duchess of Florence by marrying Alessandro de ‘Medici and they had two daughters: Alessandra and Juliana. She died after an abortion and her daughters would be one of the richest women of her time.

Joanna was popular for her high fertility and despite being unloving in her early years, the Infanta came to love her children, especially her daughters Leonor, Isabella and Catalina. Her relationship with Felipe went from bad to worse, but even so the Dukes of Burgundy shared the bed to bring more children and unleash her deep passions.

In 1519 her father-in-law, Maximilian I of the Holy Roman Empire, died, and her husband was crowned Philip I of the Holy Roman Empire, with Joanna being her empress consort. After being crowned, the couple distanced themselves and Joanna little by little lost that obsessive love she felt for Philip, focusing more on her children and her own hobbies.

Joanna was popular in the Holy Empire, initially due to her obsessive love for her husband and her thirst for pleasure, but as time passed, she was seen as a woman of strong, passionate and very intelligent character as she was moving away from her obsession. by Felipe. Even so, many nobles nicknamed her “Joanna The Mad” and it is said that she herself came to approve of this nickname, stating that “I am crazy, but I am the empress and they are my subordinates, so they are serving a crazy empress”.

Despite being only the empress consort, Joanna stood out in Austrian politics and came to meet with the council instead of Emperor Philip, who only squandered the money of the Empire on his pleasures. The empress would get to meet with foreign ambassadors and establish the marriages of some of her children with her eldest son, Carlos with whom she had a somewhat tumultuous relationship due to her different ways of thinking. Even so, Carlos came to admire the character and courage of his mother when it came to ordering.

In 1529 Felipe I “The Fair” or “The Felón” died suddenly due to a fall from a horse after an escape to see one of his lovers. Joanna bitterly mourned the death of her husband and mourned her for 2 years despite the fact that her marriage was a great disaster. The empress dowager attended the coronation of her eldest son, Charles V of the Holy Empire and he appointed his mother along with his wife Isabella as regents of the Empire in his absence.

Joanna was a cold and capable regent, while her daughter-in-law was softer and more dedicated to the people, coming to have some disagreements with Isabel even though the empress dowager came to say that the new empress was the best daughter-in-law she could have and that she was worthy of the Empire. The crazy woman came to act as a solo regent when her son and her family undertook long trips to their many territories, even though these jobs affected her health, suffering from severe headaches, back and leg pain, doing her work from her bedroom .

Despite being a somewhat cold mother, Joanna suffered with the deaths of some of her children, especially her youngest daughter, Cuneguda in 1539 after having an abortion.

This death caused the dowager Empress to take refuge in the town of Tordesillas with her daughter Margaret, who was a nun.
