Juana had been a cleverchild and an excellent student. Queen Isabel came to ensure that Juana along with her three sisters Isabel, Maria, and Catalina received a fine education .Her academic education consisted of canon and civil law, genealogy and heraldry, grammar, history, languages, mathematics, philosophy, reading, spelling, and writing.

-Marriage:
In the Europe of those centuries, Isabel and Fernando negotiated marriages of all their children in order to ensure diplomatic and strategic objectives. In order to strengthen ties with the Germanic Holy Roman Emperor, Maximilian I, they offered Juana in marriage to his son, Philip , Archduke of Austria. In exchange for this link, the Catholic Monarchs demanded the hand of the daughter of Maximilian, Margaret of Austria, as a wife for Juan. Juana finally in the northern lands, was not received by her future husband. This was due to the opposition of Philip´s counselors matrimonial alliances concluded by his father the Emperor. In 1496, Joanna, at the age of sixteen, was betrothed to Philip the Handsome, Philip's parents were Maximilian I[|,]Holy Roman Empire emperor and his first wife, Duchess Mary of Burgundy. The marriage was one of a set of family alliances between the Habsburgs and the Trastámaras designed to strengthen both against growing French power. Finally the wedding took place on October 20, 1496. Although future husbands were not known, they fell in love quickly, in a very deep love. However, Philip soon lost interest in the relationship, which gave birth to Juana´s jealousy.

After Philip's death that same year, Joanna was deemed mentally ill. Though she remained the legal queen of Castile, her father Ferdinand II of Aragon, was regent until his death, when she inherited his kingdom as well. From 1517, her son, Charles I, ruled as king, while she remained co-monarch.

Juana, queen of Castile:
Most of her family were dead. Her brothers, Juan and Isabel were dead, as well as her son, the Portuguese Infant Miguel. Juana became heiress of Castile and Aragon. In November 1501, Philip and Juana took a route from Brussels, taking six months to reach Toledo. In 1503 her husband, Philip returned to Flanders to solve some issues, while Juana stayed in Spain at the request of their parents to meet her future subjects. In 1503, in the city of Alcalá de Henares she gave birth to her son, the new heiress of territories. He was named Fernanado in honor of his maternal grandfather. Juana asked to go to Flanders but her mother did´t want and war with France also became the route unviable. As Juana insisted his mother ordered Bishop Fonseca to keep her confined in the castle of La Mota. But at the end Isabel had to resign and give permission for Juana to go back to Flanders,she finally went to Flanders in 1504. Queen Isabel I died on November 26, 1504, in her testament she said that Juana would be the heiress of her territories, but if she didn't want or couldn't reign, Fernando (King of Aragon) will be king until Carlos( Juana's son) had the age to govern. Juana made a trip out of Spain, so Fernando was named regent until Juana arrived. Fernando tried to convince the courts that Juana was mentally ill and could not govern, but the courts did not accept it and Juana will continious governing. After Juana arrived to Spain with her husband, he died and was in that moment when the courts realized that Fernando was right about Juana, she was mad. The courts decided to appoint Carlos King with his mother. When finally Fernando died, Carlos became king of Castile and Aragon.

= A story of of Juana´s madness = = = = = She lived at first with her husband in Flanders and then returned with him to Spain so that he could make his allegiance to the Royal Houses of Castile and Aragon. Spain was not at all to Philip’s liking. Their way of life was far too strict and severe in comparison to his gay way of living. It didn’t take long before he quarrelled with Juana’s parents and then sped back to Flanders leaving his bewildered wife behind him.

Juana’s brother had died some years earlier and Isabella knew now that probably one day Juana would inherit Spain. Because of this she wanted her daughter and Philip to remain in Spain and so when Juana started making arrangements to follow her husband she had her taken to the Castle of La Mota and locked up there “until she could come to her senses.”

Juana immediately went on hunger strike, and would spend day after day at the iron-trellised gates screaming to be set free. The people from all around would come and stare at the pathetic spectacle of their princess.

Eventually Isabella realised that she had handled the affair badly and allowed Juana to return to her husband. But many say that this episode had a lasting effect on Juana’s sanity, and certainly after this she was very much subject to dark gloomy moods and hysterical outbursts.

A little while later Isabella died, and this led to conflict between Ferdinand and Philip as to whom should reign over Spain. Philip returned with an army and for a moment it looked like war.

Then Philip died. Juana was grief-stricken. All she had wanted in life was her husband, and now he was gone. She refused to be moved from his coffin. Day after weary day, she travelled through Spain, her husband’s coffin on a cart always accompanying her.

Ferdinand took this as a further indication of his daughter’s mental instability. He had Juana declared as unfit to reign. Ferdinand had become ruthless and greedy. He wanted all of Spain for himself and he wanted to be certain that the people would never rise up and side with Juana to take the throne away from him.

So it was that in February 1509, he had Juana taken to the castle of La Tordesillas. As soon as she arrived there he had the coffin of her husband taken away from her to be buried.

It is uncertain whether Juana was really mad when she was imprisoned in the castle or merely temporarily unbalanced by grief. But certainly the fact that her father had turned against her in no way helped her state of mind, and the slamming of the portcullis behind her in that dreadful castle probably put an end to her sanity.

When Ferdinand eventually died and Charles, Juana’s son, ascended the throne there might have been a chance for Juana’s release. But Charles was as ruthless as Ferdinand had been. He, too, realised that Juana was the true Queen and that he could only reign so long as she was declared mad. And so she remained a prisoner in the castle of Tordesillas.

Once, during Charles’ reign, the people rose up and broke into the castle and tried to restore Juana to the throne. They found in the castle a woman old before her time, in ragged clothes, with features ravaged by pain and misery.

The uprising was quickly put down, and the castle portcullis slammed down again on Juana for the last time.

She died in the castle in 1555. She was 75 years of age. The history books wrote of her as “The Mad Queen of Spain.” It was more probable that she was not mad but merely a woman broken by grief, a woman who cared nothing for politics nor power, who merely wanted to love and be loved.
