A Queen Of Unrest: The Story Of Juana Of Castile, Mother Of Charles V., Born 1479, Died 1555 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781021263117)

Juana of Castile was one of the most powerful and tragic figures of the Spanish Renaissance. The daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella, she was married to Philip the Handsome of Burgundy, and went on to become the mother of the greatest monarch of the early modern period, Charles V. But her life was marked by conflict and heartbreak, and she was eventually locked away in a convent by her own family. In this book, historian Harry Tighe provides a gripping account of Juana's life and times, illuminating the complex political and cultural landscape of 16th-century Spain.
