Book description
With Spain now united, Ferdinand looked to his daughters to further
his ambitions. All too often, Isabella found herself torn between his
brilliant plans and her love for her children. During the last years
of Isabella's reign it seemed there was a curse on the royal house
which struck at the children of the sovereigns.
Tragedy followed tragedy - the Infanta Isabella, a broken-hearted
widow; Juana, driven to madness by her husband's philandering; and the
sorrow of parting with young Catalina, destined to become Katharine of
Aragon, wife to Henry VIII and Queen of England ...
