This book examines the deep and lengthy crisis of legitimacy triggered by the death of Prince Juan of Castile and Aragon in 1497 and the subsequent ascent of Juana I to the throne in 1504. Confined by historiography and myth to the madwoman's attic, Juana emerges here as a key figure at the heart of a period of tremendous upheaval, reaching its peak in the war of the Comunidades, or comunero uprising of 1520-1522. Gillian Fleming traces the conflicts generated by the ambitions of Juana's father, husband and son, and the controversial marginalisation and imprisonment of Isabel of Castile's legitimate heir. Analysing Juana's problems and strategies, failures and successes, Fleming argues that the period cannot be properly understood without taking into account the long shadow that Juana I cast over her kingdoms and over a crucial period of transition for Spain and Europe.

I gave 3 stars because this focuses more on Juana as documented by the players around her.
Also this places a lot of focus on her son, Carlos V.
I understand theres more available about those that held her captive than what she thought or felt.
That's also true in biographies about thoss held in chattel slavery. That's handled by documenting sources but the enslaved person remains at the center despite the fact that we have nothing written in their own hand. Something similar should've been done here.
I think this is possibly a nice companion to the biography written by Bethany Aram.
Unfortunately I'm unable to access that other than purchasing it and it's at text book prices so hard pass ( )
