Synopsis

Descrita en su juventud como ?muy cuerda?, ¿por qué se torcieron las cosas en la existencia de Juana? ¿Fue tan ?hermoso? su marido? ¿Padecía Juana una enfermedad latente que se le aceleró con la distancia con Castilla? ¿Acentuaron los embarazos una dolencia silenciosa hasta entonces? ¿Constituyeron los celos la causa de su patología? ¿Por qué a Isabel la Católica a finales del Medievo se le permitió reinar y a su heredera no, en pleno Renacimiento, con el humanismo como doctrina? ¿Utilizó Juana la enajenación que le achacaban a modo de máscara neuronal?

¿A qué valores se aferraba para mantener la valentía frente a sus captores? Durante casi 50 años Juana, la reina más famosa de España y sin embargo con menos poder, estuvo confinada en el palacio de Tordesillas. Cuando llegó tenía 29 años y murió en aquella clausura a la edad de 75. A excepción de las risas infantiles, a lo largo de toda su vida fue tratada como una marioneta.

Referred to in her youth as “very sane” why did things go awry in Juana’s life?. Was her husband as “fair” as it was said? Was Juana suffering from a latent disease that was made worse by the distancing from Castille?. Did the pregnancies accentuate a previously silent ailment?. Was her jealousy the cause of her pathology?. Why was Queen Isabel the Catholic, during the end of the Middle Ages allowed to reign and her heiress not, when, in the middle of the Renaissance, with humanism as a doctrine?. Did Juana use the alienation that was attributed to her as a mask?. What values did she cling to in order to maintain her courage in the face of her captors?. For nearly 50 years Juana, Spain's most famous and yet least powerful queen, was confined to the Tordesillas palace. When she arrived, she was 29 years old, and she died in that cloister at the age of 75.

Throughout her life Juana was treated like a puppet. She, who was the wisest princess of her time... Without trying, Juana became a pawn on the chessboard to be moved at the whim of her father, Fernando, her husband, Felipe, her son, Carlos. It is said that behind the history of chess, brought to the Iberian Peninsula by the Muslims, is the enigmatic figure of her mother, the Queen. In her will, Isabel named Juana her heir.  However, her command was ignored.
