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 madwomans 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 15201522. Gillian Fleming traces the conflicts generated by the ambitions of Juanas father, husband and son, and the controversial marginalisation and imprisonment of Isabel of Castiles legitimate heir. Analysing Juanas 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.

This monograph offers a refreshing look at a monarch that has long been depicted as the mad queen within the literature and popular imaginary, while also demonstrating that popular depictions often ignore Juanas own attitudes towards her kingdom and her place in such. Flemings study captures the significance of Juanas career and its legacy while also illustrating how women, particularly the women of the House of Trastamara-Habsburg, influenced the character of the emerging Kingdom of Spain. (Jessica L. Minieri, Royal Studies Journal, Vol. 7 (2), 2020) This well-crafted study is a must-read for any scholar interested in Spanish and European political history, power, the monarchy, queenship, gender, and disability studies. (Nuria Silleras-Fernandez, Early Modern Women Journal, Vol. 14 (2), 2020) An excellent scholarly biography of Queen Juana I, daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella. Fleming examines Juanas political significance as Queen of Castile and places her within the context of sixteenth century attitudes toward female rule in the Iberian peninsula and beyond. Well written, well researched and interesting to read. Highly recommended. (Carolyn Harris, royalhistorian.com, June, 2018)
