Juana, Queen of Castile is widely remembered by her unfortunate nickname of 'the Mad/la Loca'. However, I can't seem to find an unbiased source confirming that she was ACTUALLY crazy for cocopuffs - since her father, husband and son all had a vested interest in her "madness" being a reality.
However, these days, the usual reading of her symptoms is that of manic depression at best and schizophrenia at worst. Now my actual POD is that her father/husband doesn't succeed in having her declared unfit to rule. Is this at all possible? Or is the 16th century Spanish version of a padded cell the best she can hope for?
