Alfonso and Isabella of Castile with their mother.


La Catolica y El Hombre

On the new year of 1468, Isabella of Castile would be playing of the butterflies on the garden of her brother and wondering if her brother will continue to plot to marry her to the Portuguese king.

On the early part of 1468, Henry IV of Castile would learn that Isabella herself is scheming on her back and he would choose that Isabella to remain on close guard to prevent a marriage with Ferdinand, the son of the King of Aragon, this was to protect his young daughter Joanna of Castile, who would die of pneumonia shortly after preventing a possible betrothal of Isabella of Castile, leaving Isabella to be the one betrothed and married to John of Portugal who was tentative to marry her own niece who died in pneumonia.

Henry and Isabella would meet Ferdinand of Aragon who is currently betrothed to Isabella at this point and told John that he is against a possible marriage between Isabella and Ferdinand.

The marriage between John of Portugal and Isabella of Castile would happen just a few months after the death of Isabella of Castile’s niece, Joanna of Castile which would mean the unification of the thrones of Portugal and Castile in the future, however that would mean that Aragon would lose its chances to regain the counties of Roussillon and Cerdanya, John of Portugal would allow his own sister, Joanna to retire in a convent temporarily as he is planning marriages for her and many of them would be refused by her as she herself is interested in religion except for one that would change her mind due to a vision that she saw on her dreams.

On December 1468, Isabella, Princess of Asturias marries the 13-year-old Prince of Portugal, John which would unite the two kingdoms in the future, she is 17 now at this point.

Meanwhile on the other side of Iberia the Prince of Aragon, Fernando is sad that he cannot marry Isabella who his mother wanted him to marry, both John II of Aragon and his son, Fernando would cry that he would not be able to regain the lands that France took from them.

The Aragonese are forced to compromise with the Castilians in the West and the French in the East due to the French king taking the counties of Rousillon and Cerdagne from the crown of Aragon and the two are said to weep upon the marriage of Isabella of Castile and John, Prince of Portugal.
