[Ana Valdés]

Juana la Loca was inprisoned in a cloister for many years and it was
her son, Charles the l of Spain and the V of Austria and the Holy
Roman Empire, who ruled in her name. He was born in the 1500. When he
come from Flanders to Spain he didn't speak a word Castilian  and
ruled through his Flemish ministers and cardinals. The cities of
Castilla started a rebellion and were subjuged. Charles abdicated 1555
in favor of his son Philip the ll. During Juanas madness and
incapacity Spain (or Castilla and Aragon and Navarra and many other
smaller kingdoms and fiefs) were ruled by her father Ferdinand and for
her son with a Council of Regency.
