Summary
I'm joined today by Dr. Emma Cahill Marron to explore the life of Juana of Castile, the elder sister of Katherine of Aragon, commonly known as "Juana the Mad." The historical portrayal of Juana as "the Mad" has been unjust, and in this episode, we aim to uncover the true story behind her life.
