catalina-de-aragon: Isabella of Portugal had white alabaster skin, lush blonde hair combed over her
catalina-de-aragon:Isabella of Portugal had white alabaster skin, lush blonde hair combed over her ears in braids, large hazel eyes, an oval face, a thin neck, and long fingers on her hands. She was tall, slender, had an elegant stride, was intelligent, prudent, discreet, sweet, simple, withdrawn, quiet, detached, pious, and upright in her beliefs and way of behaving, a strong willed woman, though delicate. She was a fashion icon at the Spanish court. Empress Isabella took for her motto, Aut Caesar aut nihil (‘Either Caesar or nothing’). -- source link
