madeleine92posts:„My Ladyship, now at last it is clear which of us two loves best… When you write to me, I will be happy. I lose my sleep, because messenger comes after messenger and brings me no letters from you. Not for lack of paper and not for not knowing how to write but for insufficient love and haughtiness, and because you are in Toledo and I in the provinces…But someday we shall return to our first love. If you do not want to make me kill myself, you should write and tell me how you are…. For God’s sake remember her [Princess Isabel] as well as her father, who kisses your hands. Your servant. The King.” Ferdinand II of Aragon to Isabella I of Castile in a letter of May 16 (1475), written at Tordesillas„I close with great wish to serve you more than ever.”Ferdinand II of Aragon to Isabella I of Castile in a letter of July 15 (1475), written at his camp across The Duero RiverOriginal source: xEnglish translation taken from: Peggy K.
