latristereina:Unfortunately, this trip to Zaragoza, undertaken by the Queen couldn’t reach its destination. Doña Isabel left Toledo in order to go to Madrid, first going to Trujillo, to see Doña Teresa Enríquez, her friend and former servant of Doña Juana, with whom she stayed for eight days, certainly looking for consolation, given the sorrow she felt upon seeing her daughter’s mental state…From there she left for Madrid… On the road, she fell gravely ill and had to be taken to the Alcázar of Madrid, where she stayed for some time. When her husband was informed about the gravity [of her illness], as soon as the swearing-in [of Juana and Felipe as Fernando’s heirs] was carried out, he came back at the Queen’s side. All of this was described by professor A. Rumeu de Armas, in his beautiful conference “Madrid and the Catholic Kings”, who comments on Fernando’s attention, who didn’t leave his wife’s bedside until she was seemingly better. - Amalia Prieto Cantero’s commentary to “Cartas autógrafas…”, p. 137My translation was approved by @thenameismg, so I dedicate this post to her. You are of invaluable help to me, my dear. -- source link
