Joanna ''la Beltraneja'' (21 February 1462 – 12 April 1530) was a claimant to the throne of Castile and queen of Portugal as the wife of her uncle, King Afonso V. ==Birth== Henry IV of Castile married Joan of Portugal, the youngest sister of King Afonso V of Portugal, on May 21, 1455.〔(Hunt, Jocelyn. ''Spain 1474–1598'', p. 5, Routledge, 2013, ISBN 9781136759093 )〕 Seven years later, a daughter, Joanna, was born. Henry had previously been married to Blanche of Navarre. After thirteen years, that marriage was annulled on the grounds that it had never been consummated.〔''Testimonial of the divorce ruling between Prince Henry and the infanta Blanche'', included in (Collection of unedited documents on the history of Spain, vol. XL ), pages. 444-450.〕 This was attributed to a curse, which only affected the king's relationship with his wife; a number of prostitutes from Segovia testified that they had noticed no impairment. The king had no other children and was rumoured to be impotent. Whether true or not, it was widely circulated by Henry's opponents that the little infanta was the child of Beltrán de la Cueva, a royal favorite at court.〔 They called her ''la Beltraneja'', a mocking reference to her supposed illegitimacy. Her mother was banished to Bishop Fonseca's castle where she fell in love with Fonseca's nephew and became pregnant. Henry divorced her in 1468. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joanna la Beltraneja」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
