@fgonzalez43 Probably

@telamon2011 Juana was Queen of Castile. Fernando had signed an agreement at his marriage that he would have no authority in Castile. On the death of Isabel she rose to the throne. All official documents while Charles was king until her death carried her signature too.

@tribetng Who's Phillip? Do you mean Fernando?

[fgonzalez43]

For those questioning the Castilian spoken, at least she authentically uses the vos form. As for the pronunciation, the "lisped" (interdental sybillants) consonants did not exist yet. The z of Mendoza and the c of dice would have been /dz/ and /ts/, respectively..

@tribetng the irony is that, King Henry VIII blamed KOA of not being able to conceive a healthy son, come on, its his sperm that is not doing the job right.

I bet if i could go back to the past and had my time with the MILF, she would have given me many sons.

He is a guy that masturbate and has too much sex with other women and also rides too much horses.

Those horse riding thing can really mess up the sperm system.

I wish people knew more about KOA than Queen Elizabeth.

@nodinitiative You are also right that throughout their time together Katherine was more popular then Henry and had she used military force would have crushed him and been welcomed on to the throne by most people, probably the last time in English history you can say that about a catholic.

@nodinitiative That’s not quite what i said, i said her (KoA’s) status meant nothing but i wasn’t very clear what i should have added was 'to Henry in this matter' Henry didn’t care that she was daughter of empyreal parents or mother of his only child for that matter he wanted his own way. You make a good point there are several examples of women who rose to the top (or close to) but it was still a very unequal world even Isabella had to slightly give way (in public at least) to Phillip.

[nodinitiative]

@tribetng ummmm....the political stature of women meant nothing at that time? I think you must have forgetten that her mother was Isabella of Castille. A very powerful figure.

If KOA was a bitch like Anne or modern day Women :)...King Henry VIII would have lost his crown and head many times over.

And also remember that KOA was the first female ambassador.
