This is not so much about her life as a judgement on her ability to own her life.
Not what I was looking for really but the only biography I can access🤷🏽♀️

Juana I was typical for her time and class as far as bigotry, bias, homophobia and racism.
Which can make it a struggle to feel sorry for her.
Still her father, husband and son are all horribly abusive to her.
It's a bit heartbreaking.

'Cisneros’ conversion strategy, implacably pursued, included
bonfires of Arab and Muslim writings....led to uprisings. These were crushed with difficulty... following atrocities on both sides.'
The Muslim population was being oppressed, whatever they engaged in to protect themselves can't be confused with mutual combat.
Only mutual combat is 'atrocities on both sides' territory. In this case, Castile was wrong.

There just are not enough english translations of Spanish and Portuguese history.
Just checked on Amazon, Lois, the price is much beyond my payroll lol :)

This biography is available through Kindle or SCRIBD or Cloud Library, not sure on my kindle it all downloads to the same place. So I guess this will be my sole choice until more available.
