Joanna of Castile
Joanna of Castile (6 November 1479 – 12 April 1555), historically known as Joanna the Mad (Spanish: Juana la Loca), was the nominal queen of Castile from 1504 and queen of Aragon from 1516 to her death in 1555. She was the daughter of Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon. Joanna was married by arrangement to the Austrian archduke Philip the Handsome on 20 October 1496. Following the deaths of her elder brother John, elder sister Isabella, and nephew Miguel between 1497 and 1500, Joanna became the heir presumptive to the crowns of Castile and Aragon. When her mother died in 1504, she became queen of Castile. Her father proclaimed himself governor and administrator of Castile.
In 1506, Joanna's husband Philip became king of Castile jure uxoris as Philip I, initiating the rule of the Habsburgs in the Spanish kingdoms. Philip died that same year. Despite being the ruling queen of Castile, Joanna had little effect on national policy during her reign as she was declared insane and confined in the Royal Palace in Tordesillas under the orders of her father, who ruled as regent until his death in 1516, when she inherited his kingdom as well. Her son Charles I became king, and during his reign Joanna was nominally co-monarch but remained confined until her death. Joanna died aged 75 in 1555, at which point her son Charles, the Holy Roman Emperor, became the sole ruler of Castile and Aragon.

Philip I of Castile
Philippe de Habsbourg, dit Philippe le Beau (en allemand : Philipp der Schöne, en néerlandais : Filips de Schone, en espagnol : Felipe el Hermoso), né le à Bruges (comté de Flandre) et mort le à Burgos (royaume de Castille), fils de Maximilien de Habsbourg et de Marie de Bourgogne, est duc de Bourgogne en titre et seigneur des États bourguignons de 1482 à 1506. Du fait de son mariage avec Jeanne de Castille, il est aussi roi de Castille de 1504 à 1506 sous le nom de Philippe Ier.
À la mort de sa mère en 1482, Philippe hérite des possessions bourguignonnes à l'âge de trois ans, sous la régence de son père, qui connaît un certain nombre de difficultés. En 1494, Philippe commence son règne personnel sur les Pays-Bas bourguignons (les « Pays de par-deçà »), ainsi que sur le comté de Bourgogne et le Charolais (les « Pays de par-delà »).
Marié deux ans plus tard à Jeanne (1479-1555), fille des Rois catholiques d'Espagne, il devient, à la mort d'Isabelle de Castille en 1504, roi consort de Castille et de León, titre contesté par son beau-père, Ferdinand II d'Aragon. Officiellement reconnu roi en 1506, il meurt quelques mois plus tard, apparemment d'une fièvre typhoïde, laissant une veuve qui sombre dans une forme de folie.
Philippe le Beau, père des empereurs Charles Quint et Ferdinand Ier, est l'ancêtre commun des Habsbourg d'Espagne et d'Autriche, ceux-ci détenant généralement la fonction élective d'empereur.
