Nature wronged her in not making her a man. But for her sex, she would have surpassed all the heroes of history.

Isabel of Aragon’s letter to her father, Fernando II of Aragon, in which she tells him about her life in Portugal, and expresses her feelings and worry about her parents and her sister-in-law following her brother’s death.
Isabel of Aragon was the firstborn child of the Catholic Monarchs, born in Dueñas, on 2 October 1470. When her parents ascended the throne of Castile in December 1474, she became the Princess of Asturias, sworn in as such during the session of the Cortes in April 1476. During the said session her hand was also promised in marriage to Ferdinand, Prince of Capua, the grandson of Ferdinand I of Naples, formerly having been engaged to Dauphin Charles [future Charles VIII of France]. After her brother Juan was born, on 30 June 1478, she became second in the line of succession. The negotiations with Portugal to end the war of the Castilian Succession began at the time, and according to the Treaty of Alcáçovas, signed on 4 September 1479, Isabel was to marry Alfonso, the grandson of Alfonso V of Portugal, the only son of Prince John of Portugal and his wife Eleanor of Viseu. It was also stipulated the infanta had to move to Portugal in order to live with her betrothed in the Castle of Moura, in the custody of Beatriz of Portugal, Duchess of Viseu, her mother’s aunt until 1483. The marriage was contracted by proxy in Seville, on 18 April 1490, and was ratified in Évora, on 27 November. One year later the prince fell off his horse and died. Isabel was claimed back by her parents. She was devastated, starved herself and plunged into depression, determined not to remarry. At first her father agreed not to force her into new marriage, but when John II of Portugal died in 1495, and Manuel I succeeded him, Fernando changed his mind, considering the new king had declined his proposal to marry his younger daughter, María. Manuel I was determined to marry Isabel. It cost the Catholic Monarchs a lot to persuade their daughter, and although she eventually agreed, she demanded something in return; the expulsion of Jews from Portugal, although it is being debated by scholars whether she had a definitive say in Manuel’s decision on the matter. Isabel’s second marriage took place in Valencia de Alcántara, on 30 September 1497. Her brother, Prince Juan, died four days later, and shortly afterward his widow, Margaret of Austria, suffered a miscarriage. Those unfortunate events made Isabel and her newly-wed husband the new princes of Asturias, sworn in as such at the Cortes of Toledo, on 29 April 1498. Unfortunately, Isabel died in childbirth in Saragossa, on 23 August 1498, while she was waiting to be sworn in as the Princess of Girona by the Aragonese Cortes. Her son, Miguel de la Paz, died on 19 July 1500.
Most high and most puissant King, my Lord
I am not asking Your Highness for forgiveness for not writing to you more often because it is not possible for you to make me feel more shame, no matter how blamed I might be, than the shame I feel for not being able to do it as I would like, and even more so, guessing the command of Your Highness, to abide by and satisfy these people [the Portuguese], who are very lovely, I cannot do as I wish, and the best I can is to see myself having palaces at my disposal until I am deadly tired both physically and spiritually. Truly, my Lord, now I would gladly excuse myself from such pleasures in order to find myself at the service and in the presence of Your Highnesses, so we could live together through the sorrow, that I am hoping our Lord, considering His infinite mercy, will soothe by giving the Lady Princess [Margaret of Austria] a son, guarding him and making him as Your Highnesses wish, in the face of such a misfortune [Juan’s death], we should promptly expect His compassion. And I, my Lord, live in this hope, and I beg Your Highness to take relief in it and in any other thing that may bring it. And for the love of God, sometimes Your Highness ought to take a rest, with all the rest you might have, such distress is very sorrowful and disguised to kill. May God guard Your Highness as the Queen, my Lady, desires, and it seems to me such sorrow is particularly bad for the kidneys. I hope Your Highness has not felt it that way and never will. I kiss the feet and the hands of Your Highness for such favor you do me, by the care you have for my well-being, that everything I would do, following the orders of Your Highness, and everything that would come of it, is for my sake. I, my Lord, will work as much as I can to do so, and will do everything in my power to follow the customs of this place [Portugal], and later I will do so in everything. As for other trivialities of my household and the treatment I receive; no woman has been treated in a more honorable manner by her husband; and I believe it will serve Your Highness better that it is to my advantage and honor of my household, unlike it was under the King of Portugal, my Lord [John II], for he was not well-disposed. I am of such goodwill to show myself Portuguese that without such urgency as the counsel of Your Highness, which is a command to me, I have shown myself as such; and thus I determined to follow the rule of using horses, but now for the trip that we are to take, to visit the Queen of Portugal, my Lady [Eleanor of Viseu, John II of Portugal’s wife and Manuel I’s sister], the King, my Lord, let the Castilian women travel on mules, and the two Portuguese women, whom I already have in my household, are to go on horses that their father will provide them with, so they can have them in my stable. [The Catholic Monarchs’ court traveled on mules.] As for the other things of this place, [Portugal] if I had such a good knowledge of them as Your Highness has of those of that place [Castile and Aragon], when it was necessary for me to show myself Portuguese, considering there are a few Castilians here, I would already speak, but Your Highness should believe that since the majority of people I have to spend time with, are those whom I did not have much contact with when I was here for the first time, I still have much work to do in getting to know them. And without this, and knowing well the things of this place, which are very different from those of the other, I would err in what I would like to say. The King, my Lord, has told me to occupy myself with certain business, pray God I may do this in such a manner that I learn and so that it serves him and Your Highnesses. May God guard and increase the royal life and state of Your Highness with much pleasure, and let me serve Your Highness as I wish. The favor you do me, besides others, in writing to me about the state of the Queen, my Lady, and the Lady Princess [Margaret of Austria], God knows the pity I feel at all times, knowing they are not doing very well; I would like it to be extended, and for Your Highness to command someone to write to me about Your Highness, so that I am informed of everything.
From Évora on 13 November [1497].
From the humble servant and daughter of Your Highness, who kisses your royal feet and hands. The Queen

Charlotte Hope in The Spanish Princess (s1) as Catherine of Aragon
No one expected Isabella to become Queen of Castile. So little attention was given to her birth that historians are not absolutely sure when it occurred. One of the few contemporary clues was a letter written by Isabella’s father, King Juan II of Castile, on April 26, 1451, to the town of Madrid announcing that his ‘dear and beloved wife’ Queen Isabel had given birth to a baby girl the preceding Thursday. That was all. Although we know Isabella was a healthy infant, there were no records of special festivities or celebrations to mark her arrival, not even the mention of a court banquet.
Years after Isabella became queen, her private physician, Dr. Fernan Alvarez de Toledo, recorded her birth date in the Chronicon de Valladolid as April 22 between four and five in the afternoon in the town of Madrigal de la Altas Torres. There, in a small alcove of an airless second-floor bedroom in King Juan’s half Gothic-half Mudejar palace, Isabella first saw the light of day.
Isabella’s baptism is shrouded in similar mystery. Most historians believe she was christened in Segovia, at the Church of Saint Nicolas, although at least one sixteenth-century scholar claimed the ceremony took place in Madrigal’s Church of St. Maria of Castillo.
The scanty information about the first days of Isabella’s life suggests that her birth was barely acknowledged by either the court or the larger kingdom of Castile. When one of King Juan’s messengers announced Isabella’s birth to the city of Burgos, the city fathers were so unimpressed that the courier was tipped a mere 500 maravedis. Two years later, when another envoy proclaimed the birth of Isabella’s young brother Alfonso, he was tipped three times that amount.

hello have some catalina de aragon headcanons:
-she can get really invested in movies and sometimes forgets that the characters can’t actually hear her
—catalina, hissing and throwing popcorn at the tv: louis xiv you little snake! i see what you’re trying to do! you’re going to get raoul killed so you can have christine for yourself aren’t you? well guess what you pretentious idiot, i’m ONTO you, you hear me? I KNOW ABOUT YOUR EVIL PLAN —cathy who just wanted to watch the movie: aragon please
-the first to learn how to drive
-she has a yellow sweater that is so warm and comfy it literally feels like being hugged. the other queens steal it all the time
-she enjoys a couple of different musicals but if asked her favorite musical is in the heights. she likes nina and vanessa the most
-she and anne don’t hate each other. they have more of a sibling-like dynamic in that they like driving each other crazy but also care about each other
—anne, rifling through the kitchen cabinets in a panic, her back to the kitchen table: SOMEONE ATE THE LAST OF THE BLUEBERRY FROSTED POPTARTS —catalina, sitting at the kitchen table, eating the last blueberry frosted poptart: oh no that must be very sad for you
-catalina: anne boleyn is so annoying. she’s so loud and infuriating ugh she’s the absolute worst -anna: she’s literally sleeping on your shoulder and you just put your jacket on her because you thought she might get cold -catalina: the absolute worst
-she likes love stories in movies/books/tv shows
-sometimes she can get very emotional over movies
—jane: are you okay? —catalina, watching the credits for pixar’s coco roll onto the screen, eyes filling up with tears: i’m perfectly fine why do you ask
-tells people off for cursing, curses in Spanish so (at first) no one knows what she’s saying
-she knows what vine is but just never felt the need to share this information with resident memelords anne and kitty
—kitty, seeing a “road work ahead” sign while they’re in the car: haha road work ahead —catalina, without thinking: uh yeah i sure hope it does —anne and kitty: WHAT —catalina: oh no
-cats really like her for some reason
-introduced the queens to milk tea
-is fierce but also kind, responsible but also fun-loving, firm but not self-righteous, basically she’s so much more than just a cardboard cutout that says “i’m catholic and i hate anne boleyn” ok
Aragon: *is having a bad day*
Jane: *trying to cheer her up with affection*
Anne: really? Right in front of my chicken nuggets?
I never expected her. Sometimes people sneak up on you and suddenly you don’t know you ever lived without them.
Elle Kennedy, The Deal (via books-n-quotes)
Joan: Bro
Aragon: Don’t call me bro, I am your mother.
