Joanna of Austria, Princess of Portugal

Joanna of Austria (in Castilian, Doña Juana de Austria; in Portuguese, Dona Joana de Áustria, 24 June 1535 – 7 September 1573) was Princess of Portugal by marriage to João Manuel, Prince of Portugal. She served as regent of Spain for her brother Philip II during his trips to England to marry Mary I from 1554 to 1556, and 1556 to 1559. She was the mother of King Sebastian of Portugal.

Married at 16 to her even younger husband, Joanna was widowed after two years, giving birth in the same month to her only child. Later that year Joanna returned to Spain at her father's request, leaving her young son in the care of her mother-in-law, who was also her aunt. She never saw Sebastian again, but corresponded and had portraits sent. In later life Joanna was active in religious affairs.

Description

Elizabeth of Valois (1545–1568) was the daughter of King Henry II of France. As a result of the peace treaty signed between France and Spain in 1559, she became the third wife of King Philip II of Spain, although she had previously been engaged to marry his eldest son, Don Carlos.The distance required in a court portrait between the subject and the viewer is enhanced by the magnificence and stiffness of the richly embroidered clothing.
