Everything about Joanna Of Aragon totally explained

Joanna of Aragon (also Juana of Aragon) (1454, Barcelona- 9 January, 1517, Naples) was an infanta (princess) of the Kingdom of Aragon and second Queen consort of Ferdinand I of Naples.

Family

She was the only daughter of King John II of Aragon and his second wife, a noblewoman, Juana Enríquez.
   She was a younger paternal half-sister of Charles of Viana, Blanca of Navarre and Eleanor of Navarre. She was also a younger sister of Ferdinand II of Aragon.

Marriage

On September 14, 1476, Joanna married her paternal first cousin Ferdinand I of Naples. The bride was twenty-two years old and the groom forty-three.
   Ferdinand I was an illegitimate son of Alfonso V of Aragon and his mistress Giraldona Carlino. Alfonso V and her own father John II of Aragon were brothers, both sons of Ferdinand I of Aragon and Eleanor of Alburquerque.
   Joanna and Ferdinand had two children:
  1. Giovanna of Naples (1478 - August 27, 1518). Queen consort to her nephew Ferdinand II of Naples, who was actually her elder.
  2. Carlo of Naples (1480-1486).
Ferdinand I of Naples died on 25 January, 1494 and was succeeded by Alfonso II of Naples, his son from a previous marriage to Isabella of Taranto. Joanna survived him by twenty-three years and continued to live in the court of Naples as a Queen Dowager.
