In fact many royal mistresses had just as much power as the wives. In some cases - like Diane dePoitier (sp?) - more. Juana would've been raised on how a royal lady deals with this. Like her sister Catherine of Aragon.<br /><br />I have no desire to see this film, as I always thought Phillip, Ferdinand, and even her son Charles V, bit of jerks on how they treated her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
