It was April 21, 1509 and little 9 year old Bianca of Castile was now a widow. To be more precise, the king's widow of King Henry VII, may he rest in peace. They were only married for a short time and only had a small wedding, but she was nevertheless crowned Queen of England. And now Bianca was Queen Dowager. How will she manage her life now?
Bianca of Castile is the daughter of Joanna I of Spain, making her an Infanta, a princess of Spain. Isabella was born on November 15, 1498 in the Habsburg Empire with her twin sister Eleanor.
She was offered to Henry VII as Joanna's wife. He accepted this for the sake of the alliance and because he felt sorry for little Bianca. That is why he crowned her because he will bless the spiritual side of her before her, and he does not want to leave her without one.
Bianca was given the title of Queen Dowager, as well as numerous other titles and her income of 12,000 British pounds per year, which in today's currency is 4 to 5 million pounds.
