Phillip I to Joanna of Castile

Dear Joanna,

I hope that my letter finds you well. I wanted to ask you something. Do you think it is worth us requesting to visit Sweden and congratulating the new King Gustav on his marriage. I do believe that the Spanish monarch was invited however as representatives of Castile I think it would be nice. What do you think?

Phillip

Dear Philip:

I am well. If you think it is a good idea, then I am all for it but I am not going alone. I go with you. I love you, beloved husvband.

Yours joanna of Castile

Dear Joanna,

Of course I would not want for you to go alone. We shall go together and join them for their festivities. I love you greatly.

Phillip

Dear Philip:

I look forward to travelling with you. I am sure it will prove an interesting trip.

Your wife, Juana of Castile

Dear Joanna,

It is going to be a nice trip. May I suggest you start to pack things ready as soon we will leave.

Phillip

Dear Philip:

I will start to pack as you request. I hope you are well.

Yours Joanna of Castile

Dear Joanna,

I am well thank you, how are you? We shall leave in the morning.

Phillip

Dear Philip:

I am well. I shalt be ready to leave with you in the morning.

Yours Juana of Castile.

Dear Joanna,

I am pleased to hear that you are well. I shall meet you in the courtyard in the morning.

Phillip

The morning came and Joanna of Castile was ready to leave for Sweden. She was awaiting her husband in front of the palace.

I came down to see Joanna.

"You look beautiful as always my love, are you ready to leave for Sweden?

Juana of Castile smiled towards her husband her most ravishing smile. Juana did indeed have a beautiful smile and she said, "Yes, I am ready to leave for Sweden. All is packed. Philip, I have something to ask you?"

I looked back at Juana.

"What is it my love?

"My father, King Ferdinand has written to me and he wished for us to travel to Aragon to meet with him, I told him that I will ask you and that only if you wish it, will we go to Aragon." Juana of Castile remarked.

Juana,

It has been a while since you saw your father. I do think that it would be nice to travel there to see him. First, we should continue on towards Sweden then we can go to see your father. How is he?

Phillip

"He seems to be okay. He will like it if we go to him in Aragon after we visit Sweden. I do not know why wants us to come but i suppose it has been a while as he is concerned since he saw us."Juana of Castile commented.

"There is five of us. My eldest sister, Isabella of Aragon who is wed with Manuel of Portugal and my brother, Juan who wed with your sister, Margaret as you know and then there is me and then there is my younger sister, Maria. They were thinking of wedding her to King James of Scotland and then there is my sister, Catalina who has wed with Prince Arthur of England. That is our family. The family of Isabel of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon." Juana commented.

Dear Juana,

You do have a vast family and many important matches and alliances there too. Your family are very wise just like you are. I do hope that you are happy with me?

Phillip

"Oh, Philip, I am very happy with you. I love you so, so much. You are a kind and considerate man with vast experience in so many areas. I can not wait to give you a son." Juana of Castile enthused.

I smiled at Juana.

"I am glad that you think that way about me. I would so love a son too and I am sure that we will have many healthy children together.

'There is no other way to think, my dearest. I may be with child, Philip. It is too early to know yet but I do get cravings.' Juana of Castile was proud to announce.

I smiled at her as she mentioned the wonderful news.

"That is great news my love and hopefully it is true that you are with child. Did the physician say when he will know if it is true or not?

"He said, for sure, Philip. He said as you well know within nine months." Juana was one happy lady. She was going to give her Philip a child and even if it be a girl which she would lover to have, she is sure that there will next times." How glorious life it, thought Juana of Castile.
