Philip treated Juana terribly during the ten year marriage. She was thought of as “mad,” which is an unfair assertion. She was understandably devastated by the death of her mother. Philip passed away two years after Isabella. Juana’s situation unfortunately got worse from here. 3/3
Juana was the older sister of #KatherineofAragon. They shared a close relationship. Philip was the son of a Holy Roman Emperor and a member of the #Habsburg family. 2/3
Happy (?) unfortunate anniversary to Juana of Castile and Philip the Handsome who married #OTD in 1496. 1/3

It was published in 1535 including both Old and New Testament. In 1537 the first complete Bibles were printed in England. Coverdale was also involved in the Great Bible of 1539. 2/2
The Coverdale Bible compiled by Myles Coverdale was the first complete modern English translation of the Bible. It was printed in Antwerp. Its full name is The Bible, that is the Holy Scripture of the Old and New Testament, faithfully translated into English. 1/2
