FERDINAND: "To my daughter, Caterina, I write with news so sad that I can hardly bear to tell of it. Your sister's husband, Philip, whom we all of us loved dearly, had the fever and is dead. Your sister's mind is
weak and full of fantasy, and she spread the godless slander that his death must be
from poison at my hand, that I did it to win
power back in Spain. Joanna tried to rule alone,
but she is cracked with grief. She fell to such a strange madness that I had to have her locked up
in the convent of Santa Clara, and I fear that she will
not regain her wits. The burden of the kingdom falls to me, and I am now ruler of
the Spanish empire. Dear Caterina,
if anyone speaks ill of me, defend my honor, and
I will send your dowry." Dowager princess, you cannot be here
