Exequias por la reina Juana I en Londres: religión, política y arte

RESUMEN: Alejada de la corte, encerrada en el palacio de Tordesillas, Juana I fue sin embargo la soberana hasta su muerte en 1555. Su hijo y su nieto honraron su memoria con sendos funerales en Bruselas y Londres, que se repitieron a lo largo del reino. No se trataba tan solo de recordar a la difunta, sino sobre todo de trazar la línea sucesoria, dejando claro quién ocupaba el poder. En Londres, estos actos sirvieron también para arremeter contra los protestantes y escenificar la relación que, con los Habsburgo, poseía la reina María Tudor a raíz de su matrimonio con Felipe II. Palabras clave: Juana I, funerales, Londres, Felipe II, María Tudor. ABSTRACT: Away from the court and locked in the palace of Tordesillas, Joanna, however, was queen until her death in 1555. Her son and grandson honored her memory with two funerals that took place in Brussels and London, and which were replicated throughout the kingdom. It was not only about remembering the defunct, but especially to draw the line of succession, making it clear who had the power. In London, these events were also used to attack the Protestants and perform the relationship that Queen Mary Tudor had with the Habsburgs as a result of her marriage with Philip II. Keywords: Joanna I, funerals, London, Philip II, Mary Tudor.
