Note 64 — Chapter VI · FERDINAND AND ISABELLA (continued 2)

[Burkef says, “Ferdinand had at least four illegitimate children by different ladies. Juana, who was offered with a double marriage portion, in 1489, to the king of Scots. Juan, archbishop of Saragossa, and two other daughters, both princesses. Raymond de Cardona (the unworthy successor of Gonsalvo de Cordova in Italy) was also commonly supposed to be a son of Ferdinand. But the king’s faults were certainly not those of a voluptuary.” Prescottg quotes Marineor on “the queen’s discreet and most amiable conduct in these delicate matters.”]
