Ferdinand, absent at the time in Italy, was restored to the regency of Castile, which he held undisputed except for futile claims of the Emperor Maximilian for the rest of his life. The years of Ferdinand's sole rule displayed his worst characteristics, which had been restrained during his noble consort's life.
The Princess possessed an admirable admixture of grace and beauty, wit being allied to great affability and good-nature; to all these natural gifts she added a capacity and intelligence such as one might desire sovereigns to possess. Her coquetry was mere amiability; of that I am convinced. Being naturally vain, the Prince, her husband, made great use at first of his consort's royal coat-of-arms.
