Home > Henry IV of Castile


 

Henry IV was not a strong king. All through his reign he suffered the undesirable nickname Henry the Impotent.

During Henry's reign the noble's increased in power and the nation became less centralised. Due to this nickname when he died a succession war broke out between his daughter(?) Joanna who was supported by Portugal and the eventual winner his half sister Isabella of Castile who had the support of Aragon via her husband Ferdinand and later in the war France.
