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.
