My dearest daughter Mary,

There is much that you are yet too young to understand about why we are leaving the palace and your father. But there is nothing I regret. Were God to grant me all my time again, I would live exactly as I did the first time, and I would not change my course. I have known love and joy and friendship. For a time, we built what others only dreamt of: Camelot for England and a paradise for us.

Your father casts himself in many troubles, Mary. He fears he has offended God, and so he breaks his mind upon a goose chase for a prize that he can never win. But in his search, he fails to see the biggest prize of all that God has given us, and it is you. Forgive him. Pray that he may find his way again, and that he be may granted his peace.

Believe your purpose, Mary. Be of merry heart.

I love you very much, as I love him. I am his wife. I am Queen of England. I am God’s obedient servant. But you… you are England’s future.

The child, as customary in her maternal line, was named Isabel, and, if her mother was initially disappointed in her sex, she yet cherished her greatly.

- Peggy K. Liss, Isabel the Queen: Life and Times

I beg Your Ladyship to believe Silva and to write to me and do not forget about the Princess, who, for God’s sake, is not to be forgotten…

- Fernando, 16 May 1475 in Cartas autografas de los Reyes Católicos de España: Don Fernando y Doña Isabel, 1474-1502, Amalia Prieto Cantero, carta 2

While I am here, I beg Your Highness to send letters more frequently, that for the life of me, arrive very late; let me know, Your Highness, how the princess is doing, whom I want to see so much.

- Fernando, June 1476 in Cartas autografas de los Reyes Católicos de España: Don Fernando y Doña Isabel, 1474-1502, Amalia Prieto Cantero, carta 8

I appoint my dear and beloved daughter, the said Princess Doña Isabel, as my universal heiress in all my properties, both movable and estate ones. In particular, I appoint her as my heiress and legitimate successor in my kingdoms of Aragon and Sicily, regardless of any laws, charters, instructions or customs of those kingdoms that state that a daughter cannot succeed. I beg the king, my lord [and father], whom God may keep in much peace and prosperity, to use his absolute power, to cancel and annul those laws in this case. And as soon as I can, I myself will cancel and annul those laws in this case. I do not do this out of ambition or greed, or because of great affection that I have for the said princess, although, I love her very affectionately, and more than only legitimate daughter, if it is even possible, especially since she is the daughter of so excellent a queen and mother, that is why I want it even more, and because of the great profit that our kingdoms would gain from it and so that, in this union with Castile and León, one royal person be lord and monarch of all of them.

- Fernando’s last will, 12 July 1475 in Noticias históricas y genealógicas de los estados de Montijo y Teba, editados por el duque de Berwick y de Alba
