About Isabella of Aragon, Duchess of Milan
- Isabella of Aragon (2 October 1470 – 11 February 1524), also known as Isabella of Naples, was Duchess of Milan by marriage to Gian Galeazzo Sforza and suo jure Duchess of Bari.
- Her life was characterised by the political crises surrounding the Italian Wars.
- Isabella often found herself torn between her native Kingdom of Naples and her marital home of the Duchy of Milan, causing her to suffer personal and political difficulties.
- After a difficult marriage and lack of support in Milan, she received the Duchy of Bari.
- This change in circumstances gave Isabella the opportunity to form her own court as well as build up political support and security against the ongoing wars.
- These reforms along with her interest in arts and literature, resulted in Bari undergoing revival and refurbishment.
- During this period, she also concentrated on the education of her daughter Bona, who became Queen of Poland.
