Origin Isabella was born in 1451 in Ávila, the daughter of John II of Castile and Isabella of Portugal . At the time of her birth she was second in line for the throne of Castile, behind her elder half-brother Enrique. In 1453 she was displaced by the birth of her brother Alfonso. The following year her father died, and she and Alfonso were placed in the care of Enrique, now reigning as King Henry IV. He moved the children and their mother to Arévalo, where they were kept in relatively poor conditions and had little money. Isabella and her brother were educated mainly by their mother, who instilled in both children an exceptionally strong sense of religious piety. In 1462, just prior to the birth of Enrique's first child, Isabella and Alfonso were summoned to Enrique's court at Segovia. There, they enjoyed a relatively opulent lifestyle, and Isabella continued her education as a member of the Queen's household.
