Elizabeth of Aragon (1470-1498) → Isabella, Princess of Asturias (1470-1498) -(Discuss) Elizabeth of Aragon?! This title is against both Common name and Naming conventions (names and titles)! She is not known in English as Elizabeth, just like her mother is not known as Elizabeth I of Castile. Alfonso XII is not called Alphonse XII, is he? Isabella also held a substantive title of Princess of Asturias (in her own right) and according to the naming conventions the correct title of this article is Isabella, Princess of Asturias (1470-1498). She cannot be compared with her younger sister, Katherine of Aragon, who held no substantive title in her own right. Surtsicna (talk) 19:19, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Support Surtsicna (talk) 13:13, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Support: When we say 'Elizabeth of Aragon', we usually have in mind the saint, Saint Elizabeth of Portugal (also an Ysabel, at home). All of these name translations (such as Ysabel to Elizabeth or Afonso to Alphonse) were right at the time, and it's likely that in England in her life-time this Ysabel was spoken of as Elizabeth by people speaking English, when she was spoken of at all, especially if they knew Latin; if so, then the same must be true of her mother. Still, we almost invariably talk now about King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, and I can't see that it would make sense to translate the daughter's name into a different English equivalent while using Isabella for the mother.

Discussion
Spanish Ysabels were rarely known as Elizabeths in England (except for Saint Elizabeth of course). They were (and still are) called 'Isabella' (Latin version of their name). It has aways been Ferdinand and Isabella and Isabella the Catholic. Elizabeth I of England is the only Elizabeth I in English language. What about Isabella II of Spain? Was she ever called Elizabeth II? And what about Isabella of France, Queen consort of England? Who calls her Elizabeth of France? In a nutshell: Isabella, Princess of Asturias, is Isabella - not Elizabeth, not Ysabel, and not Isabel, but Isabella. Surtsicna (talk) 14:02, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Burial
Where was she buried? I got Santa Isabella in Toledo from this site. But is there even a church or monastery in Toledo by the name of Santa Isabella?--Queen Elizabeth II&#39;s Little Spy (talk) 23:54, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
