Previously...
News have come from Flanders.
Your sister, Isabella, is dead.

I will hold back the news of my sister's death
for a few hours. Which is enough to marry you.

Don Hern�n Cort�s? His Majesty sends me
to judge over Cort�s's insults to the Crown.

Nobles of France, the treaty I signed
in Madrid remains defeasible.

Does he think that I will make do
with getting a ransom for his sons?

He knows well that you will refuse it.
Just waits for your refusal

in order to blame you, and,
this way, he could have revenge.

Italy must get rid of the Imperial troops
which surrounds it.

My soldiers with yours
will achieve it.

They neither reward me with the governance
nor withdraw my conviction.

What more
can you do?

I will go back to Castile
and defend myself in front of the King.

You were right. I should have never
trusted the King of France.

Finish
what you started.

I ordered you either to come back
with the bull or not to come back at all!

Your Highness, now you
need me more than ever.

- Isabella? Isabella...
- We will be parents.

Don Philip,
Prince of Castile.

France and Rome has united
their forces to attack us.

- Where?
- In Lodi, near Pavia.

The Duchy of Milan
is ours again.

I warned you!
Our alliance was not enough.

- The alliance with Suleiman is necessary.
- You make me choose between my conscience and my position.

Her Royal Highness,
Do�a Mary of Hungary.

That Suleiman wanted to invade Hungary, everybody was
aware of. And you did nothing to impede this tragedy.

All that we have collected for the troops
in Italy will go to the hands of my brother.

There will be no more venture
than the defense of Vienna.

Rome has been sacked.
And they have been our troops.

Infected

6 May 1527

Your Holiness!

Hurry up,
for God's sake!

We must leave for Orvieto
as soon as possible!

The Imperials will not
hesitate to enter!

All the princes
of the Christendom,

I, Clement VII,
successor of Peter,

promulgate to Your Highnesses
the crimes committed

in the most holy Rome
by Charles, Holy Roman Emperor.

May the whole Christendom hear
my request of justice and help

in this moment
of pain and misfortune.

May man not let this offense to God
go unpunished.

Corpus Christi.

I assure you that Monsignor
will never enter the Court again.

I wish Rome could be payed out
with a barefaced bishop's disdain.

You are not to blame for the abuses
of a troop of criminals.

Criminals or not, they fought for me,
the Emperor. Defender of the faith,

who the Christendom considers today
worse than an heretic.

The truth is that the libels
against get to everywhere.

- We have to stop them quickly.
- How?

You have in the kingdom
pens capable

of refuting such big lies
with good reasons.

Let us do this. All the European courts
have to know about your grief

- and condemnation for the sack.
- Will that be enough?

The injurious words
can fight the wiser words.

However, freeing His Holiness
would also help.

Your troops keep him
locked up in Orvieto.

So that he could continue
to scheme against me?

You will recover the favor
of the nobles of Castile.

- Have I lost it, maybe?
- No, my lord.

But there are some people who ask themselves
what kind of king they serve

who dares to lift his hand
against the head of the Church.

My enemies' league is weaker
if he is isolated.

Let us give him time.

Let him think
his deeds over.

We are all sinners.

His Holiness is not less sinful
than I am.

Listen: "Whoever lies with the woman
of his brother commits sin."

Do you see?
My arguments are just.

What theologian could
deny me the annulment?

Your Highness,
you should read this.

The Holy Father
sends it.

He demands your help to break
the circle of the Imperial troops.

He forgot it within a short time
that he denied me his.

I have already warned him
that he would miss us.

However,

I think it would be useful
to help him.

Do you want me to send
my troops to Italy?

Imagine the cost
of a similar campaign.

His Holiness would be
in your debt.

Should it not
satisfy him?

You are my chancellor,
for St. George.

Find a way to relieve me of
Catherine without ruining me.

Then,

don't go alone.

My lord, listen to
my loyal Cromwell.

In Italy, he learnt everything
that is to know

about swimming
and saving the clothes.

Tighten the bonds
with the King of France,

and go together against the Imperials
to free the Pope.

That arrogant Francis will
want to take all the credit.

I will prevent it.
Trust me.

I assure you that England will be
the ensign of such a sacred mission.

There will be no one in the Christendom
who would overshadow you.

Are you sure that bastard worm
will give me the bull

if I give him back
his freedom?

You will not find
more powerful theoligical arguments

to succeed
in your objects.

Can you explain to me
why I cannot talk to my husband?

Numerous state affairs
engage His Highness.

Is it amongst them to forbid that
my daughter's letters get to me?

Is it not enough that he takes
my privileges away, one by one?

What is the aim
of so much cruelty?

Come to your senses
and the waters will return to their course.

How could I, if, doing so,
I deprive my daughter of her heritance?

The legitimacy of Mary
will never be exchange currency!

In that case, my lady, excuse me.
Other affairs require me.

I will not give in!

Henry will not
have his wil!

Try to be protected
when you let him know that.

One day,
Your Reverence,

my disgrace

will be yours.

In his infinite wisdom, God is
subjecting the Pope to a hard test.

And, in the meanwhile,
He gives us an opportunity of gold.

The infamy of his troops makes
the Emperor an infected man.

An infected man
whose treasury is empty.

And France will not let the emergency call
of His Holiness go by.

So we will
invade Italy.

A new army will enter in the north
and recover the Duchy of Milan.

Once the position is secured in the duchy,
we will advance towards Orvieto.

No doubt, it would be good
if the Supreme Pontiff returned to Rome,

escorted by
French troops.

But how will you impede that the Emperor
could send reinforcements from the south?

Besieging Naples
on sea and land.

On sea?

- With what fleet?
- With Admiral Andrea Doria's fleet.

That Genovese sells
his services at high rate.

And we have already lost
enough in this war.

For God's sake, mother.
Forget that traitor of Bourbon.

I will find
the necessary funds.

It is not wise to go beyond
the own strength.

Do you demand wisdom from me now?
You forced me to attack Charles

when my advantage against him
was much weaker.

Now I have the chance to defeat him
and, at the same time,

to rise to be the leader
of the Christendom!

I don't deny it. The military triumph would be
as important as the political triumph. And still...

My deals with the Turks
have overshadowed my glory.

This victory will
give back its splendor.

I will do the impossible
to achieve it.

Calm down, mother.
We are not alone in this venture.

I suppose you are Cardinal Tavera,
to whom I have to pay my duty.

You are not mistaken.
I hope you had a good journey.

Boring because the desire to defend myself
in front of the King seemd to lengthen the days.

I have brought a few gifts
to the Emperor.

You will wait
until you are required.

Let the gold
be welcome.

But his presence here
could not be less appropriate.

Do we have news about the suit
against him in New Spain?

Not yet. But that man had demonstrated
that he is a traitor to the Crown.

Your Majesty, you promised justice
for all your subjects.

Does someone who gave you so much
doesn't deserve the opportunity to defend himself?

Don't let the shine of the gold
impede you to see the insults.

No matter how much the Crown
needs these riches.

What should I do
with that Cort�s, then?

I will not listen
to his reasons

until our inquisitors
send their reports.

Then, I will give him
the right to explain himself.

I promised justice.
That is true.

So if he is guilty
he will pay for it on the scaffold.

Your Majesty, I fear
I don't bring the best news.

Representatives of France and England
have entered Aragon.

They ask for protections and escort
so that they could come here.

Give the ambassadors
what they wish.

They are the Chancellor of England
and the Constable of France.

You are in my debt
and I want to collect it.

I am not the one to blame
for you are such a bad card player.

Damned Pizarro...!

Cousin!

- I am glad to see you safe and sound.
- And I am glad to see you in one piece.

The fatigues are not a few that
I suffered in that land we call Peru

but all remained behind.
I know about yours, too.

We did not only have to fight against
natural forces but also against...

our enemies who are present everywhere
and cross our way.

His Majesty will not
receive you at the moment.

Does my sovereign
the least idea

about the journey I had
in order to fall to his feet?

You have to wait.
Be thankful.

I didn't expect to see you
in this company, Your Reverence.

What brings you
to me?

Your Majesty, it is not enough that you took
my lord, the King of France, prisioner,

now you keep His Holiness,
the Pope, imprisoned.

As the Christian princes' representatives,
we are demanding his freedom.

It surprises me that
your lord have demands for me

- when he doesn't fulfill what was signed.
- What did you come for? Be clear.

My lord, King Henry, warns you
that he will resort to force

to free the supreme pontiff
if it is necessary.

Neither will the King of France tolerate anymore
this treatment you give him.

Stop it or we will not hesitate
to put our armies against you.

Your lord hasn't stopped waging war
on me, not for one day, for 6 years!

So, now that he warns me
I will defend myself better.

As to you, Your Reverence, I answer you
that you will never obligate me by force

to anything I would not want
to do of my own free will.

Should I suppose that
everything is ready?

Andrea Doria's ships are sailing
towards their destiny now.

Excellent. We looked for the war
and now we have it.

Nothing keeps us
here, then.

Go on. I still have a duty
to do for my king.

What is the state
of our forces?

The state of our treasury is
what we should worry about, Your Majesty.

I am obligated to enter into a war
I don't wish and cannot finance.

And with the Turks
by the gates of the Empire.

I have not tried for more
but maintaining the peace

between the Christian princes,
at the risk of seeming to be a fool.

While the ambition
and the envy don't let

Francis see
who is the real enemy.

On an occasion, I asked you
not to negotiate with France.

But now I advise you
all the contrary.

I will not sit with him again.
His word is worth nothing.

Negotiate with the Pope,
then.

Draw the Holy Father
to your side.

Offer him an honourable way out
that doesn't neither his dignity nor yours.

If you succeed, your enemies
will remain without arguments.

My lord, the Queen is right.
What can we lose if we try?

Forgive me if I disturb you
but I looked for the occasion to talk to you.

We heard enough. I don't know
what more you could add.

The matter that brings me to you
could only be understood by a mother.

My lord has not had news about the dauphin
and his brother for a long while.

He is the only one to blame
for his sons' situation.

I apply to your heart
for authorizing me to see them

and to give them their father's love
who doesn't forget them.

I will make
this meeting possible.

But you will not
be alone.

Excuse me, Your Majesty. I am bringing
a few reading which I hope the Queen will like.

- What readings?
- Poems.

The sun is shining
beautifully today.

It is.

And the wind brings
the scent of the mountains.

Have a mount saddled
for me.

Wait.

Saddle another for you.
You will accompany me.

I want to make a donation
to the Hieronymites.

Ego te absolvo. In nomine Patris
et Filii et Spiritus Sanctii.

Amen.

Winning the war without being in peace
with God would not be an easy task.

Thank you for requiring
my company, Your Majesty.

It is an honour
to me.

When did you take service
with my mother, the Queen, in Tordesillas?

On a day of the apostle St. Simon,
when I was 11 years old.

I know about
your loyalty.

You are righteous man.
If it was not for you

the Empress would have abandoned Castile
without that I could impede it.

I just try to serve both of you
in the best way, Your Majesty.

Soon there will be changes in my wife's household
so that it suits the uses of Castile.

From now on, I want you
to be her equerry.

- I don't know how I could thank you for it.
- It will not be necessary.

Let us say goodbye
to this place of retreat.

We have to go back
to the Court.

How could they forget
their own language?

Do you think the Emperor
got to draw them to him?

I calculated wrong the danger
I exposed them to.

But if I was mistaken then
I will not be now.

I will obligate him to give my sons back to me,
taking a very precious possession away from him.

The Pope will have to wait.
I will put my armies against Naples.

This is not what was agreed
with England.

The Emperor believes
we are going to Orvieto.

The surprise will be
our best trump.

I am not opposed to the conquering
of Naples, you know that well but...

Why not win the favour
of the Pope before?

- Of the whole Christendom?
- I want to see Charles broken.

Defeated! I want him to see
his dominions become ashes!

I want him to regret the day
when he wanted to take my sons away from me!

- Your sons...
- Everything else will have to wait!

I would invite you
to take a seat

but we don't have worthy seats
to offer you.

The Emperor is deeply
sorry for your situation.

First of all,
for the things happened in Rome.

I didn't see grief in any of
his soldiers when they fired,

robbed and killed everyone and everything
what came into their way.

His Majesty suffers
because of the actions of his troops.

But do know that nothing
of those was ordered by him.

And the soldiers who keeps me under siege,
do they not obey his orders either?

The troops that besiege you today
could escort you to Rome tomorrow.

You just have to leave
that league which has been formed

to deprive the Emperor
of his power.

- Power taken legally.
- Immense power!

Excessive!
Like your lord's arrogance.

You and our lord are called
for the same purpose.

And you should do it
hand in hand.

What do you say?

That I will wait here

for the victory
of the French.

His Majesty will
receive me tomorrow.

He has not given you
the audience yet?

It seems he likes to see me
waiting. Day after day.

How long will I have to
endure this humiliation?

I will not keep knocking
on that door.

The Empress!

They say she is pious
and has a good heart.

I fear, Your Majesty, the Holy Father
is readily your victim,

waiting for your enemy
to free him.

Keeping him captured
only brings us more hatred.

But freeing him with good will
will not bring us any advantage either.

No, His Holiness doesn't seem
to change sides because of that.

Trust your men,
my lord.

They will resist
the attack of the enemy.

Your Majesty. A second army
sent by the King of France

has entered
Italy.

Do you keep believing that
our troops will be able to resist?

Where are they going?

Neither to Rome nor to Orvieto,
according to our spies. But to Naples.

Given how thing are on the sea, it will be
a miracle if it doesn't fall into French hands.

Your Majesty, I know about the importance
of Naples for the Crown of Aragon

and for you yourself.
But it should not impede us

to see the opportunity
the Frenchman offers us.

He missed to free
the Pope.

Imagine the frustration
of His Holiness.

We have to use it
for our benefit.

If Francis doesn't free him,
I will not keep him imprisoned any longer.

Your Majesty.

You have a good taste
for the writings.

Do you say
this...

Garcilaso is
your friend?

Did something
happen?

I heard that the young Alba said
the French wanted to take Naples.

May God help us!

Are you not well?

You have nothing
to fear, my lady.

I would like to have
a mass for our soldiers.

- Can you handle it?
- Yes.

There is a convent where, in more
than one occasion, I have retired.

I could do it there,
if you think it appropriate.

Please.

I would like to be
present at the service.

Give them
the notification.

The Pope is free now.
And do you know who freed him?

Our troops?
No, they did not.

The French?
Nor did they!

It was Charles
himself!

Your advices are
worth quite little.

Nothing you recommend
favors me in the end.

I am leaving for France this very day,
so that the king explains to me...

You are going to do
what I order!

Make the Pope
send me a nuncio.

What for,
my lord?

He will preside the trial
I am going to open against Catherine.

Your Highness, with all due respect,
a trial has risks.

Because you cannot
predict the solution.

Maybe it would be better to come to
an agreement with your wife, my lord.

That Spanish woman is as stubborn
as a mule. She will never give in.

- I believe you should...
- Don't ever tell me again

what I should
and should not do!

I have lost too much time and money
because of listenning to you.

There will be trial!

And the Pope will give his blessing
to the verdict which will not be nothing else

but the dissolution
of my marriage.

Make it be
that way

because otherwise
I predict you a bad future.

Could you not fall
asleep tonight either?

How could I sleep when
my kingdoms are in danger?

If we lose Naples
we will have lost the war.

Naples and Sicily are essential
in the defense against the Turks.

My grandfather knew it well, who did not
stop until he had it in Aragonese hands.

You know that the victory
is a fickle lady.

Even if it seems that she is
given over to Francis today

perhaps she will be
with you tomorrow.

The victory
is not enough.

No matter who wins,
there will be another war soon.

The fight
will not end.

I will have to leave
Spain soon.

If it were up to me
I would never be away from you.

Not for a day,
not for an hour.

I am the Caesar's wife.

And I know
what it means.

Someone will have to
assume the regency.

I want you
to be the one.

I trust your wisdom
and good judgement.

You will not be alone.
Loyal men will accompany you.

If the task causes you
any fear, say it.

My only fear is
not being suited for your trust.

But I swear

that you will always find
your most loyal servant here.

We will have to face
everything together.

Bocs�ssa meg,
hogy �gy megsz�l�tom.

I understand you are
the Queen's equerry.

Yes, I am.
Who am I talking to?

Hern�n Cort�s,
Governor of New Spain.

I have heard
about you.

Then you must have heard
many imprecations against me.

However, I need to
ask for something.

Let this letter get
into the Empress's hands.

I understand
your doubts.

But I assure you that,
giving me this grace,

you help a man
who only looks for justice.

You have to take
this letter back.

My lady,
I am sorry.

I am sorry that man's dejection
made me accept his errand.

You should not let yourself
be seduced by his words.

That man is under suspicion
and waits for the judgement of a tribunal.

Please,
forgive me.

Francisco,

your heart is kind
but you should be more careful

and not let others use you
for their goals.

Especially, if they want
to compromise me with it.

Stop there!
Do not take another step.

Your Majesty.

Only the desperation forces me
on such an impertinence.

Just let me tell you
a few words.

Sheathe
your sword.

He followed us,
Your Majesty.

Don't be afraid,

trust me.

- I know who you are.
- Then you must know

that I have come to Castile
to fall on my knees in front of your husband,

my lord.

But how can I defend myself
if he denies me the grace of seeing him?

This crucifix

has accompanied me
for long nights of dangers

and also when
I saw my men,

our men,

fall into
our enemies' hands.

I swear by this crucifix that everything
I have done I have done for my king.

Including my mistakes.

I apply to your piety
for asking you help

and clemency.

Is it true what they told me?
That Cort�s addressed you during a walk?

- It is.
- I swear he will pay!

No need. Because neither his words
nor his actions offended me.

I am the one
to blame.

I was not careful enough and I let
that man get to Her Majesty.

If she is compromised
it is because of my clumsiness.

Leave us!

Don't blame
Francisco.

The devotion for his queen
inspired his deed.

I gave word to Cort�s because he saw
in me the search for justice.

Did you give word
to an enemy of the Crown?

A supposed criminal despite I have
denied him the audience?

Isabella?
What is it?

Call a physician!

If anything bad happens to her
I will never be able to forgive myself.

I should not have
incriminated her this way.

Brother,

you have another
daughter.

Is she healthy?

Look at her.

We will name her Mary
like my sister.

I give thanks to God
that you are alright.

Otherwise, I would have died
of remorse and guilt.

Don't suffer like this
because of me.

Can you
forgive me?

I can,
for one reason.

Because I love you
above all things.

I don't deserve you.

Your Majesty...

A trial? How dares he?
Henry has gone too far!

With England on the enemies' side,
we can do a little for your aunt.

Everything is
in the Pope's hands.

He should not give in
to the temptation of pleasing him!

I have had news about
that the King of England,

our brother in the faith,
wants to subject the validity

of his marriage with my very
beloved aunt to a suit.

May the freedom I gave you back
restrain your hand

so that it never seals
such a felony

because just like how I gave it
to you I can take it away again.

You will go to England
but don't express any opinion

until it is known which side
God, Our Lord takes.

I will do so,
Your Holiness.

The mere appearance
in front of a tribunal

is a humiliation that
any queen should endure.

You, so beloved by the English,
deserve to avoid this unworthy moment.

You are still in time.
Do justice to the King.

Acknowledge that you lay with his brother
when you were married.

And then?

Ask for the entering
into a convent.

I will do it
willingly

if Henry does
the same.

So both of us will clear
our souls of the same sin.

Even if you don't
believe it

I only try to find a solution
worthy of a queen of England.

And to assure, with this,
the succeed for my husband.

Would you
be here

if you were certain that
the trial will work out in his favour?

Going against a king's will
is risky, my lady.

You could end up
on the scaffold.

Don't say that
I have not tried.

I will send you someone
to represent you on the cause.

Save the jokes.

I will defend
myself.

You? What do you know
about laws?

I didn't know
how to war either

and yet I stood on the front of my armies
which killed James of Scotland

while my husband
fought in France.

London

My dear Anne,

I would prefer
if you were not present.

This Boleyn is a strange woman.
By day, she is an impatient bitch,

and at night,
a virtuous novice.

At least,
with His Highness.

Catherine,
Queen of England!

Show yourself
before this tribunal!

My lord,

I am coming to you

because you are the justice
in this kingdom.

For 20 years,

I have been
a loyal wife to you.

I have loved all
you have loved,

no matter if I had
a motive or I had not,

if they were friends
or enemies.

Get up.

We are neither king
nor queen here,

we are man
and wife.

Then why should man separate
what God has united?

Or nothing that we have
shared matters now?

When did I stop
being your wife

who could win
your people's love?

Are these not your own words,
so many times repeated?

Inside and outside of England
it is known

that I am a man
who speaks too much.

God is my witness

when you had me for the first time
I was truly maiden.

I apply to your conscience
so that you say whether it is true

- or it is not.
- My lady,

you should take seat and wait
for the tribunal to ask you.

In the name
of clemency,

save me from
this humiliation.

If you don't want to give me
such a little favour

may your wish
come true.

That I entrust
my cause to God.

Stop!

I you leave this hall
you will be declared rebellious.

Do as you wish!

I will not remain
by this tribunal

because I don't acknowledge
its authority.

That Genovese's fleet will succeed in
defeating us without fighting a battle.

The hunger and the epidemics
take that over.

Several Neapolitan barons took
advantage of it and changed sides.

Now, they fight
together with France.

- We need to send more troops.
- No Castilian noble

will give any more maravedi
if it is not to defend our borders.

Your refusal will
lead us to the disaster.

That is right. To a disaster, and its only
reason is the deadly feud of two kings!

- Fernando! Hold your tongue.
- No!

Speak.

My lord, we have always
paid respect to your call.

But those who hailed you as emperor
cannot bear the weight anymore.

These kingdoms bleed to death
because of your fead.

- And it will not end until one of you dies.
- May God not let it be true!

Nobody could ask for
such a victory.

Because the whole Christendom
would be ruined.

He is right.

Now it is time that Francis and I
solve our differences, face to face.

- A duel?
- There is no other way

- to end this blood sucking.
- Stand off. Please.

- Think about me and our children.
- This is the only thing I do.

Before I leave
Philip will be sworn as my heir.

The succession in Spain
will remain assured.

Have you lost
your mind?

You are the Emperor!

Your mission is to achieve the peace between
the Christian kingdoms, not to sacrifice yourself!

Peace is impossible
with Francis.

God will help me
because the justice is on my side.

I swear I will come back because I know that
you and my children will be waiting for me.

Your sacrifice will be useless.
My pain, eternal.

The war has already
taken too much time.

A duel would end it
once and for all.

I cannot believe
you are speaking seriously.

Each day that passes,
the debt with Doria increases.

- Your life is worth more.
- And what other choice do I have, mother?

The refusal would be a dishonor.
I will not let him humiliate me again.

If it is your honor
you worry about

I guarantee you
it will remain intact.

Leave it
to me.

I will find
the solution.

Your Highness.

Forgive that I am surprised but I thought
I would appear before the King.

I am sorry
but he cannot welcome you.

He is not
at the Court.

I see.

Although, I have to insist. My lord,
the Emperor wishes to give him...

What you lord wants is a nonsense.
And you know that.

If there is no defy
there will be no duel.

The honor of both of them will remain sound
because none of them will refuse.

This has gone too far
and we have to put an end to it.

I will tell
my lord

about the impossibility
of completing my mission.

Tell him, too, that France is
ready to negotiate the peace.

I will let him
know that.

But I don't know
what will be his answer.

I trust
His Majesty's reason,

and the reason of those
who surround him.

A very opportune absence
that of the King of France.

We had to think
he was a coward.

Regarding the negotiation,
do you think the offer is sincere?

So it seemed.
Maybe it is not a trap

but a sign that our enemy
is not as strong as we believed.

It is better to negotiate now
when nothing is decided yet

than to accept
the winner's conditions.

I swore that I would never sit in front
of someone who doesn't know honour.

And I will
keep it.

But you are right.

We will negotiate.

At least, we will save time
to reorganize our armies.

And who will represent you
against France?

My aunt
Margaret.

Your Highness.

Damn it!

Doria threatens with suspending
the siege of Naples if I don't pay him.

If I had accepted the duel
we would not have this problem.

Stop lamenting! You said
you would find funds. Do it!

- I have tried everything.
- Suspending the siege

would be losing Naples
and all our aspirations in Italy with it.

You will have to try
something else.

It would be better if Charles agreed
to negotiate as soon as possible.

Or we will lose in a wink
what we have won.

Never! Turn to
you allies.

Explain to them the situation!
Force them to contribute!

And quickly.

The King has been very generous
to give you the rights

over the conquest of New Castile
all through your life.

Thanks to you, Your Reverence.
I will not forget it, my friend.

Now i trust that my cousin
regains his honor

- and gets as many favours as I did.
- If you want to keep the royal favour

I recommend you to keep
your distance from your relative.

A report has come from New Spain
with prooves of his malfeasances.

- What is he accused with?
- With keeping the money of the Crown,

killing his enemies and not having
the law observed, amongst other crimes.

If Hern�n Cort�s governed
well or not, no one can know.

However, think about
what he gave to the Crown:

gold
and an empire.

A petition has come against you.
They will not hesitate to arrest you.

Sons of a thousand bitches! They want
to assure of seeing my head on a spike.

Quickly!
Come with me.

In Sanl�car, I have a ship
ready to leave for New Castile.

When they will miss you
you will be very far away.

I neither conqered territories
nor defeated an empire

to end up living badly
like an outcast.

How will so much glory serve you
if you lose your life?

I will die with dignity. If they want
to catch me they will find me here.

Since your visit to Francis's sons
you are silent.

Don't lose someone who has to
give you a hand in hard moments.

Because only this way
you will avoid the bitterness of loneliness.

Why are you saying
such things?

Don't worry
about me.

Tell me: have you had any
disagreement with that young man?

Francisco de Borja?

No. I have not known about him
for days and it surprises me.

I saw him go away.

And he seemed to look around
as if he was never going to see it again.

Have I been such a bad mistress that
you disappear without giving explanation?

I never dreamed of serving
anyone more virtuous than you are.

But...

I compromised you and betrayed
the trust the Emperor put in me.

Talking with Cort�s
was my decision.

Why does something that doesn't
concern you cause you so much worry?

Your Majesty...

Don't obligate me to say
what never should be heard.

My devotion
for you

goes far beyond
loyalty.

Only God and the one
who will be your wife

deserve the devotion
you profess to me.

Don't waste it
for something impossible.

How to cover the sun
with a finger?

Looking
the other way.

Soon I will take
over the regency

and you have demonstrated that
I will not have a better servant than you.

Do you want to abandon me
in such a hard moment?

My life is
in your hands.

Do with it
as you wish.

It is not the suit against your wife
that has brought me to you.

Everything goes
as foresighted.

Then?

The King of France asks you
to send him money

to pay the Admiral
in the bay of Naples.

He doesn't keep his word
and, to top it all, asks for money?

He must be mad.

Or desperate.

He has already tried it with His Holiness
and with some German bankers

not too close
to the Emperor.

All have denied him
the credit.

He will get the same answer
from England.

If France doesn't win
the war in Italy

you lose
an ally.

That money will serve
my cause better

in the hands of bishops
ready to help me

than in Francis's
hands.

- Are you sure?
- Perfectly sure. The King of France

has no more doors to knock on in order to
collect the money he owes to the Admiral Doria.

God is on our side!
We had the war almost lost

but hope appears
before our eyes.

Let them put the gold that Cort�s brought
on one of the fastest ships.

Make it arrive to Doria together
with the offer that he joins our lines.

The Emperor shows a good sense of purpose
choosing his ambassador.

Your fame
precedes you.

My only wish is to achieve the peace,
Your Highness. Just like yours.

The task to solve
what the swords could not solve

for so much time
weighs on our shoulders.

Let it be.

Inform me immediately
if news arrive from Naples.

The trial lasts
for weeks now!

What does that nuncio wait for
to make a verdict?

Pacience, Your Highness.
We knew it would take time.

The Pope should have sent someone
who is disposed to our cause!

- I don't see that cardinal is!
- Don't worry!

Everything goes
according to your wishes.

The evidences presented in favour
of the annulment are superior.

Why has it not been
announced yet, then?

I am sure that the supporting letter
of the English bishops

will tilt the balance
to you favour. Trust me!

Enough of this
empty talk now!

Bring me that cardinal's signature
this very day! I don't want to wait any longer!

What your son agreed on in Spain is
the first thing needed to be respected.

Let us not try for restoring a broken treaty,
and let us look ahead.

We will only achieve the peace
with new terms.

I don't believe it would be
the Emperor's will

to keep two young boys imprisoned
as if they were criminals.

Let it serve as an act of concord
between our lords

that they get their freedom back
and return to their fatherland.

In return for a generous
compensation, of course.

And let the same concord make
it possible that your son

renounce his rights
over the Duchy of Milan.

It is my son who demands the restitution
of the duchy to its legitimate owner.

We will not come to
an understanding like this.

Let us take a rest to think over
in what we could give in

because both of us
will have to do it.

Admiral Doria
betrayed us.

He stopped the siege of Naples
and fights on the Emperor's side.

Everything
is lost.

The Archduchess
doesn't know it yet.

We will use it
to our favour.

There they come,
Aunt.

And their face doesn't
bode well at all.

Let us not defer
this nonsense anymore

because we are here
to come to an agreement.

France renounces its rights
over the Duchy of Milan

if your nephew does the same
with his over Burgundy.

A very generous deal,
considering the course of the fight.

Accept it and the war
will be finished.

Burgundy is the heritance
of my brother Philip to his son.

He has always dreamed of recovering it.
No. I have to think it over.

Think about that, too, that how many lives
are lost on the battlefiled

while we are incapable of
concluding an agreement.

Your son didn't scorch the fields of Italy
to make do with crumbs.

Unless the course of the war
is not favourable for him now.

Do you know
what you are doing?

You tell me.

Or are we waiting for
the Emperor's messenger to arrive?

Has the session of today
already finished?

Why so soon?

Rome demands
the nuncio's presence.

Without a verdict?
It is not possible!

He departed
as soon as he read this.

France
lost the war.

Come back
immediately.

I have been the first person deceived
by the apostolic nuncio!

I was always
convinced...

My subjects don't like
the treatment my wife gets.

And they blame you.

The Emperor has filled the kingdom
with libels against me.

Just because I do the mission
you entrusted me with.

You have done that
very badly, then.

It is time for you
to serve your lord well.

And to pay
in his name.

Your Highness...

I have sacrificed my life
to serve England and you.

And you have obtained
great benefits for that.

But there will be
no more.

Out of my sight.

Go.

I don't want to see you
ever again.

You won.

- Is that what you wanted to hear?
- You are the one who lost, Your Reverence.

But I have not won anything.
Henry will not give up his pretensions.

And yours?
What are those? Eh?

- The martyrdom, maybe?
- To die as I have lived.

Nothing more.

Remember me
in your last hour.

Because, as I told you,
my disgrace

has become yours.

5 August 1529

Sign with honour
what your army

could not defend
on the battlefield.

You cannot be reproached
for anything.

What honour do you find
in renouncng my son's rights

over the Duchy of Milanre, Flanders
and Artois, in return for keeping Burgundy?

When will France get
its hostages back?

When your son requires
his legitimate wife,

the Emperor's sister
join him.

I promise you that I will try
to contribute, with all my power,

so that the peace between Francis
and you could be permanent.

Does my departure
distress you?

I will always
protect you.

And I will do whatever lies in my power so that
your daughter could accompany you to France.

Now that I am about
to leave my children

I know what it feels like
to be far away from them.

I just hope that, one day, you could
forgive me the pain I caused you.

Your Highnesses.

I am sorry that your stay in Castile
has been more prolonged than desired.

I hope that, one day,
we will meet again as friends.

You will never have
my friendship!

You will have to pay dearly
for your affront. I swear.

He is just
a child.

Have you already said
goodbye to your sister?

Even if he has been forced, Francis is
going to fulfill his commitment, finally.

However,
I see you anxious.

What is the reason,
my lord?

Cort�s.

He keeps waiting
for audience.

And I don't know which way
to bend my judgement.

It seems I cannot trust those men either
who I sent to judge him.

- And even so...
- What makes you doubt?

The New World must be
administered by loyal officers,

not by men
like him.

Their arrogance and their ambition will
make them rebel against me in the end.

But those same defects
are those that move them

to conquer
new worlds.

You need men with that talent.
Just like you need the gold.

Don't forget it
when you decide his fate.

Se�or Cort�s,

many people,
before you,

thought that the gold buys
the right to evade the law.

I know that well,
Your Majesty.

Because more than one paid already
the punishment he deserved for it.

But if you consider me
a traitor...

cut off
my head.

You do justice
yourself,

because it is only you
I owe my disgrace or luck.

I give you the right
to defend yourself before.

Get up
and start.

But I warn you:
it is your only opportunity.

In my letters, I have always alluded
to you as the motive of my behaviour.

The life there is very different
from what you imagine.

You were the law!
My law!

And you worked against the Crown,
disobeying my commands!

You know how difficult
governing is.

Or have you not made decisions
you objected, for the welfare of the Empire?

I had to do that
in New Spain.

And I fought against
the worst enemy of the law.

The cruelest:
the greediness...

That takes every man away
who crosses the ocean!

I have heard
enough.

I cannot condemn you

because I don't know how much guilty
you are of the thing you are accused of.

But I will watch over you henceforth.
Don't doubt that.

You will keep the position
of General Captain.

And, as compensation
for your grievances,

I name you
Marquess of the Valley of Oaxaca.

And who will administer
justice in New Spain?

Will you restitute me
as governor?

Don't tempt the fortune any more.
You have had enough.

In that case, I ask you to dispense me
from other obligations in Castile.

I will stay here for some time
before returning to New Spain.

I have to arrange
my businesses

and get married
if God wants that.

I wish you, then, to find
a patient wife who endure you

and one with enough intelligence
to overcome your caprices.

Charles and Francis
signed the peace.

The league against
the Emperor is dead.

We can do nothing
but negotiate.

The Pope accepts
to crown me.

And I owe this
to you.

Despite
our differences,

you have guided me with firm steps
all these years.

- Like a father, a son.
- Your honor is mine.

My reward will be seeing
the imperial crown on your head.

You are the new Charlemagne,
ready to lead the Christendom

to the age of gold.
That is your destiny.

And it will be legitimized
by your coronation in Italy.

I swear I will not spare efforts
to be worthy of such a destiny.

Now more than ever, you must remember
Marcus Aurelius's words:

"Everything we hear
is an opinion, not a fact.

Everything we see
is a perspective, not the truth."

I will prepare
our departure, my lord.

Don't move!
Please.

I want to save your image
in my memory

so that it accompanies me
wherever I go.

I detest everything
that separates us.

Even the cloth
that covers our bodies.

How will I be able to live without you?
Tell me! I don't know if I can bear it.

If you crash
I will not be able to go ahead.

Go, then,

and fulfill
your mission.

But come back
soon

so that the scent
you leave today

remains on my body
until then.

Take care of
my most precious possession.

Isabella...

Gentlemen!

Today we leave our home
because of a noble cause.

Let nobody stand
in our way.

Let us prove to the world that the Emperor
doesn't want anything which is not his.

Because we don't want to defeat
our brothers in the faith,

but to unite ourselves
in the fight against the infidels.

Let us go
to Italy!

Let everyone who wants to
share the honour and glory

join us.

For Spain!

- For Spain!
- For Spain!

Lean on me,
Your Majesty.

A k�vetkez� r�szben:
I will not let them scatter the seed
of rebellion amongst our vassals.

Call
the physician!

I need a new ally
near the King of England.

And, even so, you want to make me
marry the enemy of the reformers.

For Luther,
it would be an honour

if you accepted that
he dedicates this volume to you.

What better proof could there be for
everyone of the overtures we try for?

In the house governed by Cort�s here
this activity has been stopped.

It is time for someone to put and end
to the encomenderos' abuses.

Do you want me to guide the actions
of the most powerful man on the Earth?

Only the unity of all the Christian princes
will finish with the infidels.

Enough!

It seems the Emperor and the Archduke
are not on the best terms.

A synod to discuess
this series of heresies!

You have given refuge
to an escaped Indian.

A very serious crime in these lands.
You better confess.

The physician visited our aunt again.
He didn't give good news.

If you ever commit treason
against your family,

banish the pity
out of your heart.

Charles, his betrayal has not been proved.
Don't give place to a tragedy.

We will finish
with Barbarossa in Algiers.

Your brother is on the point
of rebelling against the Emperor.

Give me strength, Lord, because I have
to make the most terrible decision.

It is not the Turks we need
but their fleet.

If you accept to be our sovereign
you could not be reproached for anything.

The moment I was so afraid of
has come.

Let us pray to God
to protect the Emperor in his battle.
