Get ready to leave.

This letter must reach Castile.

How dare you claim the title of prince of Asturias.

Toledo's Archbishop, Francisco de Cisneros, will pay you a visit.

The monarchs of Castile will pardon anyone...

with pending issues with the law who are willing to embrace the true faith.

Why should we go on then?

Because the islands and the continent where Colombus' ships have arrived

are not the Indies.

I won't pursue an ecclesiastic career.

The Holy Father wants me to find a welcoming court.

A court close to the pontiff willing to listen and act in alliance.

His Majesty Louis, king of France.

The pope has annulled the marriage.

Margarita, what's going on?

If Prince Juan dies, so does his son.

It will be possible for Castile, Aragon and Portugal to be under the same realm.

Castile welcomes her future queen.

You must know that the archduke wants to claim his titles in Castile.

You're asking France to support

your lord's aspirations.

Make sure that Juana is not alone.

And don't let Philip isolate her.

Have you made a pact with the French?

If you intervene again, I'll send you back to Castile.

When he got back from his second trip

my father told be about a bay full of pearls.

Colombus has betrayed our trust.

We've been patient with him, but no more.

The archduke is asking for documents

to claim his right to the throne

if the queen of Portugal doesn't have a son.

Are you?

It's a girl.

I want to convert.

I'm being sincere.

Conversions won't help unless we get rid of the cult's seed.

Episode 7

I baptize you in the name of the Father

the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Do you believe in the Holy Spirit?

In the Holy Catholic Church?

In the communion of saints? In the forgiveness of sins?

In the resurrection of the body and...

the life everlasting?

- I believe. - I believe.

- I believe. - I believe.

Is it your will to be baptized?

- It is. - It is.

I baptize you

in the name of the Father, the Son

and the Holy...

Are you all right? What's wrong?

- Is something wrong? - I felt a slight discomfort.

You should rest.

It's normal in your condition. Don't worry.

How can I? The whole world is watching.

Be patient with our anxiety.

Listen to your mother.

Think of all the hope inside your womb.

I'm sorry.

Not so long ago hope grew inside her womb.

It can't be easy.

I know, my child.

It's not easy for me either.

How can I overcome such a painful loss?

Right now, your health

and your child's health are all that matter to me.

Don't worry, Mother.

Everything's going well, and I'm happy.

Everything would have been different for the both of us

if you had been a boy.

Sign this paper.

What is it that I need to sign?

A request to get an ecclesiastical benefit

from a Bologna prelate in Castile.

It's very common and helps forge a closer relationship.

As my husband and king, do you need my signature?

As you well know, it's merely a formality.

A courtesy.

You know Their Majesties won't accept an imposition.

Will you or will you not sign?

You've barely seen me or your daughter.

And now, all of a sudden, you demand this?

I won't sign it.

We'll see.

When will you pay us another visit?

You have to get along with your wife.

The court doesn't benefit from this marriage

and some say it was a mistake.

The dowry wasn't enough? What did they expect?

Perhaps, a more docile duchess.

More willing to accept the court's customs.

- Tell me what else is missing. - A son.

Your conflict with the princess creates a serious problem.

You need an heir.

Think about your future.

Find a way to make this union a pleasant one for the court.

And for yourself.

It would be easier to trade Juana for someone else, trust me.

That damn wedding! My father ruined us when he agreed to it!

Why didn't he burn the Alhambra along with the books?

- It could have been less problematic. - Calm down, my lord.

I'm sure Cisneros just wanted to serve Castile and Christ.

Serve how? By bringing the war back to Granada?

The truth is that there have been more conversions.

As you wished, Granada is becoming less Muslim and more Castilian.

At what price? All Muslims in Granada are in favor of a Turkish invasion.

Or an emir from the North of Africa.

I know his eminence lacks diplomacy, however...

Then it's our fault for not sending the necessary help.

Let's send someone to calm things down and prevent a disaster.

- Do you agree, my lord? - I do.

You go, Cabrera. You are the right man.

Just remember something.

The desire to do things well won't prevent us from doing them.

I'm glad to see you being happy in our court.

Serve us well and you will climb to the top.

To be of service is all I need.

You can aspire to do more.

Sooner rather than later, a king will set the pace in Italy.

I will be that king.

It's only fair. You can claim the throne of Naples and the duchy of Milan.

Does your father feel the same?

I need His Holiness' support. You know that.

You still have yet to find your place in this court.

If the pope supports France...

he'll be supporting his own son.

I assure you His Holiness appreciates what you've done for his son.

I'm sure he'll support you without reservation.

Go to Rome then.

Bring us guarantees.

Consider it done.

Win the favor of the court?

How could I? I can't even keep my husband by my side.

You have to do it.

You're a princess and an archduchess.

Your presence in Flanders is part of a plan.

Open your eyes.

A Spaniard will never be loved in these parts.

Then be less Spanish, madam.

I was not raised to stop being myself.

No one is asking you to do that.

There's no lady such as yourself here.

But a lot of people see disdain

in you not taking in their customs.

I assure you that if you please the court

you will win over your husband.

You must respond, Your Highness.

- Or the archduke will send you back. - Never!

- I won't go back! - In that case

let me help you.

So, they send my own son

to collect the favors owed.

Italy's future is in the hands of the king of France, as is ours.

- You doubt it? - Should I'be like Fadrique?

A puppet he controls?

I cannot yield.

France is not the only player. Have they brainwashed you that much?

Imagine what the Spanish would do...

Stop it!

It's no longer time to mediate between rivals.

If we don't have the support of one of them

sooner or later, they will both destroy us.

I'm not looking after my interests. I'm trying to help us survive.

Can't you see it?

To kneel before such a miserable man...

Feel sorry if you want.

We are either with him or against him.

Allright. The duchy of Milan will be French.

But I won't let the Christians see me

as a subject of your benefactor.

We'll let Their Catholic Majesties

send us to the French.

Get ready. You must go to Castile.

My lady?

This is who's going to help us put our problems to rest.

You must finish what I started.

Swear it.

We have to banish Islam from Granada.

Calm down.

You have to control your impetus.

- We almost caused a riot. - A blessed one...

if it serves our purpose.

How can you say such a thing?

Innocent people would die.

Perhaps you and I. But the monarchs...

the monarchs would not hesitate to control it.

It would be the end of the permissiveness and Muslims.

The fever is the cause of this nonsense.

- When you heal, you'll regret it. - My only regret is failing before.

And dying.

Because I leave you

to finish a task that..

That is so unpleasant.

Do you know this dance?

I thought we only danced it in Flanders.

Are we not there?

Are you the maker of this transformation?

Congratulations, Mr. de Belmonte.

What would they say in Castile?

Don't make me travel so far

when my happiness is near at hand.

You are the star that brightens this court.

It's just the fire...

burning in my heart.

Don't let it fade.

This night it'll show me the way.

This is the request you asked me to sign.

We must become one. Nothing should come between us.

Forgive my urgency.

Sometimes I'm a victim of my love for you.

We must learn to control our urges.

We are sovereigns

not animals or savages.

But today we won't control ourselves.

Read, Your Eminence.

The archduchess has requested an archbishopric in Castile

for you.

You won't complain about my wife again.

And, soon enough, neither will the court.

We received a letter from Juana.

It's about time.

She wants an archbishopric for Busleyden, the archduke's adviser.

The times of privileges are over.

His Eminence won't collect the rent of a diocese he won't visit.

Our daughter never writes.

Now she does, asking for something she knew we wouldn't like.

Does she usually take an interest in such matters?

The archduke forced her, there's no doubt.

Is she so subject to her husband's will?

Whose interests oppose ours very frequently.

Poor Juana. What did we get her into?

Fuensalida, you must postpone your trip to England.

Catalina's marriage can wait.

Go first to Flanders.

Encourage my daughter to be independent.

Remind her that she's always been prudent.

Make sure she knows her parents support her.

Make her see that her well-being won't be possible at the expense of ours.

How is His Eminence?

Worse that we would like. The fever won't go down.

The queen is worried about him.

She wants him to have any remedy he needs.

Toledo's archbishop has everything he needs.

Is that what worries Her Majesty?

The monarchs are worried about the recent events in the city.

As they should be. Granada is on the point of explosion.

They sent me here to avoid that.

Praise the Lord!

Are they suspicious of forced conversions?

Perhaps.

But their distrust is trumped by the satisfaction success gives.

Are you saying they won't rectify?

Are the Muslims not going through the same thing the Jews went through?

I won't be fooled and neither should you.

I've come to calm things down

not to protect the Muslim faith.

Islam will soon be history in Castile.

And if Cisneros dies..

You'll have to get the job done.

You want to buy the duchy of Gandia?

We were born there.

- As my father's heir... - That duchy belonged to your brother.

Are you going to fight his heirs over it?

We want to own property in the land

where we were born and serve you faithfully. That's all.

You want to make us your accomplices in this scheme!

Do you really think we'll say yes?

Apparently you are against the wishes of the pope.

Only God can judge the pope.

But it's no secret

that the queen of Castile

doesn't approve all the decisions the pope makes.

Enough.

Even if it's a legitimate request, you forget one detail.

You're a duke in France.

Therefore, in our realms

you will never have lands to give to King Louis.

Do you question my loyalty?

The pope will be more offended than me

when he finds out his son is not welcome in the land where he was born.

Face the consequences!

What brought about his absurd request?

I don't know. But I'm afraid we'll soon find out.

My lord. Did you ask for me?

Years go by and then we understand our elders.

When they're no longer here.

- What's on your mind, Your Majesty? - My father.

His dying wish for my son Juan to be raised in Aragon.

If my daughter Isabel has a boy

he must be raised in our realms.

Will the Portuguese agree?

He's our heir.

The key element in the mechanism we've put into motion.

I understand, Your Majesty, but it won't be easy to get your way.

Castile is a safe place.

In Portugal, my son-in-law is making enemies.

His privileges are in jeopardy, and our kingdom is more united.

If his enemies act, we have to help Don Manuel.

For now, we'll do the opposite. We'll help his enemies.

If my son-in-law feels unsafe, he'll ask for our support.

He'll return to his kingdom and leave his son in a safe place.

That's a dangerous game.

What if you can't control it?

If that happens

our army will put an end to the quarrels.

But the prince won't leave Castile.

Come in.

My lord.

Her Highness is in labor.

Tell your mother that I want to see her.

Who is it, Ibrahim?

What brings you to my humble abode?

Your reputation.

And my need.

I require an important service.

You're the good faqir. You've done a lot for us.

I'll help you if I can.

My lady.

Isabel.

I'm afraid I have bad news.

Our daughter?

The child. There's a complication.

Is there any danger? What did the midwife say?

It may not survive.

Everyone out.

Out.

Not you. Stay.

Mother. I'm so afraid.

Don't worry, my child.

God won't abandon us.

- What do you want? - To save his life.

Your Eminence

I won't allow a pagan to touch my lord.

She's our last resource.

Are you leaving him to the mercy of a Muslim witch?

- You're crazy! - If you're not going to help, leave.

Out, I say!

He's right.

That's the enemy of my people and my faith.

His recovery will doom us.

Can you save him?

Do it for me.

Why does God punish us like this?

It's time to trust him.

He gives the peasants healthy children with no duties.

- And yet... - Calm down.

Your distress won't help.

Be strong, my child. I beg you. Please, be strong.

It's a boy.

And my wife?

It's a boy, Isabel.

I told you God would help us.

You know as well as I do...

that I'm dying.

Why do you say that? You just need to rest.

I'll finally be able to.

My soul is at peace.

I've fulfilled my duty.

Now I can be with the Lord.

It's all my fault.

I made you marry him. Forgive me.

Take care of my son.

You wanted him more than his own mother.

You're a good man.

My lady. Save your energy.

You must get well.

Our son needs you.

- I need you. I need you. - Cry.

Cry but don't feel sorry for me.

I'm going to meet

the only husband I should have had.

Dear God, don't take her away from me. Don't take her away...

Listen to me carefully.

I won't let that child go.

He was born here.

And he will be raised here.

Because he'll be king of Castile as well as king of Portugal.

We feel the same way.

- And we'll do what we can. - No, my lord.

It's already been decided.

I promised my daughter I'd take care of him.

And I will devote my life to it.

If anything happened to him...

Juana would be the successor.

Right now, that would be a catastrophe.

Then we must avoid it, by all means necessary.

Go to Portugal.

Give the news to my aunt personally.

Tell her to come to Castile.

And explain what we expect from her.

This better be important.

Unmistakably, very important.

Isabel, queen of Portugal, has died.

- Without heirs? - No.

It happened during labor. She had a boy.

But the boy is weak.

Just his fragile existence stands between you and the throne.

Well, that and... your wife's will.

Why didn't God take both of them?

Go back to the archduchess.

She doesn't know yet.

She'll be grateful if she hears it from you.

Don't worry. I'll take care of it.

Of our interests and my wife.

I'm sorry to bring you such terrible news.

Come on. Sit down.

I just...

It's such a horrible destiny for a woman

as wonderful as her.

At least she had a boy.

You'll get all the money you need for mourning dresses

for you and your ladies.

Are you leaving?

I learned that at times like these

one prefers to be alone with the pain.

But, you'll come back, right?

Whenever you need me.

I'll mourn in my chambers.

I won't go out. No one will see me.

But when you visit me

you won't find sadness in my clothes or in my spirit.

I swear.

I'll keep my husband and my daughter

away from the pain that plagues my heart.

[Portugal.]

Poor Isabel.

Everyone's touched by her loss.

What's the name of the boy?

Miguel, that's what your son and Their Majesties decided.

He'll be the first by that name to rule this kingdom.

Will he live and fulfill his destiny?

He's still weak. The delivery was difficult.

Hopefully, he'll return to Portugal soon.

My son's presence is becoming indispensable.

What's wrong, Chacon? Speak your mind.

The queen wants you to persuade the king to leave the baby in Castile.

Has my niece forgotten that he is the crown prince of Portugal?

And he's also the crown prince of Castile and Aragon.

Her Majesty can relax.

We'll raise the prince accordingly.

If your adversaries allow you to.

Some people in Portugal believe they have a claim to the throne.

There are lunatics and adventurers in every kingdom.

In Castile, however, all opponents have been defeated.

It's a safe kingdom where the prince can grow up.

Does Castile have something to do with the conflicts in my kingdom?

What would my son think if I mentioned these suspicions?

You won't.

Because you fought to unite our kingdoms

and you know what's best for us all.

Just keep one thing in mind.

The queen...

will never let you take her grandson away from her.

Solving this matter promptly

is in Portugal's best interest.

And your son's.

How could you let the princess send that request to them?

I didn't know Busleyden wanted an archbishopric.

I didn't know. I swear.

Your mission consists of knowing everything.

You neglected your task, and therefore, the princess.

What is she doing in her chambers?

She's supposed to go to mass.

The archduchess never leaves her chambers.

What did you say?

Come in.

Your Highness.

Have they not informed you that your family suffered a tragedy?

They have.

My soul is in mourning.

Your soul?

Only my husband and my most loyal servants see me.

I keep myself hidden from the rest.

As for my clothes..

The archduchess wears mourning only when she's alone.

Is that acceptable behavior for such an...

important and Christian person?

- A lot of people praise... - Shut up.

A Spanish princess

is always a Spanish princess.

You have a responsibility to your parents and a duty to fulfill.

Would it please them to see you like this?

I'm not married to my parents.

Go back the way you came.

I don't need the Inquisition in my life. Tell them that.

Out. Leave me alone!

Water.

What has happened during my convalescence?

Is there anything I should know?

Mohammed's sect is feeling strong again.

- And the conversions? - They have dropped.

There's a lack of effort to bring them the true faith.

Talavera's misunderstood doctrine.

- Where is he? - Preparing a funeral.

The queen of Portugal died while giving birth to her son.

We cannot lose what we've already won.

Can I trust you?

Your archduchess asks for forgiveness.

The immense pain caused by my dear sister's death

has made me neglect my responsibilities in the court.

I apologize for my weakness.

Especially since you've showed affection and devotion

respecting my choice to withdraw.

I thought you were going to leave your pain in your chambers.

This desolation made me forget my duties.

But when you come to visit me

you'll find the wife you expect.

Madam, come to see me too.

I have... a few laces

that I won't be able to wear.

They will be very useful to you.

Do you not like your Holiness' condolence?

I do not. He's more worried about his son's duchy than our daughter's soul.

His terrible words are proof of it.

'You, who have usurped a throne

shouldn't judge other sovereigns morally.'

He says I'm a usurper.

Instead of comforting us in our hour of need

the pope is stabbing me again.

He's breaking off relations.

First it was our son-in-law

and now the pope allies with the French.

The pope is opening the doors of Milan for us.

I thought it would take longer.

It seems the Spanish have snubbed him.

He's an old dog.

His Holiness found an excuse to support us.

And his support... comes with no strings attached?

The duchy won't be enough. He wants a wife for his bastard.

One day, he'll ask me for the throne. If I'm not sober, he'll take it.

His blessing is essential to take Milan.

What's your plan?

We'll give Cesare Borgia a wife with royal blood, but not a French one.

Cariota de Albret, sister of the king of Navarra.

He'll be satisfied.

The bastard will be a royal and secure his position.

I hope this makes him as happy as it will annoy Isabel and Ferdinand.

Do you want to open a new front in Navarra?

We'll let them deal with its king

while we're busy taking Italy.

As you can see, it's very detailed work.

It would be a shame to leave it to the moths.

Give me the scissors.

- This will make a nice collar. - Thank you. My lady.

- But take some for a couple of cuffs. - No!

- Please, don't! - Don't move, or I'll cut your face!

No!

Please, stop! Please!

You're crazy. Crazy!

Don't you like her better this way, my lord? She can be a maid and a page.

- I should have finished you off. - You are!

It's not enough to be your wife. I want to be your lover!

Either I am everything to you or nothing at all!

Go back to Castile. Enjoy the last days with your child

because you won't see her or me again.

We'll see!

Open the door! In the name of the queen!

- What do you want? - Send the witch out.

I live alone.

Do I have to set the lair on fire to see the vermin?

You're coming with us!

Where are you taking her? Is this the queen's justice?

Stop, you Christian dog!

Leave him alone!

You dare call me a dog?

You dare call me a dog? Heretic!

Daughter of a thousand prostitutes!

Go back.

Tell my parents that I will follow their advice.

No one here is on my side.

But, my lady, the archduke has told

everyone willing to listen that you'll go back to Castile.

He'll have to take it back.

Now everyone, including my husband, know who they're dealing with.

This is my place, and I'm not going anywhere.

My lady, your husband is going to condemn you.

Don't worry. He won't.

I'm pregnant with his child.

God willing, if it's a boy, I'll secure my position forever.

Congratulations, Your Highness.

You have to hide your condition.

Do what the archduke wants.

- Are you asking me to go back? - It's the sensible thing to do.

Are you going to let the archduke condemn her?

Your stubbornness doesn't help.

Imagine the archduke's reaction when he finds out his child

will be born in Castile.

Imagine that you give birth to a boy.

He would regret it.

- He would beg me to come back. - And more, my lady.

He would accept anything you asked.

You could start over.

Not to mention the advantage Castile would have in negotiatiations.

Get ready.

Don Andres.

There's still time.

Let's avoid a bloodbath.

Go. You're not a soldier.

Do your job.

I'll give communion to every one of your men.

Don't worry. I won't interfere with the preparations.

This is Castile!

Let's defend our kingdom and our faith as James the Great would.

Open the door.

Open the door!

My lord.

Follow me!

Lord our God!

Let the rivers clap their hands.

Let the mountains sing

together for joy.

Let them sing before the Lord

for he comes to judge the earth.

He will judge the world in righteousness

and the people with equity.

You all know me, so stop.

There's still time.

Don't continue if you don't want to lose yourselves.

You'll gain nothing more

than Their Majesties' punishment.

Allah wants the most righteous man to be the first to die.

Dear brothers! Calm down!

Calm down!

The good faqir has always wanted what's best for us.

We just want to live in peace following our faith and the law.

There will be no peace

if blood is shed.

That will only lead to your own destruction.

Trust the law that protects you.

The queen will be fair.

Their Majesties have signed the documents that protect you.

The queen of Castile has always kept her word.

Your sovereigns haven't found out about this.

When they do, they'll hear it from our enemies.

I'll talk to them myself.

I'll tell them how the agreement was breached.

I'll ask for their royal pardon.

We still have time.

Do you back up what's been said?

Everything started because of me, and I'm asking you to end it.

Mother, the monarchs won't turn a blind eye.

As much as I believe in Allah

I believe in the word of the good faqir.

I can't postpone my trip to England again.

From there, I'll go to Castile and wait for the princess to arrive.

You'll go with her.

I'll write to let them know everything.

Go on and don't worry.

How can I when everything is in your hands?

You've been a great disappointment.

Try to make up for the terrible service you've provided Her Highness.

Make sure she keeps her dignity and most importantly

that she goes back to Castile.

Why are you giving me such an important mission

you no longer trust me?

Because you're all I have.

But we'll talk about this in Castile.

Your Majesty?

Dear niece.

Your pain is mine. You know it.

You got here fast.

My yearning to meet my grandson seemed to give the horses wings.

Don't waste any more time.

This is Miguel of Portugal.

He'll also be king of Castile and Aragon.

Dear friend, it's been left in my hands and yours

to solve these marital troubles that are detrimental to us all.

Only the archduke can do it.

Advise him, since he is your lord, and it is your duty.

He is my lord, and he may be yours as well.

Is the future of the prince born in Castile solid?

What could happen?

Well, he won't be king for many years.

Before that, a lot of things could happen.

If you expect me to influence the archduchess' decisions

you've come to the wrong man.

She listens to someone else.

Your lady cannot go back to Castile.

Her place is with her husband. She has to find her place here.

Fuensalida and your monarchs focus on the past.

You have shown you're capable of guiding Juana to the future.

You are very valuable, Belmonte.

You should be with the ones that go hand in hand with history.

Forgive me, Your Eminence, but I have matters...

You're at one of those crucial crossroads in life.

Choose correctly.

If Philip reigns in Castile one day

he'll know how to compensate those who were by his side.

How dare you ask me to leave my son in a strange court?

Strange? That's how you feel amongst us?

This request shows that I must guard my interests

and the prince's in Castile.

Castile is one of the realms he'll inherit.

So is Portugal.

As long as you can keep the throne until the time comes.

I won't put the heir in danger

just to secure your place.

I'm a sovereign as much as you are.

- Portugal is just as great as Castile. - Of course.

But, most importantly, I have rights as a father.

Miguel will come with me to Portugal.

The last thing my daughter told me

was to take care of him.

I assure you that I will.

My lord.

There's something important that you need to know.

If you've come to punish me again

or to ask me to apologize for my behavior...

If you made a mistake, I made a bigger one.

I regret what I said.

And I'm asking for forgiveness.

I'm your husband.

This is your home, and you should stay here.

I don't want to raise my children where there's no respect or love.

I never lived in a place like that until I got here.

Do you doubt my love?

I can't imagine my life without you.

Letting you leave would be worse than dying.

Tell me if that's not love.

We have to forgive each other for a lot of things.

Decide if you are willing to do that and share your life with me.

You know I wish for nothing more.

Don't go, then.

I never wanted to.

I hope I can make you as happy as you've made me just now.

My lord.

I have to tell you something.

Cesare Borgia and Cariota de Albret.

They're marrying him into the royals of Navarra.

It coincides with Juan's request to recover his possessions in Castile.

While he demands that our troops leave his kingdom.

King Louis is behind all this

and his intention to take Navarra.

He won't. King Juan will respect the agreement.

- And his requests? - A smokescreen that won't blind us.

Let's give an answer to the king of Navarra.

He knows that without our protection, the civil war would destroy him.

What's does Louis covet then?

- Italy. - We've signed a peace treaty.

These days, a treaty is nothing more than ink on paper.

But he won't get it without the pope's blessing.

Do you think he has it?

Now we know why he wanted Gandia.

The Borgias played their cards right.

They asked for something we wouldn't give them.

To break off relations and support Louis.

Is His Holiness a subordinate of the French too?

We must get ready.

The game is on.

Our rivals have moved their pawns.

Come on.

Let's get going as soon as possible.

You should take care of your health.

It's my duty to talk to Their Majesties.

My health is not compromised enough

to avoid my duties. You...

Stay in Granada.

This is your place.

Tell me something.

Were the promises you made to the Muslims sincere?

The rebellion has ended.

That's all that matters.

Your ineptitude to fulfill your mission

almost ended with what took a lot of effort to obtain.

Your Eminence

considering your health, you may take a seat in front of us.

- Tell us what you must. - Thank you, Your Majesty.

I hope I have the strength

to go back to Granada and complete my mission.

300 Muslims were baptized the day of the riot.

But everything fell apart because Satan is always in the way.

So it was the devil who almost set Granada on fire.

No. The one who didn't let it happen.

I think the punishment would have pleased the Lord.

If the riot had ended in bloodshed, all heresy would be over.

- As well as your light touch. - Was that part of your plan?

Do you want the Muslims to take up arms to make us subdue them?

Martyrdom will be their salvation.

Do those who resist becoming Christians deserve to be Castilians?

Or perhaps... have you stopped fearing that they'll open the door to the Turks?

No! They must convert or leave!

- Treaties have been signed. - Castile has to be Christian.

Their commitment to God is worth a thousand times more

than their commitment to the pagans.

The body of a Christian kingdom cannot live with gangrene.

You amputated the Jewish limb. Why keep the Muslim one?

But. Your Eminence, we don't want

the surgeon to kill the patient!

The archbishop has made mistakes

but he is right about one thing.

We can't go back now.

You must owe Isabel something if you support her plans.

I almost died defending my family.

There's nothing more important.

That's why I'll do anything for our sake.

You need Isabel and Ferdinand to defend you from your enemies.

I left Portugal to be the greatest Christian king.

Must I go back humiliated?

My weakness will feed their ambition.

No. You'll go back as a better king.

Tell them it was your idea to leave the prince.

Go back without him...

but with a queen.

What do you suggest?

The prince will be raised in Castile until your new heir secures the dynasty.

For that, ask Their Majesties to give you a new wife.

Princess Maria.

My lady. We are in Castile.

You should have the honor.

This is your Lord.

Prince Miguel de la Paz.

Son of Their Highnesses, the king and queen of Portugal.

Destined to be the sovereign

that will unite the thrones of the Spains.

And he will make this kingdom

the most important one of all Christendom.

Just as all of you

will swear loyalty to him

I also want to promise to him

and all those present

that I'll give my life to save his.

And therefore, the future of our kingdoms.

Long live Prince Miguel!

Your Majesties. Louis of France has taken Milan.

- You were right. - What are you going to do?

The king of France has the right to inherit the duchy of Milan.

It does not breach our agreement...

- You'll stay out of his way? - Yes.

It will be a token of our friendship.

Which has more value than Philip's or the pope's.

If he's friends with everybody, he'll be able to do as he pleases.

Until he breaches the agreement and gives us a reason.

By then, we'll have strengthened ties with England and Portugal.

Miguel will stay in Castile

and Catalina must marry the prince of Wales soon.

In the meantime..

We'll prepare for war.

We will.

Lord.

I trust your wisdom and infinite compassion.

You forgave Peter after he denied you three times.

You prayed for the ones crucifying you.

So please forgive me for what I'm about to do.

You must leave Granada.

Find your family and friends and hide in the mountains.

Soon...

there won't be any Muslims left in Castile.

Do you bring good news from England?

King Enrique has given enough guarantees.

You may consider Princess Catalina

the princess of Wales.

In that case, Margarita should go back to her brother's court.

To take the place left by your daughter Juana.

Juana is not here.

The joy your letter brought soon turned into bitter disappointment.

We received a letter with the newsy of her pregnancy.

- It's signed by the archduke. - That son of Satan!

The one from Burgundy ruined us.

- God knows what his plan is! - Fuensalida?

The princess had agreed to everything.

And now she's back at the mercy of her husband.

Should we fear for our daughter's life?

Don't worry, Your Majesty.

Belmonte will take care of her. Trust him.

From this day forward, we must accept

that Juana is not on our side.

Your words trouble my heart.

My lady, let me be frank

and tell you about the moody character

and, sometimes, instability the princess displays.

This is the greatest and last hope for our anxieties.

He's so fragile.

We'll make him tough.

This boy will be the great king everyone wants.

May God give strength to the three of us.

Because it's a heavy load for such small shoulders.

If we succeed, our lives will be worthy.

No force has ever stopped us.

After beating all your enemies

are you afraid to raise a child?

The few defeats I've suffered have been in this type of battle.

I've seen my children die.

And my children's children.

Now, my fears about Juana have been confirmed.

This boy is all we have left.

Don't worry. Together, we'll win again.

They must swear loyalty to us.

While they are here, we have to free Juana from her husband.

You may be knighting your own heir.

My lord, the archduke

would like to see his child married to yours.

There have been new riots in Granada.

The calm was just a mirage.

He's just been the first of many.

I hope he's just been the first of many.

Attack! Kill the pagan!

Your future wife.

Our bond with Portugal will be secured when Princess Maria marries Manuel.

We must ask Rome permission for the marriage to take place.

I'll take the throne from Manuel.

Are you asking us to plot against a legitimate king?

I hate that our interests depend on the pope's will.

You won't sign unless they give you an army to take Romagna.

Ferdinand is suggesting the division of Naples.

- What are the conditions? - You'll stay until you sign.

- I won't hesitate to force you. - Go ahead.

The committee from Flanders has arrived.

Is Juana here?

Bad news from Granada.

There's a name that rattles the queen.

A name that awakens the ghosts from her past.

Juana la Beltraneja.

What more evidence do you need?

What do you want from us?
