Previously...

- The Turks are coming!
- One year awaiting for his arrival!

And now he teases those who sent for him
disembarking elsewhere.

Now I have to be afraid of
Charles of Habsburg, my vassal.

Charles is your elder brother, and he's the legitimate heir.
That's how Queen Isabella decided.

- You said these kingdoms would be mine!
- Forget it!

From this day you can consider me
Don Hernán Cortés's wife.

The Governor of Cuba
has news about a land

with riches that cannot be
compared to those until known.

Duke of Bourbon,
my good friend, Lautrec

will occupy your place
as the Governor of Milan.

A good king don't take the liberties
of governing according to his passions.

And France deserves the best.
Not a tyrant.

A party grows
around your brother,

encouraged
by Queen Germaine.

Do they want to oppose
a legitimate succession?

The proclamation in Brussels
lowered this legitimacy.

As King of Aragon
you could step up in Castile

as the protector
of the queen's rights,

- and you could claim regency in her name.
- Welcome your children.

I agree, because I am the only one
who has such power,

that you govern these kingdoms in my name
which are undoubtedly yours, too.

Tell His Highness
that I died praying for him.

Go to the Court as soon as possible but you must be sure
that you have enough armed men behind your back.

Decide whether you want to be remembered
as a good boy or as a good king?!

Your Highness! Your brother
would like to meet you.

We are family.
That's how everyone should see.

- Long live the king!
- Long live!

Charles, King Emperor
Sacking

Caesar must have been received
with similar looks in Germania.

And in the end
he conquered it, my lord.

Should I speak?

Just swear and receive
their obedience.

Calm down.

We, who are worth
as much as you,

make you
our King and Lord,

as long as you respect
our charters and liberties.

And if you do not,
not.

I swear.

Do you have to be
the first?

- Your Highness...
- Who permitted you to use this place?

- These are my chambers!
- We didn't know that, Your Highness.

But it was chosen
to house the king.

If you do this without consulting with me,
do I not even deserve to be informed?

Please, understand
your sacrifice.

I don't whether they swore obedience to me
or spared my life.

The important thing is that with every day
you are more king than the previous one.

I don't see any relief in that.
Castile seems ungovernable to me.

As soon as the session of the Cortes ends,
you don't have to return except for rare occasions.

- Will they finance our homecoming?
- Calm down, they will.

How can you be
so sure about that?

Considering how much the enforcement
of an obedient geste costs...

Imagine
their reals!

I assure you
that I solidify your power

and you could leave nicely
this Cortes and Castile.

You only have to
trust me.

I ask little if you are capable
of achieving so much.

Go away!

Why is he
in such a bad mood?

I'm afraid, Your Highness, that, along
with the throne, we took his bed away from him.

As you know, I ordered
a new work from the Master

to make you appalaud a bit
and have a surprised face.

But today
that won't be enough.

You'll get to know the starting
of an unrivalled building.

Leonardo,
please.

The Le Romorantin
won't be a palace,

but a city.

Will your brother
request to govern it?

When it becomes clear
that Milan is too big for him, I mean.

Share with us your impressions,
constable.

They should be great
for having interrupted the Master.

I praised the actuality of the situation,
sire. Your idea, no doubt.

An extraordinary choice.

This is the grandness
of France.

Everything ends up
in its deserved place.

Continue,
Leonardo, please.

The future capital of the kingdom
will have its own navigable river,

and its water will serve
different purposes.

There'll be beautiful fountains
and large pools

which will serve
to organize water games.

And stables
with unique cleaner system.

And a shooting lodge...

Nothing pleases your son more
than humiliating me in public.

Don't be so sure
of it.

But you should take it flattering
that he cares about insulting you.

He only bothers those
who he can.

How is my cousin?
your wife?

I learned the first freezes
has weakened her.

It could seem that you ask this
while you want to hear trouble.

You chose well
when you married her.

I couldn't have given
the Dukedom of Bourbon to you.

I have asked myself
not once

why did we give up everything
just because you married.

Because of decency,
madam.

And if the Regent Anne had figured it out
that I betrayed her daughter...

With me?

I would have lost the dukedom
and then my life, too.

It will bring in
125.000...

How is the count, your husband?
We haven't seen him for a while.

Domestic business
keeps him at his estates.

Soon new obligations will require
his presence. I'm sure of it.

And for now,
further from court.

That's how
my husband will want.

For mine it'll be an honour
to comply any request from His Highness.

You spend a little time
among us.

Although you've showed that you know
how to present yourself, with enviable ease.

No doubt there are
comelier and more beautiful.

But few are so unique
like you.

Madam, I'm afraid I'm not capable of
honour so much flattering.

You'll learn.

All do.

My husband maintains
and entertains 27 ladies

while 27 forgiving husbands
are profiting from this.

You are one of 27.

But the King has
only one wife.

And it's she whom he owes
the crown he's wearing on his head.

I know well
what is my position.

If we both can complete
our tasks,

there'll be no confilct
between us.

However,
His Higness's mother...

Beware of her.

I'm grateful
to you.

I know how much
she appreciates her son.

Pick up
all these things.

This night
I'm expecting my husband.

Honourable
Madame of Beaujeu.

My deep sorrow I feel
it is my obligation to inform you

that while you daughter,
Suzanne is suffering in her bed,

his husband is having fun
with the mother of His Higness, my lord.

This is my proposition:
enclose the Yucatán.

If those lands are inappropriate for us,
there'll be others, same rich.

And I already have
the plan of the expedition.

Have you ever been promised such wealth
without any expense?

- I do. I undertake every cost.
- With what money?

I'll sell my properties
and that'll be enough for men and ships.

- Our properties, Hernán?
- Give permission for sailing, kormányzó.

It's the only one thing I ask.
I undertake the means and the trouble.

Pacience, Cortés.

Castile has yet to solve the complaint
in the case of the Yucatán.

Let it!

Let the admiral from Flanders enjoy them.
We'll seek other lands.

And if those you would find are poor?
Or inhabited by cannibals?

- Cannibals...
- You don't even have proof about

- that there's anything on the Yucatán!
- There' always something.

If you insist,
I'll sutdy these.

But don't do anything
until the Crown answers.

In the meantime...

you can take advantage
of the waiting.

Or you don't want
descendants?

Keep this secret
between us, Grijalva.

And don't dare to change
any calculation in the expedition.

You couldn't
make it better.

Accept my honest apology
for occupying the one

that was your chamber
int the court.

A misadventure
became a conflict.

I trust you could
forgive me the insult.

I would know that it is forgotten
if you would accept my invitation.

Charles has invited you
to go hunting with him?

- What did you answer?
- Nothing. Yet.

Too much toil
to mend only one insult.

- What could he want?
- Don't go.

He would think
that I turned against him.

Maybe your brother envies the honour
that Castile gives you and denies from him.

- In your place, I wouldn't go.
- Would he be capable of finishing me off?

I swore obedience to him!
What else should I do?

Even kneeling,
you overshadow him.

Your Highness, why did
Cain kill Abel?

Because of jealousy.

Disregard my warning
if you consider it purposeless, but...

do you know
your brother?

Don't bring escort.

You may leave.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

It's a cold morning.

Tell me, what do they
hunt in these lands?

Fox, deer,

- boar...
- Boar?

Is this a german musket?
The one that doesn't need a string anymore?

That's right. A gunsmith
from Nurnberg prepares it for me.

I'll take it away if you want.
I wouldn't like to start with an advantage.

I know these woods
better than you.

An advantage against
the other, my lord.

I must ask you
a favour.

Call me Charles.

Bishopric of Coria,

8000 ducats.

Somewhat less from Tortosa.
Did you evaluate these offices for you, didn't you?

- That of Toledo is also vacant.
- I'm afraid it already has its owner.

- My nephew, Guillermo.
- But please, sir!

Some sanity!
How old is he? 20?

The Spanish Church
in the hands of a Fleming

who doesn't even take the trouble to come here.
But how can you think of something like that?

Surely, it's an office
with great responsability and immense power.

Do you prefer to out it
in Castilian hands?

The majority doesn't
want us in here.

And on the top of it, the Archbishop of Zaragoza
has also competed for it.

- The bastard of King Ferdinand?
- Imagine the threat.

We're polititians,
not philanthropists.

The nomination would stir up
the Castilians.

Fear is not a virtue
for someone who is governing.

But precaution is.
We must wait.

Announce this and the other
nomination after the Cortes.

If they deny us the loan out of aggravation,
how could the crown be maintained?

How could we go back to Flanders?
It's not good to risk.

Let's wait.

Let's wait, then.

I don't know
what the matter is with me today.

This barrel of yours sets up a hellish clamour.
It frightens the games off.

In Mechelen, I bagged deers
of 30 pounds with it.

Thank God we have people
who fill up our pantries.

It'd be better
to defer.

I'd be sorry
to lock myself in again.

- There are still sunny hourse.
- If you don't want to return yet,

follow me.

To hunt
with the Infante?

You left His Higness
alone with him?

Without escort?

From now on you'll let me know
everything he does.

Or you'll pay for jeopardizing
the King's life.

- You can swim, I suppose.
- It's snowing.

You don't dare?

You have more austrian blood
than aragonese?

Of course
I dare.

The cold doesn't frighten me off
for I come from where I come from.

Ferdinand?

Tell you mistress to show herself
in front of me immediately.

That won't be
necessary.

Your stick has already informed
the whole palace of your presence.

What do I owe the honour
of this visit?

I'd never expect
any decency from you.

But taking advantage of the relapsing
of my daughter's health to get near his husband,

makes you
a despicable person.

Madam, if you listen to slanders,
I won't be the one who'll pay the price.

Have honour
and don't lie to me!

As you like.

Don't delude yourself.

Whether God takes Suzanne
to his side or not,

you'll never possess
the fortune of the Bourbon.

- You know well that I have a right for their inheritance.
- If there's no male heir.

Do you still
think it possible?

The body is unwilling to get pregnant
when it has already lost 10 conceptions.

Neither you'll have the duke
nor you'll take the inheritance!

Only over my dead body!

- I'm sorry I put you in danger.
- Calm down.

I costs nothing to care for someone
who you share blooad with.

I wish I could have done it
with our sister Catherine.

How is she?

Why did he decided
to lock them up?

- Was King Ferdinand such unmerciful?
- Don't insult his memory.

There's never existed a more fair-minded man.
He must have had his reasons to act like that.

Reasons of a king, not of a father.
An unmerciful king.

And do you believe
you wouldn't be one?

Sooner or later every king
has to be unmerciful.

Let me comfort myself with scoring his mistakes.
About him, I only hear praises.

He deserves it.
I wish you had known him.

It's his mistake that
the people hear rejects me.

Because he forced the love
for you on them.

He told me that in Castile,
he was considered a stranger for being Aragonese.

Just like you
for coming from Flanders.

And he had to win them.
Beleive me.

Follow his example.

I thought Ferdinand
accompanied you, too.

My physician is examining him.
Nothing serious. Stay calm.

Was the hunting
fruitful?

Any pheasant?

- I'm not in the way of bagging fowls.
- What a pity!

The serving of a good pheasant is
the only appeal I find in hunting.

I try to go out
every day.

In the meantime,
Your Highness,

who will govern
your kingdoms?

Fortunately, I have councillors
to help me.

You should take an example
of your grandfather.

He never allowed anyone
to govern for him.

My grandfather is dead.

God took him
in his glory.

Now I am
the king.

But...
My lord...

How are you?

You parading in the swearing
was only the beginning, as I see.

I didn't know that, by giving up
the crown, I'd also lose your favour.

- But I'm not of use to you for anything!
- Nad what am I of use for?

I'm only a widow who is hated
by the late Queen Isabella's loyal subjects.

What will happen to me
without the King's favour?

Understand me,
and help me.

Since now your future
is as uncertain as mine.

You can come in.

My lord.

You're right.

You are the king and I'm sure
that you make your own decisions.

And that you do it
with wisdom.

Are interested
in the clocks?

What is inside of them,
especially.

Your father had one
which caused great admiration.

I don't know it.

He presented it to your grandmother,
Queen Isabella.

At the time of her death,
it fell into his hands.

And where is it?

I'm afraid
he must have parted with it.

So you know
how it works?

The hours pass, moving
the mechanism up and down.

You're young.

I'm more interested in time
than the devices they measure it.

Forgive me.
I should have warned you.

You are very kind.

I assure you I recognize
your grandfather in you.

Have you already got
bored of the countess?

Or maybe you have her under lock and key?
She hasn't been seen for days.

I allowed her to return
to Brittany, to her husband.

But very soon
she'll come back in my arms.

With the count's blessing?

Do you know that I put him
in the front of a company?

A man without honour
in such an honourable scope of duties.

The constable's wife
is dead.

I'll send my condolences
to the Duke of Bourbon.

No. I'll let him know
our sympathy myself.

- I'll go to the wake.
- As a rival?

As the heir.

I see today you let
the boars in peace.

I want to govern
the Council today.

Of course.

Actually, am issue
requires your opinion.

An issue
from the Indies?

Fromt there,
we received a complaint

about the granting of the Yucatán
to the admiral from Flanders which was signed by you.

It's from the alderman of Santiago,
Don Hernán Cortés.

He considers the decision
an unjust abuse.

How dares he criticize a royal order
with so little modesty?!

It's striking that we receive compalint from him
and not from the Governor, Don Diego de Vélazquez.

It was him, after all,
who financed the exploration of the Yucatán.

His obedience
does him credit.

The insult of this Cortés
cannot go unpunished.

Do you relieve him of his office as alderman?
Do you call him back to Castile?

Or do you take
his properties away from him?

Take as much time as you need
to study the question.

What's the matter
with you?

I have evil
forebodings.

Velázquez's silence
troubles me.

I'm grateful
for it.

It's his vapouring
that bores me.

I fear I was unwary,
Catalina.

- You are brave, nor unwary.
- No.

Maybe I was naive
that I entrusted my documents to him.

Do you fear he'd
launch without you?

He wouldn't.

If you're carried away by your dreams,
my husband would be taken away from me.

And I won't allow that.

Come.

Let me erase these
evil forebodings from your head.

Your Highness, your signature
is urgent on these orders.

It won't take
too much time of yours.

There's plenty of
nominations.

Your nephew,
Archbishop of Toledo?

It's a key position in Spain
and we have to keep it under control.

Guillermo will concede the command
and won't be of bad use.

I guarantee that he'll
enhance your power

Is this the procedure?

Your Highness, the Cortes of Castile
will be a threat to all of us.

The rhetoric won't be enough
to deal with it.

We must reach it
with giving a taste of our power.

How smart you are!

With only one signature,
you bring gain to me,

and to yourself.

I've learned that you begin
to make friends with your brother.

Don'e be offended at me saying
that it's good to go out with one of my age.

Understandable,
no doubt.

Besides, Flanders
misses the viridity.

Flanders?

You must have realised that Ferdinand
will have to leave Castile shortly.

I don't find reason for that.

I don't doubt his loyalty.

But the Infante images the hope
for those who reject your power.

Should I
exile him

because a few dissatisfied people are dreaming about
proclaiming him instead of me?

What should be done is to demonstrate
that I can govern with good judgement.

- I only overcome their defiance to meg this way.
- Your Highness, no one governs better

than the one who does it alone
in the people1s fantasy.

Think it over and you'll realize
that the Infante must be removed from the Court.

I have no decision
about this Cortés.

Stay calm.
I'll manage it.

There's still light.

Go out.

Your face shows
that you miss exercise.

Louise,
Your Highness...

I'm sorry, Charles.
For her and for you, too.

Have you seen her?

You can see it on her face
that she departed peacefully.

- As she always was.
- What a tragedy!

So young...

She always loved me more
than I loved her.

It bothers
my conscience.

You were a good husband.

Or can we choose
the one we love?

I'm glad you came.

I won't leave you alone
in such an evil moment.

You know
what I feel for you.

I hope the testament
won't come between us.

What are you talking about?

Suzanne was willing
to bequeath me her entire fortune.

That is not possible.

You had no sons. A part
of these estate belongs to me.

Don't blame me.
It's how she wanted.

It's how
her reprobate mother wanted!

For dignity...

Don't let her use her daughter's
testament against me.

- Against the Crown.
- I can't go against my wife's will.

And, otherwise,
I don't even want to.

Your mourning dress is not as touching
as you should be to make a fool of me.

If you deny giving me my part,
I'll bring the matter before Parliament.

Do it.

Your Highness...

I thought
you don't hunt fowls.

It's been a long time
since I saw pheasant as beautiful as this.

Thank you,
my lord.

I trust that...

What?

That you enjoy
your rest.

Why don't you join me
for dinner?

I'll order
to prepare this.

In the end
I get to like it.

Though I still prefer
the beer of Mechelen.

The pheasant didn't confirm you either.
You've barely tasted it.

And they say
you usually have a great appetite.

I barely have appetite.
I hope I don't offend you.

Are you ill, maybe?

Then you must be in love.

When the love overwhelms the body,
it infests that and doesn't leave space for food.

Do you sleep well?

The love also
keeps us awake.

Who wants to sleep when life
gives us that we're dreaming about?

We're walking...

As if we were
in the clouds.

And it shocks us if we
have to live without that...

Now this is
the meaning of our life.

- I love you.
- No...

No...
You don't love me.

Forgive me. The wine gave
wing to my boldness.

Where are you going?

You don't have to love me
to stay here.

Your grandfather sent you a letter
in which he called on you

to honour me
in his absence.

That's right.

I never thought that
you'd do that with so much endeavour.

I don't know what's
happenning with me when I'm with you.

I labour a lot to endear myself
with those for whom I'm a stranger, and with you...

The solitude
unites us.

That we are made feel
in these kingdoms.

We're two foreigners in a land where they
don't trust in somebody who came from outside.

It seems
you read my mind.

I've felt for years
what you feel now.

Will this mistrust
never end?

There must be some way
to gain these people.

You're in Castile
by not being here.

Locking yourself up
with your flemish councillors.

You mustn't make the same
mistake as you father.

I barely know Castilians
who I can trust.

You know the Duke of Alba
who is so loyal to you.

He would be a great councillor.
Just like Ferdinand.

- My brother?
- That's exactly why he would be.

You couldn't give him a bigger privilege
than serving you.

He learned from my husband everything
there is to know about these kingdoms.

With you by your side, the love that is denied
from you here will spread over you.

What you need
so much.

What are you thinking?

That I'd like to...

"honour" you again.

That's intolerable. The Archbishopric of Toledo
in a youngster Flemish's hands.

That's the mos serious but not the only one.
Chiévres, royal chamberlain!

And who will preside the Cortes?
How many bishoprics has he shared out amongst his people?

It seems the king didn't come
to rule Castile but to sack it!

Let's pass a writing
with our proposal to the Crown!

Don't count on me.

The avidity doesn't originate from the King's person.
I'm sure of it!

- Who signed the nominations if he didn't?
- And if he didn't know about that,

then he's only a puppet in his councillor's
hands, pretty comfort!

I don't deny the excess
and the futility.

If you, the most loyal of all
the gentlemen, don't deny it,

imagine the indignation
of the others!!

Are you sure that this indignation
stems from your worry abour Castile?

Or is it connected to that you are denied
offices you want for yourselves?

Enough!

Don't waste the fury amongst ourselves
that others deserve.

Ignore the writings.
The paper can burn easily.

The Cortes will get together soon.
There we'll make our voice be heard.

They'll have no options
but to regret their abuses.

Your Highness...

- You must put an end to this scandal.
- Scandal? What scandal?

The nominations you ordered
produced a great turmoil.

Both their number
and nature.

Explain yourself.

Or you haven't thought
that it will be considered as a provocation?

That wasn't
my intent.

Merely the election of Chiévres's nephew
as Archbishop of Toledo

was enough to rough them up
the wrong way.

Your Highness, if the Cortes seemed
difficult to you, it is much more now.

You made a mistake when you announced
the nominations after the Cortes ended!

How will we achieve
that they finance us?

- They will.
- Fool!

Half of Castile is against us.
Now the whole.

Let them bump as much as they want.
Their fury won't have any consequences.

The kings is planning
to send the Infante away.

Without him, what will the nobles
with their fury instead of swallowing it?

If we back off now,
it will appear the Castile is governed

by the temperament of its people.
Not by us.

- Your Highness...
- Why didn't you inform me

about the turmoil
that you nominations caused?

I didn't want to bother you with a situation
that I provoked alone.

It seves me a little
if you take the can.

The Cortes is coming and I don't see
if your decisions bettered my situation.

I'll speak for you.
Mine was the decision, mine is the burden.

From whose mouth did the question
arrive at you?

To be honest,
the messenger matters little.

Have you obeyed my order
to follow the King's steps?

And?

Sire, please keep
a check on your mother.

How was she capable of bringing
Suzanne's bequest to justice?

She feels she has a right for one part.
And I couldn't do anything against it.

And believe me if I'm saying
that I didn't encourage her to do it.

It is about a dead person's
last wish.

It can't be seen like the Crown
has got involved in such a despicable demand.

And it hasn't.

The Parliament will be the one
who decides this.

I'm unwilling to enter
in this conflict.

Do you think
I'm a fool?

What kind of justice can I expect
in a suit against the King's mother?

But you know
I'm not alone.

I know well how powerful
you are, duke,

and on which influential bosom
you find shelter.

And it won't change
the attitude.

I've been impressed
by the plan of the Le Romorantin.

How did workings
begin?

The span of the design
forces a certain slowness.

Ah, is that
because of this?

I thoguht the local malaria could be
what finished the workers off.

Maybe it wasn't the best location
in the long run.

I had no idea about your visit.
Are you leaving already?

I only wish
what belongs to me.

I regret nothing more
than seeing us on opposite sides.

Prove this sorrow
by giving up your efforts.

This...

this is a request
I cannot fulfill.

Castile

The King says
he feels himself honoured very much

for being the new ruler
of this kingdom.

Though his dominions
are several,

Castile stands in the centre
of his pride and attention.

Powerful kingdom
in the past,

with glorious deeds
and huge authority.

And the pride
must be mutual.

For this land must be proud of having
as its head someone who son of kings,

grandson of emperors
and monarchs.

Not luck was what determined
his fate but God himself.

So, obeying His Majesty
you respect the divine will.

And since your lord wants to defend you
against the Turks who are threatening your borders,

he asks you

to give him
cordially,

with 3 years
repayment,

200 million maravedis.

They want to sack our pockets
before giving their ears to us.

Do you take up the right
to speak ind the name of the Castilian Cortes?

I do. For I've discussed our demands
with the deputies and the lords.

We ask you to sign
your engagement

with Infanta Doña Isabella
of Portugal.

We ask you not to get
gold or silver out of Castile.

We ask that Infante Ferdinand
could stay in the country

until the King has an heir.
And we ask, no, demand!

To have every nomination cancelled
which was given to a foreigner.

Your Highness...

Take our demands in account
because you should remember:

the King is
our mercenary,

and not vice versa.

- Mercenary. What an intolerable daring!
- This is your fault!

Do you think, maybe, that I deliberately
seeked after this conflict?

No. You were too blind, thinking about
your own interests, to see it coming.

My interests are no different
from yours.

Everybody hates me because I'm a foreigner!
Many do because they like my brother better.

And if anyone had had doubts,
you did this against me!

My sways are public,
Your Highness.

Yours aren't.

But the scandal they would cause
wouldn't lag behind.

- What are you talking about?
- Your intimate affair

with the widow of the Catolic King,
your grandfather.

I caused no harm to anybody
with my deeds.

You cause harm with yours
to the man you should serve.

If you appreciate my work so little,
you only have to order departure.

Calm down.

They expressed their desires to you.
Respect them as much as you can.

If their fear is that you sack the kingdom,
you should do something to falsify it.

Maybe I should revoke Yucatán
from the admiral of Flanders.

It'd be
a wise decision

but it is the abuse in Castile and not in
the Indies that disgusts them more.

Remove Chiévres.
His stingines and arrogance are

what darken you.
And that he treats you as his puppet.

Sending him off,
you'd show your power

and make them see that
you don't want his mistakes.

Think about it.
And don't worry.

We take care of you.

Today you are
my only joy.

Abbey of Chantelle

Madam...

Dear Charles...

Don't grieve for me.

Without my daughter,

life is only sorrow
for me.

God is merciful
that he's taking me.

You know that I'll always be grateful.
I am who you've created from me.

And I've done it
with purpose.

Promise me that the Corwn will never
take away from you what I left for you.

That France will continue
to have two kings:

the one who sits on the throne
and you.

Look for alliances:
a marriage that raises you.

Become related to the Empire
and Francis will have to bow to you.

Swear.

I swear.

My daughter...

I swear.

Let us say our prayers for the soul
of the Honourable Anne of France.

God's joke
is on the Duke:

he grants him everything
by taking his wife

and now he leaves him alone
by taking away his only patron.

Without her, the jury will soon
give the case for you.

Be thankful for it to the Lord.
He's fulfilled all your wishes.

I've decided that I cancel
the transmisson of Yucatán to the Admiral of Flanders.

That peninsula and the conquered
new lands will be governed

by the person who could obey the Crown:
Diego de Velázquez.

So you think
this rebellious Cortés is right.

Do you find it
reasonable?

Here's the reprimand
he's going to get because of his temerity.

In order not to take
my decision as a success.

I only wanted to inform you.
I won't change my opinion.

Why haven't you raised your voice
once he doesn't want to hear mine?

Punishing the mediators,
he eases his anger with us.

- Should we complain?
- But the admiral of Flanders

promised us a great reward
as the payment of his concession.

My friend, the greater the damage
we've got rid of.

Your Highness!

I've been waiting
for your call.

The worst omens
regarding your brother

have been gracious compared to
what happenned in the end.

You've already seen the noise of the crowd.
Castile is united against him.

He made his oath but no Castilian
feel him their king.

Proclaim your rebellion
and everybody will follow you.

We're still in time,
Your Highness.

- We only wait for your order.
- I order you to be loyal

to your legitimate king:
my brother Charles.

The throne is his. And the Castilians' duty is
to serve and obey him.

But, Your Highness, you already
know about the abuses of his governance...

You complained about it resolutely
on the Cortes. Let that be the way,

- and not the treason.
- Your Highness...

Today, your words
remain between us.

But if you advise me any kind
of treason again,

you'll get the punishment
that the law specifies against traitors.

I'm sorry
that I disappoint you.

Tudom, kecsegtetõbb
találkozókhoz van szokva.

Charles let me know
that you knew about it.

You've come to offer an opinion...
I presume.

If I want to be honest,
I understand you.

We are all looking our interests.
But you've made a mistake.

That I've freed Charles from the cage
you held him locked?

Your influence on him
is a fruit of passion:

it will die as fast
as it has flushed.

However, mine forms
a part of his personality.

You've mentioned
a mistake...

If you wanted to secure yourself a favourable future
you should've come to me.

Learn from His Majesty.

Obey my will and you'll
want for nothing. I guarantee that.

- In exchange for what?
- Don't worry.

You only have to put an end
to your flirts.

And what if I refuse?

You will regret that.

How could that be
that the lady is gone?

Without further ado?
Without saying where she was going?

Speak.

I've baulked for this inheritence
and I may get it.

But it'll only satisfy
my ambition. Not my soul.

Happiness will only be
absolute if you're with me.

When you married my cousin
my heart stopped. I thought it was dead.

But now I know that
it can still beat again...

For you.

I've loved nobody more
since I became a widow 20 years ago.

Let's get married,
Charles.

Getting married, we could put
a period to our conflict.

And we would live the life
we had to give up long ago.

I knew that you're miser
and vengeful.

But I didn't know
about your dramatics.

"Love",
are you saying?

Ambition!
No more.

I swear
I'm speaking sincerely.

How could I believe you
when with this marriage my possessions and me

would remain to the King's grace?
Or isn't it what you want?

My greatness is so big that the Crown
could never subject the Duke of Bourbon.

Now, that the shadow of Anne of France
has died out

it's time to strengthen
the Crown forever.

And couldn't it wait
for the morning, mother?

The Duke of Bourbon
resists your power!

Do you permit it?

You want what began as a suit
to become the richness of France.

That will happen
if you're harsh with him.

If the example prevents all your subjects
from rising against you.

Be him ever
so powerful!

Humiliate him!

Take everything away from him,
my Caesar.

Everything!

Is it true?
Has the Crown taken sides?

The Yucatán comes under my control again.
So do the lands

conquered in the future.
Huge generosity from our King.

Now that the matter is settled we can depart.
I can prepare everything within days.

Great treasures are waiting for us,
Governor. Let's not make them wait.

I agree
with the haste.

But, unfortunately,
I must give up on you.

Juan de Grijalva
will be the captain.

Why?

How could I put someone
on the front of the expedition

- who's been reprimanded by His Majesty?
- Reprimanded?

It seems your complaint about the transmission
of Yucatán didn't appeal to him.

We both sent complaints.
Why is it only me whos's been punished?

I don't know. My reputation
must have found for me. I don't know.

Do understand that you have yet
to make a name in Castile.

That Velázquez bastard
snitched on me in front of the King!

What are you saying?

He used my protest to the Crown
to disguise his!

- Why would he do such a thing?
- To separate me from the expedition.

That whatsoever Grijalva will occupy
my place, using my calculations.

If the Governor acts like this
it is because he's afraid of you.

And he should be! I'll revenge
this betrayal. May God be my witness!

If he's your enemy
he'll never allow you

to be on the front
of the expedition.

He's a nobody
to allow me anything!

Diego de Velázquez will never come
between my desires and me again.

Only the destiny can.

The Infante refuses to help us.
We could do little against Charles

if he's unwilling
to proclaim the rebellion.

I trust
you were praying 'till dawn

so that what you caused
could be repaired.

If I'm a hardship
for you now,

I'm sure that
you'll get on better without me.

The word is yours.

Your Highness,
the session must begin.

Wait!

Please.

On the previous session of this Cortes
one man won.

It wasn't me,
no doubt.

Nor the one who raised his voice.
Nor the King.

Suleiman the Magnificent has won,
Sultan of the Turks.

Because while here you rejected nominations
and the dissension grew,

while you doubt
your King's ligitimacy,

Suleiman is preparing
to strike a fatal blow on us.

Your Highness, the Cortes of Castile
denies you the taxes.

Forget your first mission
as a Christian King.

Leave the coasts
defenseless.

So that they they attack their ships
and kidnap their youngsters!

So that they burn the churches
and force the faith of Muhammad!

Castilians, you see the King's ancestry
as a cause for mistrust.

Well, do know that
now there's no kingdom

which could defend
itself alone.

You're threatenned
by an Empire!

Only another
can defend you.

They'll give him the tax
and won't raise their voices against him.

Don't give it up
so quickly.

Why are all these things?

In considerations of the procrastination
of the Parliament in solving the suit

about your wife's will,
God keep her in His Glory,

the Corwn has decided
to intervene.

Therefore
I order

that the part of the inheritance
which is demanded by the Lady Louise of Savoy

should come into her possession
immediately and without delay,

the rest of the goods which were
trusted by the said will

should be confiscated
by the French Crown.

By what right
do you exploit me?

By the right a king is entitled to,
to defend the interests

of France against
anyone of its subjects.

I don't accept
any objection.

Go.

I did the impossible
when I hided from you.

It's hard to keep a secret
from a king.

Forgive me
that I left like that.

Chiévres,
I presume.

It's not easy at all
to defy what he says.

We both know it.
And so does the Cortes from now.

Did you get
the loan?

He got it.

I know. He's gainful
and hot-headed.

And causes me terrible diffictulties.
But he also solves them.

In this land, too,
which is hostile with me.

On the day when his sevice is no longer
worth it for me I'll give it up.

But I am the King,
Germaine!

That's why I'm here.
Because nobody makes decisions in my place.

Which one
am I to believe?

If you want me to command
you may not deny that I do.

No harm will come to you
if you stay by my side.

I guarantee that.

Your Highness! Are you coming
this hour? It's dawn.

I see you too satisfied
to be innocent.

Keep me
ignorant.

And you?

I see
you're worried.

This evening a letter came
from your grandfather Maximillian.

He says he's anxious about
the speeches of a german monk, Martin Luther.

What does he preach
that can trouble an emperor?

He criticize Rome
and its indulgence, shamelessly.

And many people pay attention
to his speeches.

There've always been
disputants and heretics.

The Emperor fears that
what seems to be a religious dispute

- will divide the german land in the end.
- Was it reported to the Pope?

Monkish things, he said,
according to your grandfather.

- He hasn't even excommunicated him.
- Let's follow his example.

Let's skip the matter
untill it's dissolved by itself.

Let's hope that it will,
Your Highness, but...

The problem is not who preaches,
but how many people listen to it.

And how many people want
things to change.

The one who seems to be sorrounded by his numerous followers
he himself will rise, whether he wants it or not.

And in the end he can overthrow
what is believed to be untouchable.

Your Highness...

Brother.

Tell me,
how can I serve you?

I have a mission
for you.

In Flanders.

I need you
in those lands.

Of course, you'll live in the Court and once
you get there you'll be given profitable offices.

Do you send me
in exile?

Why?

What mistake did I make?
Over and over again, I've been loyal to you.

Every step I've taken
was for your good.

And this is
how you reward me?

Don't consider my decision
a punishment.

Because I have no reason
to punish you.

You have no fault,
Ferdinand.

And that is what makes you
a threat to me.

I'm not mistaken! I rule
against many people's will.

And they will make it possible
that your loyalty breaks,

and you agree to overthrow me.
I can't take that risk.

You guard against a betrayal
that haven't existed, that I would betray you!

You were right:

sooner or later,
a king must be cruel.

Dear Aunt Margaret, I have to report you,
that soon you shall receive

the Infante Ferdinand
in the Court of Flanders.

My wish is that he should be
given the greatest attention

and be received
with heartiness and respect.

Teach him, and his advices
won't fail to be valuable.

His departure is not the result of his faults.
Because even if they exist, I don't know about them.

You know well that sometimes ruling requires
unjust bust necessary decisions.

Nothing would've pleased me more
than keeping him by my side.

As an adviser.

As a brother.

I, the King.

In the next episode:
You said that on the Cortes
they'd grant us the greatest attention.

And they did, Your Highness.
But they have the right to lay down their own conditions.

Is it not enough what you did
to Ferdinand and Catherine?

Do you also have to
betray me?!

- Glory and gold await us!
- Yes!

- Are not offended by the refusal?
- I know Charles will accept me as a wife.

The King of Portugal threatens with demanding
the repayment of the Castilian debt

if Charles doesn't agree
to marry his daughter.

- What do you expect from me, my lady?
- You'll serve as the counterpoint of Chiévres.

You have to lessen
his influence on Charles.

Join me and I'll give you
the command of one of my ships.

You're the natural candidate
to be the Emperor's successor.

You must be
prepared.

Why should Maximillian's successor
be French?

Because he'll have
our support.

Pay attention to Henry
és his cabals.

Because they're growing so fast
that they can be an obstacle

for your ambition
for the Imperial throne.

I won't leave
Germaine.

Are you ready to lose
the Imperial Crown because of her?

The streets in Zaragoza
are painted with blood.

- Where's the King?
- My lady, we must leave the city.

Tell Francis
that we accept the bargain.

I only receive you to tell you
that you're no longer in my service.

Calm down, mother.
Charles won't be a problem.

What's the matter?

Your Highness...
