Previously...
Do you want me to send
my troops to Italy?

Tighten the bonds
with the King of France.

And go together against
the Imperials to free the Pope.

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

A second army sent by
the King of France has entered Italy.

- Make the Pope send me a nuncio.
- What for, my lord?

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

Catherine, Queen of England,
show yourself before this tribunal.

I will not give in.
Henry will not have his wil!

How dares he?
Henry has gone too far.

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.

Stop there!
Do not take another step.

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?

You have another
daughter.

A petition has come
to judge you.

They will not hesitate
to arrest you.

You will keep the position of General Captain,
and, as compensation for your grievances I name you

Marquess of the Valley of Oaxaca.

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

I will not let him
humiliate me again!

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

- France lost the war.
- When will France get its hostages back?

When your son requires his legitimate wife,
the Emperor's sister join him.

The league against the Emperor is dead.
We can do nothing but negotiate.

The Pope accepts to crown me.
Isabella...

Today we leave our home because of
a noble cause. Let us go to Italy!

We all must be one

Bologna, 24 February 1530

My very beloved husband,
To the happiness for your coronation,

the birth of a new infante
for Spain joins,

your son,
Ferdinand.

Think about him, who looks
forward to getting to know you

and come back
as soon as possible.

The days seem to be
years without you.

And neither these kingdoms nor I will find
peace until we have you together with us.

The impatiance
barely let me sleep.

I hope your wound
didn't keep you awake.

Thank you. It is just a cut
caused by an inconvenient crystal.

It will not impede me
to receive the Emperor.

Now Charles can
name his successor.

He will.
I am sure.

Maybe that is what waked you up
at peep of day.

If I told you I have not thought about
that I could be his successor

- I would lie.
- Would you like it to be so?

Speak
without fear.

In the bottom of my heart, I would like
my brother to appreciate my loyalty

and to act
justly.

Don't say it as if your wish
were illicit and undeserved.

You know how to govern.
You are brave and irreproachable.

Your brother will not
find a better successor.

Soon he will have to come to this matter.
You will have my support then.

My aunt...

May the Emperor's arrival
be blessed.

Brother.

Brother!

Do you remember our grandfather
Maximilian's words?

- We all must be one, sharing...
- ... sharing the same goals.

Now we have the strength
to go beyond his dreams.

- And you are...?
- Your daughter.

Margaret.

I see Johanna,
your mother in you.

Thank you for the education
you give her.

Charles!

Call
the physician!

Sorry for being so inopportune,
Your Majesty.

Why have you concealed
your state from me?

You should not have wasted
strength by accompanying me.

It was my wish.

The works of so many years
have concluded, finally.

No. Now you should rest
and enjoy the happiness we attained.

No,
Your Highness.

No one can ignore
God's call.

- This is my hour.
- The Lord must not deprive me

- of your advices.
- He does, because he knows you are prepared.

So am I.

But there is
something...

something of
utmost importance.

Name your successor,
without delay.

Designate your brother.

You need to guarantee
the stability

in the Empire,

my lord.

No...

In Rome, I committed myself
to fight against heresy.

I have come to undertake
that mission.

- And how do you want to do it?
- With dialogue.

To His Holiness's
displeasure.

It is not only Luther who opines
that the Church needs a reform.

It is urgent to banish
the corruption out of the monasteries

- and give them back the lost dignity.
- We are indeed many who think so but...

This must not be an excuse
to fall into heresy.

A synod that congregates the Catholics
and the reformers will achieve this goal

- without provoking a schism.
- His Holiness is a schemer.

I don't have to
remind you.

If, in spite of your efforts,
there is no synod, what will happen?

You will be hostage of the word you gave to the heretics
and you will not be able to go against Rome.

On the contrary, the Pope will
demand you to subject them by force.

It is fair
what I wish to avoid.

Maybe... Maybe the reforms
cannot fit with this pope,

and it would be wiser
to wait for another.

Luther's thoughts
spread like plague.

He must be returned to the bosom
of the Church as soon as possible.

You and Rome should worry about
who really preys upon us.

It is the Turks, not the heresy, that
threatens the Empire. The whole Christendom.

The threat on our borders doesn't
let you see what grows inside.

No! But it is not a synod the Pope
has to convoke, it is a crusade.

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

Enough!

I will make the Turks
return to Constantinople.

But I will impede the schism
of the Church before.

Your Highness.

Forgive me.

I was so abstracted, writing to my brother,
that I didn't notice the time.

Sometimes the nostalgis invades me.
Understand me.

I also suffered from it when I was imprisoned
in Castile and you were my medicine.

Now I hope
to recompense.

Show me, then, what book you chose
to distract me from my troubles.

Seal it again
and send it.

There is nothing to be
afraid of in her writings.

But we will not lessen
the Spanish woman's custody.

And especially now that her brother is
more powerful then anybody has been.

Without anyone who defies him,
how long will he wait

to turn his eyes back to France
in order to augment dominions?

Either we will break the Emperor's authority
or he will finish with us.

If you break
the peace again

you will start a fight
impossible to finance.

And what
should I do?

Remain impassive
while he seizes all Europe?

Of course not.

Find the man who administers the blow
for you. He is not in default of enemies.

Now that the whole Christendom
pay homage to him

only one is ready
to face him.

Suleiman is spoiling
for conquering Vienna.

But he will not attack until
the favourable moment, and it cannot wait.

We don't need the Turks,
we need their fleet.

Their Admiral Barbarossa has been pestering
Charles on the Mediterranean for a while.

With an incentive, he could
redouble his efforts.

Especially knowing that
there is no king in Spain.

Let us take advantage
of their weakness

before the Emperor
secures his position.

There will not be
a better occasion.

Barbarossa provokes us
with each new attack.

How long will we feed him
with gold and men?

Do the Moors of the South
keep joining his lines?

In greater number
each time.

They prove to be more loyal
to the enemy than to their king.

I will not let them scatter
the seed of rebellion

amongst our subjects.

We have to put
an end to it.

It is difficult when our fleet is so poor
compared to the fleet of the Turks.

Our squads have not done the miracle
of walking on water yet, Your Majesty.

But put them on the land
and they will prove to be worthy of their fame.

How should we do that if we never
know where they will attack?

But we know
where they hide.

Algiers, where he organizes
his incursions from.

If we attack there we will
inflict the greatest damage on him.

Commendable venture, but risky
and very expensive to carry out.

Many men and ships
would be necessary.

The cost will be greater
if your subjects become

the advance party
of the Berbers of Africa.

Never!

We will finish
with Barbarossa in Algiers.

But I have to inform the Emperor before
so that he gives his approval.

A synod to defend
our ideas?

It seems the Emperor shows
benevolence towards us.

Do not let yourself be fooled.
The Pope and the Emperor are the same thing.

One will not change a word in
their doctrine and nor will the other.

- We could obtain some profit.
- You are right.

But to achieve
another goal.

Your demands will not be
but an analogy of good intentions

while do not silence
the dissonant voices.

Are you speaking about
Calvin or others?

We don't share
the same beliefs.

Each will have to do his way
to the meeting with God.

There should be
only one way.

The one that sets you united
against the Pope and the Emperor.

This unity will
never be achieved

without debating
with our protestant brothers!

Do it, then. Elaborate a joint text
and present it to the Emperor.

I assure you it will make you stronger
in his eyes than you are today.

But before that... it would be good
to force a compromise upon him.

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

You say it
well:

powerful as he is,
he is just a man.

Maybe it would be enough to scatter
the seed of discord in his own family.

I am glad that His Majesty
has proposed a synod.

I see the moment closer
when we all walk together

- towards the light of the same faith.
- I pray for that.

And I personally admire
you spirit, so open and tolerant.

I believe you have been interested
in Luther's ideas.

I appreciate the devotion
he indulges in

to study
the Scriptures.

Then you will like to read
one of his latest texts.

As we look for
the necessary concord,

it is good if we listen to
each other's voice, do you not think?

Does God's voice not
resound in all?

I will read it with
the attention it deserves.

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?

Let me
read it

and I will give you
an answer.

On our new destiny,
finally.

How little the New World has changed
since I took the vows.

Bloody pig!
Get up!

- Get up!
- Stop!

- In God's name!
- How dare you?

He is mine and I can do with him
whatever I wish. Catch him!

It is your fault!
I will take you to the justice.

Maybe if he pays you for him what he is worth,
it will not be necessary to disturb the authority.

With the way you treat him
his price must not be very high.

I don't have to give
neither much nor little.

No man is owner of the other,
according to the divine laws.

The only law that matters here
is the one that rules on this land,

- Friar...
- Bartolom� de las Casas.

If you have any problem
discuss it with the Almighty

because He is
the only one I obey.

How it is possible that they keep
disobeying the will of the Crown?

The repartition of the Indians
served only one goal:

teach them to live on something,
so that they have a profession.

And then they have
to be released.

There is no other king here
than the gold.

And the Indians are cheap labor force
you can make a fortune with.

I know it
all too well.

Because I was an encomendero
before friar.

While Cort�s governed here
it was stopped but...

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

If they don't
obey their king

maybe they are more afraid
of God's judgement.

The Empress asks for my authorization
to go against Algiers.

If she wants to put an end to Barbarossa's
incursions, there is no better option.

That is how
your grandfather opines.

And what is going
to be your answer?

Leave us alone,
please.

I am concerned.

The wound doesn't give
rest to our aunt.

She should not have suffered
so much without informing us.

I hope the physician
finds a remedy soon.

There is an issue
I wish to discuss with you.

It is about this letter
I have received.

King James of Scotland
sent it.

He seems to be quite
disposed to marry you.

I don't want
to marry again.

I would like to stay
here with our aunt.

Given that our aunt Catherine
has fallen from grace,

I need a new ally
near the King of England.

- Only the interest of the Empire leads me.
- And, even so, you want to make me marry

the enemy of
the reformers.

How will they
interpret your choose?

- James didn't hesitate to burn alive...
- I know better than anyone what I have to do.

You, just like me, have to work
for the welfare of the dynasty.

I love and respect my brother
above all,

but why does he not
listen to reason?

Mary, James may not be the husband
you would like the best

- but the dimplomacy have to be preferred.
- My brother doesn't...

You are a Habsburg
just like me.

I have been daughter, sister
and wife of rulers

and they didn't listen to
any of my complaints.

Do, then,
what your position requires,

and face your destiny
with pride.

You will be Queen of Scotland
if God wants it.

If God doesn't listen to my prayers
maybe I find another way.

Mary, enough,
please.

Your stubbornness doesn't redound to
the honour of your intelligence. Think it over.

Ah! And now please
help me get into bed.

Let me give you
the writing that Luther

and other supporters
of the reform of the Church

has published to have
a dialogue with Rome.

The essence
of their doctrine.

I will pass this memorial
to the Pope.

And I promise you that I will not give up
until it is debated in a synod.

I know the value
of your word.

I hope so.

Your Highness.

Did you read
the writing?

I did. And I found
inspiration in his words.

Luther will be honoured
to know it.

And I will be honoured
if he dedicates it to me.

Brothers,
I am here

without knowing
what to say

to open
your hearts

as blinded by greediness
and indignity as mine once was.

I just recall the words
that made my heart tremble

now more than
a decade ago.

By what right

do you make yourselves
owners of the Indians

and take from them what is theirs?
Are they not human beings?

Are you not obligated to love them
like yourselves, brothers in the faith?

You are in mortal sin!
You live and die in it

because of the cruelty
you treat innocent people with!

Go!

It is not me you turn
your back on, it is God!

Regret your sins
or you will burn in hell!

But don't expect
the absolution of your sins

if you insist
to possess Indians

and give them
maltreatment.

The Emperor orders to postpone
the campaign of Algiers

until a more
suitable moment.

Question
of priorieties.

He fears that the effort
to finish with Barbarossa

deprives us of the necessary
resources to confront the Turks.

At least, he sends Admiral Doria's
fleet to protect the coasts.

You know it doesn't
solve the problem.

Everytime the Empire
needs it

the Crown makes its people bleed
in order to fill the treasury.

- And what does it get in return?
- You are right in your complaint.

But it is the Emperor's will and whether
we like it or no we have to respect it.

However, what kind of regent
am I if I cannot make decisions?

My lady...

What happened?

Infante Ferdinand?

Breath...

Breath,
for God's sake!

You can do
nothing?

Your Majesty, my lord,
my beloved husband,

with soul devastated by pain,
I have to announce that Our Lord

wanted to take our son
Ferdinand away.

Your son is
with God.

There is no decision
about the synod yet.

With hard pain I could keep
from going to Spain.

But I cannot leave
without an answer.

There is something else
you must know.

The physician visited
our aunt again.

He didn't give
good news.

I will talk
to her.

But let us save her
from other troubles.

The physician doesn't
succeed in easing my pains.

You will
recover.

Only one remedy is needed
to make your health return.

The sickness of your foot
has inflamed.

It threatens with
invading you entirely.

- If...
- It has to be amputated.

You will lose a leg. Not the mind
and the spirit we all admire.

- Or, maybe, I will not survive the cure.
- God will not permit it.

You must be strong!
I need you here.

I trust no one
like I trust you.

You lost
Gattinara.

And I will not be
by your side forever.

Fortunately,
you can trust others.

In your brother Ferdinand
you will always find an ally's loyalty

- and the best councillor's intelligence.
- It is not the first time I hear this from you.

Oh, no!
Do you doubt, maybe?

I would not like to compromise
in the future the unity of the Empire

- which we have worked so much for.
- The future?

You need someone capable of governing
the very next day if it were necessary.

I see no reason to think
of that circumstance.

Neither you
nor I

know how much time
we have left in this world.

I will think about
what you propose.

Charles...

You have always mistrusted
everything and everyone.

Having you crowned has not did
but increased your fears.

Mistrust
your own family

and the weight of the Empire
will squash you.

You will end up
losing it.

A synod?

To discuss
this series of heresies?

An immense bonfire
would be more suitable.

The Emperor has
lost his mind.

I would have a talk with the devil before
with the infamous Luther and his followers!

He needs to guarantee
the unity of the Empire.

He knows that his authority
is in danger without that.

At the expense of that those
blasphemous people query mine!

Unfortunately,

I am afriad the Emperor uses
his influence over the Christian monarchs

to obligate me
to convoke a synod.

I see.

You want to know if France
lets itself be convinced.

It is very known that my lord thinks
that the Emperor's power is excessive.

- However...
- I would not ask his support of you

without giving
something in return.

France lost all
its influence in Italy.

It is in my hand
to turn the tables.

- What do you suggest?
- An alliance

founded by
a good marriage.

My niece Catherine
with Prince Henry.

A promising union,
in my eyes.

But how will you explain that
you refuse to please the Emperor?

His sister has provided me
the perfect excuse.

Who is the Christian who is waiting
for enjoying God's presence?

An encomendero.

I cannot deny him the pardon
in his last hours.

I would break my vows, condemning
a Christian for all eternity.

Has he regretted
his sins?

Has he given the freedom
to his Indians?

If we deny the encomenderos
the absolution

all the Spaniards of these lands
will be against our order.

Since you rather care for
ingratiating yourself with the authority,

let me deal
with the souls.

Show me where
the moribund is.

Prepare your soul to meet
God Our Lord, brother.

All the sins you can imagine
I have on my account.

Absolve me
because I see my hour coming.

Do you regret the treatment
you have given to the Indians, child?

- Yes, yes... I do.
- Then give up

those who you got in
the repartitions, and free them.

- You will remain clean from sin.
- Never!

- It is my children's inheritance.
- Rethink, for clemency.

You are still in time. Or is
the heaven not worth your regrets?

Give me the absolution.
It is your obligation.

It would be use for nothing
because your repentance is not true.

But I will pray for God to take pity
on your soul on the judgement day.

Mary...

Mary!

Aunt!

Swear...

Swear that you will always look after
the peace between your brothers.

You will take care
of it yourself,

but calm down now. Tomorrow
this suffering will be over.

Listen to me...

The lust for power...

can get
the men

to do the most
insensate things.

You will have to make them
return to the way of reason.

I will.
I swear.

But don't bother
more now.

The physician will son arrive.
Order them to prepare our aunt.

Mary!

Is it true that you permited
that Luther dedicated you a book?

- He asked for permission and I give that to him.
- Asked for permission?

How could you commit
such stupidity?

Do you not understand
that it compromises me?

I cannot lose
the favour of Rome!

I did it so that
the King of Scotland rejects me.

And did you think that would
be the only one consequence?

Are you
such a fool?

The Pope refuses to convoke
the synod because of your fault.

He wants to
excommunicate you.

I was not my intention
to provoke the Pope's wrath.

Nor to damage
your plans.

I just wanted to avoid
a marriage painful for me.

Putting your wishes
before my will.

- I apologize.
- Leave.

I don't want to have you
in my presence.

Go!

that
Mary did wrong,

but but don't let this acute
pope's ruses decevie you.

If he looked for a pretext,
it was handed on a late to him!

I doubt he will fulfill his threat.
He will not excommunicate her.

But he obligates me to subject Luther
and those who protect him, by force.

I wanted a synod.
And I see myself got into war!

You are going to go against the German princes
when you need them the most.

Don't count on me. Until now,
the Turks has only showed their teeth.

Start a fight in Germany
and they will not hesitate to invade us

because they will know
we are weak.

Do you defy me,
too?

Your Highness,
take her with you!

No one can know
what she held in her hand.

I swear for my honour
that no one will know it.

Let us pray to God
for her soul.

Please forget
our dispute.

Accept my comfort,
Charles.

I know who our aunt
was for you.

The most loyal ally.

The best counsellor.

All her life she indulged
in giving glitter

to our dynasty,
unconditionally.

A mission
we all share.

Mary
disobeys me.

And you turn your back on me
when I ask for your support.

Is this how you want to win
my trust and be my successor?

Do you doubt
my loyalty?

If you don't support me,
your presence in the Court is no use.

Leave
when you wish.

Your Majesty,
your pain is ours,

but important documents has been
waiting for your signature for days.

Your Majesty,

are you
alright?

You have fever,
Your Majesty.

I will be
faithful

to the mission
my husband entrusted me with.

Call the physician!
Quickly!

They have drawn blood on her several times
but she still has fever.

Apparently, she doesn't want
to abandon her lethargy.

The Emperor's absence
has weakened his spirit

in these so painful
moments.

Have you sent message
to the Duke of Alba

to show himself
in the Court?

Yes, Your Reverence.
But I am afriad his health impedes it.

Has he
fallen ill?

- What will we do if the Empress dies?
- God forbid.

For the welfare
of these kingdoms.

Now that the prince is still a child,
in which hands would the regency fall?

Should we inform His Majesty
so that he prepares himself?

Let us wait and see if the new day
brings us a miracle.

Don't let yourself be
defeated by the illness.

Fight.
Fight.

Your people
needs you.

Merciful God,

let her
live,

and take me
instead of her,

because I am not
necessary like her.

You should not have accpeted
to serve a mistress so fragile.

I bring you nothing
but fright.

I would do it again one
and thousand times, Your Majesty.

Praised be God!

The prior will not change
his behaviour. Be sure.

I don't criticize that he wants
to make the Indians' life better.

But this time
he has gone too far.

We must make him see, as soon as possible,
what could happen if he insists.

Council of the Indies,

How long will you permit that
His Majesty's subjects are

deprived of their divine
and human right?

The wailing of so much effused blood
now arrive to the heaven.

The angels and God himslef
cry because of so much cruelty,

and only the hells
rejoice.

Give the Indians their freedom
and do not obligate them to serve more

than any free person of these kingdoms,
before it is too late.

It must go on the first ship
towards Castile.

Where do you
have him hidden?

You have given refuge to an escaped Indian,
a very serious crime in these lands.

You better
confess.

You like to speak in your sermons
so much and now you are silent.

Capture him.

News have come
from Castile.

Your grandfather,
the duke...

My loyal Fernando, the death
doesn't want to give us truce.

I have to comfort you for this loss
so sad for you and for Spain.

He was a loyal
and valuable vassal.

He will be remembered
with repsect.

It should make you proud
that you inherit the title.

Bit by bit,
our seniors leave us.

I ask myself if our works will be
worthy continuation of theirs.

Please
forgive me.

I would like to pray
for his soul alone.

Come,
sister.

I don't wish to spend
more time distant from you.

But understand that nothing
will divert me from my mission.

You follow me in it
or you don't.

I will apologize again and again
until I stay out of breath.

You give me
your forgiveness or not,

I swear I will never leave you alone
nor will I be disloyal to you.

If I was rigorous with you,
please don't keep count of it.

I will not.

Let me ask for the return
of our brother Ferdinand.

It is not your duty
to intercede for him!

Our aunt entrusted me
with that mission.

These were the last words
I heard from her lips.

He will return
when he is ready to obey me.

Or he will
not return.

My dear sister,
Eleanor,

in absence of our deceased aunt
I ask for your help.

Because I am afraid of
the consequences of the great anger

that has been born
between our brothers.

Is this how the letter of my young
sister-in-law arrived, between these textiles?

Read it and you will
understand the precaution.

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

Do you think the protestants are
reason enough for such a discord?

Perhaps not. Now that the Emperor
can choose his successor.

Perhaps the Archduke doesn't
his aspirations coming true.

Charles is not a man prone to
give the command up or share it.

If the dispute stems from
the German protestants,

let us make them
aware of it.

Maybe the ruin of the Empire
comes from its very heart.

In the meanwhile, let the letter
arrive to its recipient.

And it should seem to
be touched by no one.

Your Majesty, how do you
get up so soon?

The fever has left
you very weak.

I have already neglected
my obligations for too much time.

It is time to
fulfill my duty.

What happened?

Another attack of Barbarossa.
This time in C�diz.

We were on the verge
of losing the port

where the ships from
the overseas dock.

How many humiliations does he
have to inflict on us to answer?

What is the obstacle?
Lack of money?

Because we will look for it
wherever we need to.

Collect amongst my subjects
what is necessary

to finish with
Barbarossa in Algiers.

But, Your Majesty...

The Emperor ordered
to postpone the attack.

I have to be guided by what is the best
for Spain because I am regent here,

not in the Empire.

Trust my word
in this.

Thank you for coming
to my call.

What is
your offer?

Does your protege, Luther wish
to dedicate me a book, perhaps?

No. But, maybe, you will be interested
in the thing I wish to tell you about.

Let me
doubt that.

Only intrigues can be suspected
from a secret meeting.

And, even so,
you are here.

Surely, you know that
the Pope refused the snyod.

Yes, I do.

I suppose he will demand the Emperor
to annihilate the protestants

and the princes who are
opposed to the abuses of Rome.

Your silence
is eloquent.

If your brother obeys, he will
obligate us to defend ourselves.

And he will egg us on
to secede from the Empire.

Why do you make me
privy to all these?

You could be the head of
that new German state.

Your legitimacy as a Habsburg
and our strength would make it possible.

What makes you think that I would
be disposed to betray my brother?

Does he give you the place
you deserve, perhaps?

No, Your Highness. He rather
denies you. Am I wrong?

Though educated in Spain,
you understand our troubles better.

But the Emperor underrates your opinion
and impedes you to intervene.

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

Only Charles's fractiousness
would be the cause of the schism.

I cannot
answer now.

Such a serious matter deserves
a well-reasoned answer.

Of course. The Empire has not
declared war on us yet.

Nor have we.

- God forbid.
- Amen.

- Does the princes not look handsome?
- Very handsome.

Impersonator
of his father.

There are news from
Frederick of Saxony, my lord.

He thinks the Archduke proves himself
to be willing than he presupposed.

And do you give
credit to his words?

At least, he doesn't refuse to revolt
against his brother if the time comes.

Excellent.

Maybe we will soon see the Caesar
fall into the hands of his own blood.

Son,

a king have to beware
of his enemies,

but, especially,
of his friends

Don't trust anyone, ever.
Not even your own family.

The greediness and vindictiveness
doesn't understand kinship.

How many times
have you dreamed

about being the heir to the throne
instead of your brother?

If you ever commit treason
against your family,

banish the pity
out of your heart,

or your life will
be worth nothing.

I am not
a traitor.

I believe that.

Nevertheless,
learn the lesson.

You are not very
attentive today.

Maybe you would prefer
to hunt with your father.

The King and I don't
have the same taste,

nor do we behave
the same way!

I didn't want to
infuriate you.

Is it true that I can never trust
anyone, like my father says?

Is that the life that waits for me
for being the king's son?

Be prudent,
not mistrustful.

Merciful with those who surround you
and merciless when they betray you.

But don't see
the enemy in everyone.

Why does my father
not speak like you?

Maybe he never had anyone
who could teach him that.

Like my aunt did with
my siblings and me.

Your words don't
correspond the reality.

Perhaps every second son's destiny
is betraying the firstborn.

Why are you
saying this?

Your brother,

the Archduke Ferdinand,

is on the point of rebelling
against the Emperor.

The information is true.
I swear to it on my honour.

Help me impede it.

I would betray my father,
going against his interests.

I just wish to send a letter
that could arrive to its destination

without other eyes
reading it.

- You ask too much.
- I beg you!

For the friendship
that unites us.

I will make the letter
you write arrive.

But consider my debt
to you paid off.

Because you will not get
any grace from me again.

You could be the head of
that new German state.

Your legitimacy as a Habsburg
and our strength would make it possible.

- Ferdinand is conspiring against me!
- That cannot be true.

He has done deal with Frederick of Saxony
to secede from the Empire!

Read it!

I have to start a war
against the protestants,

and now I discover that
I will do it against my brother.

Your Majesty,
I understand your pain.

But if such a conspiracy is really
under way, it must be prevented.

Think about the summation of the forces
of your brother and the princes.

You would undertake a costly war
with uncertain outcome.

The occasion the infidels waits for,
in order to inflict a fatal blow on us.

Go and find the Archduke.
Capture him and take him to a secure prison.

I will prevent him from compounding with the princes.
Perhaps we could prevent the conspiracy.

And what if
he resists?

Brother, don't go
against Ferdinand.

Whatever this letter says,
my heart tells me that it is not possible.

The treason is a fact.
The war, inevitable!

I have to go into it
with the best conditions.

My lord,

please let me go with the Duke.
If our brother resists,

- I will convince him.
- No!

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

Your Majesty,
your people responded.

This is what was collected to fight
against Barbarossa in Algiers.

And there are still
some to come.

I didn't expect less, because I know
how much they love these kingdoms.

Just like
their Empress.

Without your effort, the defense of
our borders would have had to wait.

Now everything
is in God's hands.

God Almighty,

I am applying to you in this hour
of loneliness and tribulation.

Please enlighten me
so that my judgement could be fair.

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

Halt!

In the Emperor's name,
surrender, brother, please.

Lay down
the arms!

- What am I accused of?
- Conspiring against the Emperor.

So, of high treason.

Ferdinand!

If this is my crime,
what are you waiting for to execute me?

It is as good place
as any to die.

Nothing will be done against you
without listening to you before!

That is how
His Majesty disposed.

- But you have to surrender yourself.
- Take me to him, then.

It will be profitable for him
what I have to tell him.

- These are not the orders I have.
- Give him this grace!

He is my brother and I know
he is not a traitor.

I beg you.

- Do you think it wise to bring him here?
- Don't blame the Duke.

I asked him
to bring me to you.

Actually, I was coming here
when I was arrested.

- With what intention?
- I confess I felt tempted

to leave you forever. Leave you alone
with your stubbornnes and mistrust.

- Were you going to revolt against me?
- Never! I will never betray you!

I have never done
and I never will. I swear.

You paid attention
to my enemies

and didn't come to warn me
what they are up to.

Nothing that they want
can be done without me.

I wanted to find out
who the conspirators are

and what kind of
forces they have.

You don't
believe me.

Do you know me
so little?

I know your wishes and I know
how underrated you feel yourself.

You know my loyalty!
Above all.

- Hogy lehetsz ilyen goromba?
- Listen to me, both of you!

Or have you forgotten
the bond that unites us?

Grave dangers prey upon us. The things
that happened are clear proof of that.

If we become enemies, what kind of fate
waits for us if not destruction?

We have to follow
the path of our ancestors.

And only if we are united we will be
able to fulfill such a sacred mission.

My lord,

Suleiman's troops
are going towards Vienna.

Your Majesty,

I am waiting
for your orders.

Your Majesty, bad news
from New Spain.

The person who was named to be
the Indians' protector by the Emperor

has been
imprisoned.

- What kind of crime did he commit?
- Helping an Indian escape from an estate.

Very serious matter in those lands,
even for a Dominican prior.

His superiors ask you
to intercede.

But I am very afraid his behaviour
doesn't lack motives.

He must have sent it to the Council
of the Indies before he was arrested.

The most disfavored subjects
of Casile suffer a sad destiny.

But if you intervene in
favour of Friar Bartolom�

you yourself will break the laws
you demand to be kept.

Unjust laws that make some people
be slaves of others

when they are all equals
in the eyes of the Crown.

Let us
change them!

We will give calm to the Indians,
and release the friar.

Get up!
You can leave.

Thank the Empress for it.
You owe your freedom to her.

Finally, someone hears the lamentation
that comes from these lands.

What a great impulse to continue
the fight that seemed to be exhausted!

I admire
your determination,

but if you value your life at all,
leave this place as soon as possible.

- Are you threatening a servant of God?
- No, I'm just warning you.

Jail is not the worst
that can happen to you

if you insist on
defying the encomenderos.

Our Lord suffered
for uncovering the injustice.

I should not suffer
less than He did.

Fortunately,

for our calmness, your superiors
don't opine the same.

They have already
named a new prior.

I will respect the decisions
of those who I owe obedience.

But I will
never surrender.

I will always fight for giving the Indians
what belongs to them by right.

Because God
is with me.

You commit the sin of conceit if you think
that only you can change the world.

What other thing you do
is no concern of mine.

Accept
an advice:

take care.

Castile is far away,
and the Empress's protection

doesn't get to every corner
of the Empire.

Are you bowing to the man
you intrigue against?

I should arrest you
without delay.

- You and your accomplices.
- My lord...

Our only fault has been that
we tried to defend ourselves against you.

If we turned to your brother
it was because only a Habsburg

could give legitimacy
to our cause.

So has the Archduke
let me know.

While you conspired
against the Empire,

Suleiman arrived
to the gates of Vienna.

I have made an appeal to
the Christian princes to defend it.

If they don't want to
see their lands destroyed

and their people subjected, the only thing
to do is facing, united, the infidels.

I recommend you to
forget our differences

and you join me and my brother
because we will go to the battle together.

You are speaking
of a union,

but the reformators will
keep being outcasts.

I will obligate the Pope
to convoke a synod in the future.

- I give you my word.
- And until it comes?

I will not persecute those
who are accused of herecy by Rome.

Then, we will go together
against the infidels.

Let it be.

The moment I was so afraid of
has come.

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

The Emperor asks Spain
to send money and men

to the defense
of Vienna.

Your Majesty,

your subjects have contributed
generously against Barbarossa

but will refuse to give
one more maravedi.

Should I choose between
helping my husband and lord

and defending the borders
of my kingdoms?

Between Spain
and the Empire?

I acted against the Emperor's opinion
and I have to face the consequences.

We will destine the collected sum
for the defense of Vienna.

You will lose the confidence of those
who have shown so much enthusiasm for you.

My word will be questionable.
I know it well.

There must be
some way

to mitigate
their discontent.

We don't know when we need
their help again.

Here lies what was collected
for the fight against the infidels

who devastate
our coasts.

But it will not be Algiers where the fight
will take place. It will be in Vienna,

where the Emperor has convoked
the entire Christendom.

Nobody wishes to finish with
Barbarossa more than I do.

But our sacrifice will be good
for nothing if we defeat him

because another
will take his place.

I know that other goals
encouraged your generousity.

I gave my word.
You know that well.

I have never wanted
to deceive you.

That is why

if anyone wants
what is theirs,

come closer
and take it back.

The Emperor demands our presence
to fight against Suleiman.

Mother, you should only care for
your recovery from your illness.

- What answer will we give him?
- Let Suleiman

teach the Christendom that
there will be no victory without France.

Is this how you honour the treaty
signed with the Emperor?

Refusing to go
and help him?

How dare you ask
explanations of me?

I have born how much humiliation
you have inflicted on me,

for the sake
of peace.

But it has been good for nothing.
I got to know you as a traitor,

- and you will have to die a traitor.
- Take care of what you are saying!

Do you deny that you have
conspired against the Empire?

I just look for the glory of France.
And you should do the same,

- because, much to my regret, you are the queen.
- How?

You don't even treat me
as your wife!

You are not else
but my enemy's sister.

We will never
bed together!

Siege of Vienna, 1532

God is bringing you
back alive!

The Turks retreated
without a battle.

If that was God's will,
may it be blessed.

Mary!

Thank you very much
for your worry.

You are
my fortress.

I will give you
what you asked for.

You will stay here,
governing the Low Countries.

It is what our aunt
Margaret would have wanted.

As for you,

I pray to God not to let
any discord between us ever again.

We both will have
to do our share.

You will be
King of the Romans,

my successor.

I only ask you that my son
Philip inherits the title.

It will be so.

We all must
be one.

Sharing
the same goals.

Next time...
Charles!

With this ring,
I make you my wife.

- Will he live?
- There is no certainty. The injury is terrible.

- Oh my God!
- The heir must be protected.

You will become related to the Crown
of France with a signature,

and the world will know that there is
no tyrant who subjects the Holy Father.

- My life is in danger, Your Highness.
- Look my in the eyes,

and call me
a bastard.

- My hands!
- England will have its own Churhc.

And I will
govern it!

Do you want to give him back
the position of governor?

It will be enough
if I promise him.

Rome will not support you ot recover
Milan. Pope Clement is dead.

Please entrust someone else
with the governance of Flanders.

Such a high duty cannot remain
in the hands of someone so weak.

- You will leave the Court this very day.
- The love strengthens as much as the rigor does.

Respect my decision
and do it in silence.

Prove me that the King has made
New Spain a viceroyalty,

and made you
a viceroy!

I want to hear
your proteges,

those who say there is
another way of talking to God.

Who did this to you?
The bondsmen? Give me names!

They would not
let you...

In England there is
no other queen but me!

Father!
Father...
