Previously...
- For the Emperor!
- For the Emperor!

You will lose
your electoral rank.

And all and each one of your possessions
in the Duchy of Saxony!

The King is dead.
Long live the King!

I have failed you.
You and the Empire.

Marry my cousin? Is this the favour
my uncle is disposed to give to me?

Maximilian will not come back. Because I have
decided to give him the Regency of Spain.

Ferdinand received Maximilian's complaints
and I got our brother's

who doesn't understand
why you make orts of his son.

Why do you give him the regency
if you don't want him to govern?

My moment has come.
I ask you to clear the way.

De las Casas has come back from the Indies,
demanding that the encomiendas and the slavery

of the Indians should be eradicated. And, thanks
to his influence in the Council of the Indies,

they stopped the publication
of Sepúlveda's book.

These are the theologians
who will form the jury.

There is no point to present
my cause before such a tribunal.

Do know that the tribunal has requested
that your 3 days of presentation

would be summarized
for investigation.

- I thought it over and I believe I was unfair to our brother.
- Are you going to negotiate about another solution?

Maximilian will
succeed Philip.

The two branches of the family will take
turns at having the Imperial Crown,

- and nobody will be insulted.
- What kind of joke is this?

Let us rebel
against him again!

Tell Frederick of Saxony that
France will go and defend its allies.

Gather as many men as able to leave now
to help the Emperor!

We cannot finish
with the imperial army.

- But we can finish with the man they fight for.
- Are you suggesting the Emperor's murder?

What are you
scheming?

Go back! If you go on
you will go to certain death.

I wish to be nobody

Those gunfires are French.
Our powder ran out days ago.

Your Majesty, be prudent. We are
still in time to ask for a truce.

The humiliation of Innsbruck
was enough. No...

- I am not going to let them win in Metz!
- They know about your wounded pride.

Can't you see that they take advantage of it?
They are just provoking us to take you to disaster.

You are so stubborn
it seems disloyalty.

My sword!

Am I called stubborn by someone
who wants to fight tormented by gout?

The pain will disappear. In battle
one doesn't feel the body.

Only the fear.

The command
is yours.

Take off his armour!
They must not know it is him.

Take the Caesar
away from here!

Leave me.

I didn't know
I would find you awake.

And should I sleep
while my men are fighting?

Tell me.

We have done
what we could.

I don't doubt that.

How many?

Hundreds.

But we have enough men
for another act.

We are retreating.

I will ask
for a truce.

You will be the one who negotioates
about the conditions.

With your self-esteem, you will not yield
easily to the abuses of the French.

If you know my pride,
why do you force me?

- I tried to avoid the defeat!
- Look at me! For God's sake!

I will not add more dishonors
to those that I have already suffered.

I am not going
to show myself ill.

If you don't want to obey me
someone else will complete the mission.

I wil serve you
with the care as always.

But, if you made a mistake,
Your Majesty,

paying for it
would clean your soul.

- The young man who gave his life for me...
- Guzmán!

Make sure his family
wants for nothing.

I will.

What news are you
bringing from Portugal?

Its prosperity grows
with every advance in the New World.

Nothing distracts them
neither disturbs its bonds with Spain.

And those that broke one day
will settle, perhaps.

Your aunt Eleanor's daughter.

I told her I would visit Flanders
and I could take a portrait to her mother.

I had to insist,
but I got it in the end.

Maria,
am I right?

So much beauty is not usually
accompanied by wit.

- Is this the case?
- During our conversation,

she talked about state affairs
as well as about music and philosophy.

A very unusual young woman,
certainly.

It is a shame that your aunt
doesn't enjoy such a virtuous child.

I have to prepare
my departure.

Go.

Damn it!

I feel...
I am not a good son.

If you venerate
your father...

But I despise him
for making absurd decisions.

Like those that led to
losing Metz.

If you disagree with his orders
that doesn't make you a traitor.

Sometimes I would
like to take his place.

Immediately.

Before he keeps reducing, with his mistakes,
what I will get one day.

I love him
with devotion,

but...

I don't admire
him anymore.

I feel I am more sensible
and stronger than him.

In my hands, his domains
would not know failure.

Your Highness,

you are both
humans.

Neither he is incapable of everything
nor you are infallible.

It is said he can hardly
get up from bed!

You fear that...

the one who was a great man
and doesn't have strength to be that anymore

will spoil
your future?

Then, help him
as much as you can.

If you see him weak,
give him strength.

If mistaken,
advise him.

Take care of those that will be yours
by being generous to him.

And get ready,
Your Highness.

Get ready for the day when you are
the most powerful man in the Christendom.

What will be
the penitence, father?

Something that may teach you
what is really living in impotence.

Who is
coming?

Your Highness.

Grandmother.

Are you the one
who has his name?

And you possess
his handsome appearance.

Be merciful
to the women who love you.

How are you?

My legs don't respond now.
It has taken 40 years for them

to understand that here
I have no use of them.

If you need any care,
let me know and it will be given.

With what aim
have you come?

- What do you want from me?
- Nothing more than knowing about you.

Why are you having
suspicions?

Because you have
my blood.

I have never known a family
so destitute of compassion like this.

We disarmed
the Emperor, my son.

Here you have
his sword.

Thank you,
Father.

If your father had gained it,
he would have asked to be buried with it.

He would be
proud of you.

He would be even prouder
of my next actions.

I will be merciful,
Montmorency.

I am going to kill
the dying man.

What do you mean? You accepted
to negotiate a truce with him.

Only in Flanders.

I am talking
about Italy.

France is surrounded
by that poor old man's domains.

I have to use this opportunity
to relieve France of that siege.

I will not let
the Emperor

leave this world
doubting his greatness.

- He has to know he hasn't got it anymore.
- Italy is not Metz, my lord!

In order to take what the Caesar possesses,
you would need the millions you owe

after the last
fights.

And what does it matter, increasing the debt,
if that gives us victory?

There will be time to repay it,
will there not?

Such a sublime intention cannot be
restrained by such triviality.

I see
we agree.

I just citaba
your father.

Learn from your predecessor's
fault, Your Highness.

Or you will give a bitter liberation for France
if you ruin it in order to achieve that.

It is expedient
that I marry again.

I have to look
to the future.

One heir is not total
guarantee of continuity.

And these kingdoms would have, in the person
who will be my wife, their regent.

Who have you
chosen?

The Princess Maria of Portugal.

Another Portuguese?

Before you become
disappointed again:

you are not going to find
your mother her, either.

I expected that you would
marry sooner or later.

I know my place.

I settle for
keeping it.

I love you.

But my intention is
that I stop loving you.

My father was never
unfaithful to his wife.

And I want to be better
than him in everything.

Their love was a miracle
that doesn't happen twice.

You have been
a mistake.

A very beautiful one.

Do you not believe me capable
of giving up you?

My soul is free.

And freely...

it will always
come back to me.

The truce has obligated me
to tolerate the heresy.

In return
for peace.

The unity of the faith
gave reason the Empire.

And I could not
achieve it.

The heresy has spread
like plague

and Rome has done
nothing to impede it.

- Anyone would have failed.
- But it was me!

And it is not
my only fault.

I stock a field
with dead men in Metz.

And I have ruined Spain
with my ventures.

The merit can be found in living
and aspiring above our strength

and extracting those
from that pride.

Those words of yours
were my guide.

The one who wrote them
was someone else.

Younger and more
vigorous than me.

With less defeats on his shoulders
and capable of drawing the sword.

Mary,

I have come to that place of the way
when only decline awaits.

If the greatest one
of the Emperors did it

it will not dishonor me
at all if I imitate it.

I wish to reitre.

What are you saying, Your Majesty?
Only God removes the rulers.

Are the mediocre people who hang on power
better example than Charlemagne?

Onyl vanity keeps someone on the throne
who already knows that he is useless.

Also the sense
of duty.

Since I have it,

I don't want my decline cause
that of my domains.

But don't worry,

I know my will cannot be
complied immediately.

Your mother.

You have to govern Casile
in her name until she dies.

And I don't want to leave
hostile with Ferdinand.

Or, as soon as I leave,
war will break out for my legacy.

I am afraid that hostility
will survive the Queen.

I will ask my sister again
to mediate between the two of us.

And you
to dispose of the necessary things

so that, at that time,
nothing detains my retiring.

You are speaking with melancholia
because you see yourself ill.

What did the phyisicians
say to you?

Only one of their remedies
pleases me.

Resting under
the sun of Spain.

Magnificent idea!

I will undertake that I find a place
there for you where you can rest.

I am sure that
when you recover

your mind to govern
will come back.

I am not sad,
my dear Granvela.

Just very tired.

Brother, finally,
a happy surprise for you.

Father.

I am bringing you money to reload
the tresury after the last venture.

Do you come to relieve me
or reproach me for the defeat?

I am coming to offer you my support
in hours so bitter for my father.

Nothing could
please me more.

The gout!

And some superfluous efforts.

Just like fleeing from Innsbruck
to save your life

because your brother
didn't want to join you?

I makes no sense if you are angrier
with Ferdinand than I am.

Because of him, death chased you
in your Empire!

And thanks to him,
I avoided it!

- He saved me!
- From the punishment he himself imposed on you.

- He is as disloyal as his son!
- Philip!

There is a long history
between Ferdinand and I.

More complicated
than you think.

If we summed up the offenses of one another
maybe I would be the villain.

The anger exhausts. And more
for someone who should be our ally.

The enemies are others.

Don't forget it.

I went to visit
the Queen Joanna.

She is dying.

Father, I would like
to marry again.

Do you have
candidates?

My cousin Maria of Portugal
has not been married off yet.

I would be opportune to redo
our union with Lisbon.

The one that was lost
when my wife died.

Who else did you
think of?

What does
she have?

She is beautiful and,
according to Granvela, cultured.

I don't know why, but I believe
she will be the one who makes me happy.

Something that poor Maria Manuela
could not achieve.

You are young.

At your age
I had not been in love yet.

I know what it is
to love.

But not whom
I should.

Do you keep visiting that woman?
That is not beneficial if you don't care for her

- and even less if you do!
- I know.

That is why I wish to marry
someone who interests me

and to leave
my deviations behind.

I want for myself
what you and mother shared.

Sometimes I feel it a punishment
that I was witness of your love.

I fear I will always look for
something so perfect

and be unhappy
if I don't find it.

If you wish for it
you will have it.

As long as you set aside
passions that leads you nowhere.

I said goodbye
to her, Father.

You have
my blessing.

I will write to Portugal,
without fail,

soliciting
the marriage.

- I am going to marry.
- Whom?

Your daughter.

If you will excuse me,
I have to reply to her letter.

Eleanor.

It is great news.

When I last saw her
she was a baby.

Does it scare you
to see her again?

I left her in Portugal
and didn't look behind.

What kind of a mother
behaves likes like that?

Ours.

And we didn't grow up
hating her.

Just ignoring
her existence.

That is aready terrible
in itself.

They say
she will not live long.

Your Majesty,
the King of England is dead.

Edward?

So yound?

Maybe God punishes those
who turn their back on Rome.

- Who will take the throne?
- Your cousin, Mary Tudor.

She is devoted
Catholic.

Maybe she makes England return
to the obedience of Rome.

But she is in years.

And has not
married yet.

If she died without having an heir,
her half-sister Elizabeth would rule,

the most convinced
of Lutherans.

With Mary, there is a possible
alliance against France.

She will have to find a consort
to prolong her lineage

and not lose
that advantage.

Do you still have
the idea of retiring?

It is the most brillant idea
I have ever had.

I have heard about a place in Castile
where you could rest awhile.

It is a Hieronymites monastery.

Maybe verystill for someone
who is so accustomed to activity.

Where is it?

In the county of La Vera.
In Extremadura.

It is a sunlit region and the environment
of the monastery is beautiful.

With groves
and streams.

If you like it, I would not wait
to prepare your stay there.

Do it.

- Brother, can I talk to you?
- Speak.

If you don't need me here,
please give me permission

to travel
to Castile.

There is something I would like
to settle before it is too late.

Mother.

I don't wish to disturb
your peace

but I need
to gain mine.

You neglected us,

you forgot about us and it
didn't even seem to regret it.

As if we had not come
from your womb.

You had children
but you were never a mother.

You don't wish to disturb my peace
and you appear,

reminding me of
all my faults?

My faults
are no less.

Just like your other children,
I have let you

stay here locked up
for almost half a century.

Every time I have come to visit you
I wished the hour of my leaving had come.

And you have hardly

had place
in my thoughts.

Don't blame yourself.

If I have not been mother, why would
you feel love for your parent?

You have payed abundantly
for your faults.

Do I deserve compassion
for that?

All my love

was for my husband.

For you

there was nothing
left.

I am sorry
for that.

But...

I have
no regrets.

Because I was the only way
I could be.

Let us forgive
each other.

Both of us.

Let us be mother and daughter,
even if just one time.

Why?

With mi daughter, I have committed
the same sin as you have.

And I need to believe
that any distance can be overcome.

Even if
it is late.

If it gives
you peace,

okay.

Marry Mary Tudor?

Look for the inconvenience
and you will not find it.

It would associate us with England
and, giving it an heir,

Catholicism would be
perpetuated in that kingdom.

You and I would collaborate
in the crusade against heretics.

And you would become
king of England.

- I had other plans, Father!
- Your plans are my plans.

I will make
your decision mine.

But know

that when I take your place I will pay
attention to other wills and not just mine.

Because I know that whoever
imposes has punishment.

Your Highness.

Thank you for
the embassy.

It will not be hard for you to take
the promise of fraternity from this court

- to my cousin the Emperor.
- Which he will return sincerely.

His wish for the concord with you is such
that he hands you his son as a bond.

Entire Europe seems
determined to marry me!

The Crown of France has
also given me a suitor.

Of such a high rank
like the Caesar's heir?

And who will inherit Spain,
the Indies, Naples and Siciliy?

A man...
after all.

And I don't know if I find
his company pleasant.

Why is solitude considered
as a defect when it is a gift?

Because it will not give you the heir
the throne of England needs.

And it will be your sister
who succeeds you.

Half-sister!

What is your prince like?

Pious.
Determined but dependable.

He likes music,
and he is handsome.

Believing you
is question of trust?

As to his inward virtues, you have to
trust my word... and I give it.

But his appearance,

you can judge it
yourself.

They say you have to thank Tiziano
for making you king of England.

I hope your journey
will be fortunate.

The passage to
there is short.

But the stay
will be long.

Your reading
is intachable.

For this reason, from now on
I put the Kingdom of Naples in your hands.

Which I receive
with honour.

Thank you,
Father.

I married your mother
in order to get her dowry.

No feeling made me
choose her.

And, even so,
I have not known love like ours.

Who knows? Maybe on the other side of
the sea the same happines awaits you.

Your Highness.

Welcome.

The land you are stepping on
will be yours soon.

Care for it
and it will care for you.

The honour of the throne that awaits me
fades beside the prize of your company.

With this kingdom and with you,
I will be led by the same thing:

devotion.

I have heard people talking
about the Spanish gallantry.

The Spaniards, we are not
flatterers, my lady.

Just incapable of keeping
back what we think.

They are unacceptable!
You will not use your position

to give prebends
if it is not for an Englishman.

Neither to involve this kingdom
in the Emperor's or your own conflicts.

And if you become a widower, this island
will owe you nothing but respect.

Do you think that anyone of my rank
would make do with being husband?

My lord,
the English Parliament

has accepted our union
only under these conditions!

They fear that
if you had more power,

- my kingdom would be subjected by Spain.
- My inheritence is colossal!

I will not subject England,
but neither will it subject me!

I will not sign!

I curse the day
when I obeyed my father!

- I should be in Lisbon.
- Forget about that.

The Portuguese Infanta was
humiliated by this pact

and would never
accept you again.

What is the benefit if this sacrifice
if I get nothing with it?

You have power
even if it is not written.

Ever since I showed her your portrait,
she is infatuated with you.

Are you asking me to behave like females?
To gain my influence in the bed?

Forgive my fury.

You are...

incapable of keeping back
what you think.

And as such, I am telling you
I don't like the conditions.

But I like the cancellation
of this union even less.

25 July 1554

Be gentle.

Don't worry.

Until I ask you
to stop being gentle.

I am glad to share
this joy with you!

Philip and his wife has made England
return to the obedience of Rome.

Something that nobody
believed possible.

Maybe being his father has impeded me
to see what a great man he is.

Does he not seem to you
capable of anything?

No.
He does not.

Did Ferdinand
say that to you?

I see his anger
has not given in a trifle.

Neither do you give up your endeavor
to elevate Philip only.

Have you not thought about that it could be
dangerous for him if everything is put in his hands?

There is no powerful man
who lacks enemies.

If the man is too powerful,
that is the only thing he will have.

Is this the future
you want for your son?

You should prefer that
he governs in peace.

Without generating hatred
and with his family's support.

The price of that support
is very high.

For someone who will already have
too many adversaries, it is quite worth it.

Don't be silly.

This remedy is
keeping you alive.

Please.

I want to go
so that others could rest.

Let me be generous
with my people.

The Queen needs
your assistance, father.

You have to get ready for
your meeting with God, Your Highness.

It is the moment to rid
your soul from all sins.

I am not going
to confess, father.

My lady, the Almighty
is calling for you.

You cannot leave this world
risking eternal condemnation.

I wish for nothing
but meeting husband again.

Something tells me it is not
heaven where he went.

It is your duty as a Christian
to strike the balances.

I am not obligated to
give God any explanation.

It is Him
who owes me that.

For the existence
He made me suffer.

Your Highness...

Daughter...

Let all Castile know
that their queen is dead.

It is my command to convoke you on the day
25th of October of this year of the Lord,

not giving you option
to refuse or postpone

the fulfillment of this will
which is order.

On this date, I expect
all of you without fail.

Here,
by my side.

You will stay in England
during my absence.

I would not like the Queen to hear only
those who likes me a little in the kingdom.

Don't worry,
Your Highness.

I hope Flanders brings
only good news for you.

My lord!

You have not given me
the date of your return.

If I knew what I will face
I could guess how long it will take.

- It will be as soon as possible, in any case.
- I hope it will be so.

Because someone will have
to take care of me

and the heir
who grows in me.

It is great news,
my lady!

This kingdom will have thus
future far from the heresy.

I will com back soon
to be with you.

Congratulations,
Your Highness.

Know that Portugal has
taken as an offense

the breaking off of
your engagement with my daughter.

And it has caused me
deep pain.

No one has suffered more than you
that the Crown decides

which marriage is
appropriate for us.

- So I am applying for your understanding.
- Their Royal Highnesses,

Maximilian
and Mary of Austria!

How dare you present yourself
in this court? Retrace your steps

- if you don't want to be arrested as a traitor.
- Brother, please...

It would be treason to disobey
the Emperor' order.

Philip,
I am glad to see you.

So am I, since I thought
I would be welcomed by a hangman.

That is how it should be, if my father
preferred justice to family.

Her Royal Highness,
Doña Mary of Hungary!

At least your father had the decency
of not showing himself.

It has not been the decency
that has kept him back.

- But that his brother has none of it.
- Enough! For God's sake!

It is time.

I want to tell you some
thing from my own mouth.

A short time ago, in Castile
my mother died,

who, too long ago,

gave birth to me
between these walls.

Her generousity made me
govern that kingdom

at the age
of 17.

Then,

and being still
a youngster,

I was given
the honor of the Empire.

At the same time, I hade to rule
Flanders, Naples and Sicily

and the oversea lands.

My life has been
one long journey,

which has not only consumed
this body of mine,

but also rived often
my most beloved companies from me.

My cildren's
company...

and my wife's,

to whom I would have liked
to give all of my days.

It was not only duty
what called me.

For my torment and that of my domains,
so did wars.

I always battled obligated,
to defend myself from the ambition of others.

From those who I thought would have
to be my only one enemy, the Turks,

and from that punishment-made king
who was Francis to me.

Besides, I had to fight against the outbreak
of the heresy in the very Empire,

a danger I have not been able
to ease the way I have wanted.

But none of these things was more painful
to me neither saddened me so much

than that I feel now
that I am leaving you.

I have no strength any more
to govern the states that God gave me.

And the little I have left
will run out soon.

Being
so tired now,

I cannot do you
any services

the way those will
who receive my legacy:

my son Philip,

whom I bequeath
Spain, Flanders,

the Italian lands
and those of the Indies.

And the Empire...

The Empire will remain
in my brother Ferdinand's hands,

whom I would have liked to look
in the eyes when I give it to him.

I know he will govern it with the same
brightness with which he has ruled it,

with the happiness of having
his most loyal ally in my son,

to whom he will know
how to return it.

Though there are
many enemies,

the power of that union,
and only this,

will succeed in
defeating them.

And know
I am leaving you.

Thank you for your services and I trust
you could forgive me my mistakes.

Soon I will leave for Spain
to never come back.

Stay to God,
children,

because in my soul
I keep you determined.

You lied to me!

As I knew, England has been an exile
to take the Empire away from me!

One day you will thank me
for having deprived you of it!

You would not want for yourself the burden
my brother and his son will have to bear.

It is the greatest grandeur
of the Christendom!

It is a punishment!

Expenses,

heresy,

betrayals,

wars...

And its future seems to be even darker
than it has been so far.

You are my firstborn son.

Nothing is more important
to me than you.

What else do I have to do
so that you understand?

Forgive me.

Forgive me,
Father.

You get the jewels
of my Crown:

the loyal Spain,
that treasury which the Indies are,

Italy
with its influence,

and the rich lands
where I was born.

I do not only want to
bequeath you honours,

but also, and above all,
lessons.

That ruling the Empire is torment
is one of them.

The loyalty of the family,
is the most valuable.

You will be the new great master
of the Order of the Golden Fleece.

You know
its principles.

Nobleness, valor
and faith.

Who could fulfill their virtues better
than someone who already possesses them?

The man who has done the miracle of
drawing England out of its heresy.

And who now looks after
its future,

thanks to the heir
they expect.

You are incapable
of disappointing me.

I go calmly

because I leave what is mine
in the best hands.

I will go and visit you
in your resort as soon as I can.

I know, by experience,
the work that waits for you.

You will not have time
to waste in a monastery.

Don't worry.

I will be fine.

Calm, finally.

Father...

I cannot say goodbye
to you just yet.

You are my pride.

Now, yes.

You are the legitimate
emperor.

And as such, you can choose
your worthy successor.

Your brother will soon
retire to Castile.

I was told to ask you to visit him
before his departure.

He wishes to say
goodbye to you.

No!

What sets you
against him now?

Father,
the Empire is ours now.

You are right.

But what is broken

is broken.

The circle that strangled
France will be history.

The Emperor's abdication
is a victory.

Fool! Everything has remained
in the same family's hands!

A family that
doesn't behave as such.

I recommend you, in fact,
to make friends with Philip.

Your Highness, you are both
the new branches of your lineage.

What if you tried
to live in peace?

Peace?

- For some time.
- Who knows?

Maybe you get
used to it

and to the tranquillity and prosperity
that it could procure to France.

Count on me as mediator.
Nothing would please me more

than plastering a wound
I have seen bleeding so much.

Do it!

You have done
the correct thing, Father.

And what if Philip doesn't
accept this concord?

I have to think out a maneuver
if that case happens.

Like what?

Like asking
the new pope

if he gave me his support
to invade Naples.

- My lord!
- I promised you I would come back soon.

My heart has made the days of
your absence become years.

I have felt
the same way.

Your Highness.

Tell me. What did
the Emperor want from you?

That who left as king of England
is returnin as king of Spain as well.

What are you
saying?

My father abdicated.

He has named me master
of his best domains.

Best?

He bequeathed the Empire
to my uncle.

I am sorry, my lord.
I know how much you wanted it.

I prefer celebrating what I got,
which is a lot,

to suffer
because of that loss.

Without intention, yours words
are comfort for me.

The happines of having you
by my side mitigates the pain

because of the loss
of our child.

My lady,

I am sorry for not being by your side
in such difficult moments.

I trust God will not delay
in blessing my womb again.

It will be so.

I don't doubt it.

Your Highness!

You have lost no child.
There has never been any.

What are you saying?

Are you suggesting that
the Queen faked her state?

The physicians gave belief that
the symptons were that of the pregnancy,

but it never came.

His mother...

My aunt Catherine
had only her.

Her womb seemed
to be cursed.

What if my wife has
inherited her illness?

It is too soon
to know that.

The Queen has known no man but you
and you two have been married for a short time.

But,
given her age,

and her blood...

If anything bad happened to her,
the Crown would get into her sister's hands.

And, with her,
to the Protestants.

Let us trust that
such a thing will not happen.

A king
doesn't trust,

he acts.

Should you not keep
abstinence for 40 days?

It was a loss,
not childbirth.

Besides, the sooner we do for
having that heir the better.

You should consider the posibility
that your half-sister succeeds you.

Don't even mention her! She my father's
and that Boleyn bitch's daughter!

Fruit of my mother's disgrace
and my disgrace!

If you don't become a mother,
she will reign after you.

I ask you to set the future of your kingdom
and your faith above the rancor.

Who should I do that?

I will be able to give you children.
Believe me. I will!

Make her marry a Catholic and promise her
the succession if she gives up her heresy.

Never!

- My lord...
- Your footman, rather!

Because you do not only deny me the command
but you also despise my opinions.

You insult me!

No...

Don't say that.

I...
I love you.

Love is not just enjoy in bed
and have someone to dance with in parties.

Love, my lady,
is also sacrifice.

It is my will

that the King of England,
here present,

should enjoy the privileges
and rights he deserves by his title.

He has to have power
for nominations.

His signature will be inescapable for
the approval of laws and amendments.

And there will be no question of council
which does not go through him.

And when,
of your union,

an heir is born

my husband will dispose,
until their age of 15,

of their custody

and that of
the kingdom.

That is how
I order

and that is how
it will happen.

In the first place, I would like to
felicitate you on the honors you have now.

I trust that it has been your father's
generousity and not poor health

- that made him resign.
- Do you worry about his welfare

those who has put so many
efforts to damage it?

Denying the past is as absurd as
condemning ourselves to repeat it.

That is why my lord offers you
an agreement of friendship for the future.

French friendship?

I didn't know that
such a thing exists.

Because only my family's
enemies have enjoyed it.

And not in faraway times.

It has been quite little time
since your king took Metz away from my father.

As you surely know, my lord
bore the Emperor a grudge

for the captivity to which
he submitted him during his childhood.

An understandable aversion,
after such hard times.

But, in justice, you are
innoccent of that sin.

The wounds have
to cicatrize.

For everyone's sake.

The peace France would
be beneficial, my lord.

The Christians, we have to
be one against the heresy.

We should not have other mission
except that victory.

The torment your kingdom
has caused to my father

- is difficult to forget.
- Do you want that suffering for yourself, perhaps,

when we give you the opportunity
so that it never occurs again?

Your Highness,

concord.

Can you believe it,
Montmorency?

The new pope is more hostile
to the Habsburgs than my own father.

Neither he praises Philip for making
England return to the subjection of Rome

nor reproaches me for
my alliance with the Protestants.

Invadiing his Italian territories?
Ignore such siren songs!

They are too beautiful
to be disregarded.

Your Highness, the agreement I got for you
will be very beneficial for France!

It will have Spain, Flanders
and England as allies.

I have always reigned
without their favour.

Why would I
miss it now?

Because, if you don't keep
the sealed thigns with Philip,

he will make you pay for not only the invasion
of Italy but also the deception.

You will renew an old hatred which will
bring only war and ruin for to France

My lord!
France has invaded Naples.

Have we not got an answer
from my brother today either?

My soul hurts for leaving
without seeing him one last time.

The one who has offered his hand
should not suffer if he sees it is not taken.

Although...

If you wish we can postpone
our travel to Spain.

Prepare everything.
We are leaving.

Your carriage is waiting,
Your Majesty.

It will have
to wait.

I have to say
goodbye.

Was the passage pleasant,
Your Majesty?

Exhausting.

But I will not have to cross
another port expect that of death.

Castile celebrates
your return.

Many people wish to present their respect
before you leave for Yuste.

And great homages have been
prepared in your honour.

Thank those who are entitled to that
but they will have to be cancelled.

Now nothing obligates me
to endure present or bows

- or prattles of any illustrious person.
- Brother...

And save me
any government affairs, please.

Why should I deal with them
now that I am nobody?

Nobody!

Monastery if Yuste

Stop!

Down!

Left!

Stop!

Next time...
This war has to
settle your reign.

What you do in it will decide how they will
look at you in the years that have to come.

It is from
the portuguese court.

God has taken home
the King, our lord.

When do we expect
my grandson's visit?

I have only one petition to you.
That Eleanor doesn't come to live in Portugal.

I made the Coucil understand that
the war against France is our war, too.

I am going to
be a soldier.

Anyone can be a soldier. But if what you want is commanding
an army, it is not enough if you play with a lath.

- Intercede one more time.
- I granted your request.

- I cannot do more.
- You are the Emperor!

Why have you
called me?

We will not attack what Henry conquered.
We will invade France itself.

Leave us.
Go!

This child you think so highly of
can be very valuable for oru family.

Now nothing
can be done.

The King has to
go to Paris.

We will take...

Calais.

The battle continues.

And you will be
in it.

Queens of England,
what kind of curse do we have?

I wish to get to know
our sister Catherine.

Your Highness. A large French contingent is
nearing Saint-Quentin to break our siege.

Lose this battle
and you will lose it all.
