All language subtitles for Isabel S03E04 - Atracción fatal (1080p BluRay x265 HEVC 10bit AAC Vertag)

Don Cristopher left on an expedition
more than three months ago.

And there has been no word
from him since then.

I put my word on this.

I will not betray the admiral if
I don't know if he's alive or dead.

Cardinal Mendoza is dead.

I can't be Toledo's archbishop.

Cardinal Mendoza himself requested
that you be his successor.

I want the king of France

to publicly recognize me as the pope

the king of Rome and the vicar
of Christ on this Earth.

Tell the Royal Guard

to go after him and bring
him to me immediately.

I will put my the destiny of
my children in your hands.

Let the sacrifice they are making
be for the sake of Castile and Aragon.

Tell the ambassador about
my engagement to Juana.

All of you, who are the children of kings

are destined to seal and fortify

the relation of our
kingdoms with our allies.

It is our intention to formalize
your engagement with other royal heirs.

Ferdinand is not the only one
supporting the pope anymore.

We cannot go
against Castile, Aragon

and Maximilian at the same time.

Damn them all!

Ask Fonseca to write the certificates.

I will sign those licenses.

I bring news of the admiral.
He is still alive, thank God.

The queen must know nothing about this.

Don't let anyone tell her about Colombus
before she signs those licenses.

Take those chains off them!

That is not possible.
They are prisoners of war.

No other expedition
shall leave from Castile

before I receive news from the admiral.

Have you taken care of
the red-skinned people?

Yes. They shall be sent to the Canary
Islands and be given their freedom.

Go look for buyers far away from the court,
as I told you. Be discreet.

- Don t worry about that.
- You have never met me.

We have never spoken.

I give the speaking turn to his most
reverend eminence from Busleyden

the archbishop of Besanzon.

Here, through my embodiment,
come before Your Highnesses

Philip of Habsburg.

Laying claim to his wife
and the duchess of Burgundy

from this day forward.

[Flanders.]

Juana of Castile, I take you as my
wife before God and my subjects.

I ask you to give yourself to me.

Your Highnesses, if you please

we shall proceed to the signing
of the contract of this holy matrimony

between your daughter Juana

and son Philip.

Proceed.

What heavy clothes you use in Castile.

I hope the princess is
not as scarred as you.

Be quiet, people.

You must show respect to
my now wife and your duchess.

[Alvor, October 25, 1495.]

Come close, Don Manuel.

You are my heir.

That was God's will when He took
my only legitimate son from me.

My advice to you,
before you wear the crown...

keep exploring the oceans

and keep our alliance with Castile.

Make Portugal

the most important kingdom
in all of Christianity.

Forgive me.

I know how much damage
I have done to your family

but you are good Christians.

Let me leave this world in peace.

Not even one hundred crowns
would pay for our forgiveness.

Mother.

Will you betray the memory
of our dead at this hour?

Listen to me, you wretched man.

The only thing I am sorry about
is not being able to kill you myself.

Get ready to burn in hell
for all eternity.

I will never forget all the blood
that this crown brought to my hands.

I swear to honor my people
and my kingdom.

May God rest the soul
of King Juan.

I don't know if he was a good king,
but he became a good man, no doubt.

Let the dead rest in peace.

Let them.

God is blessing them with a new king
that will be a better ally.

Too soon, to give that for granted.

He owes us a lot.

We received him in our kingdom

when his and his mother's
lives were in danger.

Do you doubt my nephew's intentions?

No, Your Highness. There are,
however, some pending conflicts.

The division of the ocean
has been signed in an agreement.

It is true that we must work
on the agreements in North Africa

but our agreement with Portugal
is protecting our back against France.

There are some minor issues, too.

Like how they're smuggling
the possessions of the Jews in exile.

Those cracks might be a gate
to let the fire into our kingdom.

- What does that mean?
- I mean the menace to our faith

posed by a neighboring kingdom
that is a refuge to heretics and Jews.

To our faith and the economy.

All right. Don Manuel agreed
to marry our daughter Maria.

Let us sign the marriage as soon
as possible and then discuss these issues.

You are right, my lady.

We mustn't give him time to refuse
what he agreed on before being crowned.

- Let's go back. That animal escaped.
- Are you giving up?

We had it in our hands.
Let's keep going.

You are the most stubborn princess
in all of Christianity.

A pity for Philip.

You confuse perseverance with stubbornness.

And your brother-in-law
will have to bear what he gets.

Just like I will have to.

Tell me, do you think
we will love our spouses?

They will love us.

Let us pray that we will have
the same fortune as our parents.

They are living proof of how

God straightens what
people insist on twisting.

You have it better.

If Margaret doesn't love you

you may find comfort in your family

and the people who have
surrounded you all your life.

You fear that your life
in Flanders will be different?

It ha's palaces and people.
Rivers and mountains.

Horses and hunting.

Help!

- Are you all right?
- Yes.

- Are you all right?
- Yes. Don't worry.

- And you?
- Yes.

Thank you.

Do not mention one word
of what just happened here.

Ferrante's death has only made
matters difficult in Naples.

Unfortunately, that is what happens
when a king dies without having children.

His uncle Fadrique is
his closest relative.

If we don't do anything to prevent it,
the pope will give him the crown.

He was a son of a bastard,
so he had very few big rights.

His uncle has even fewer.

His uncle always does his best
to favor the French.

There is no use in Gonzalo's
expelling the French-from Naples

if we allow the crowning of a puppet
who shares their interest.

Are you thinking of
laying claim to that crown?

My rights are unquestionable.

It is time to reunite
the kingdoms of Naples and Sicily.

The pope has the authority to appoint
the king. Will he back you?

We have all the victories on our side.

There is no better time
than this one.

Then give the pope the basis
for your right to do so.

- Do not use the basis of our victories.
- Don't worry.

I don't intend to force him
to give me that crown, as the French did.

So you have been thinking
about this for a while how.

There is no time to waste.

Soon, you will have another crown
to decorate your head.

The queen is cursed.

Another son is lost.

What news do you bring

Another defeat in Italy?

My lord, all is lost on the battlefield.

We still have politics.
Fadrique will do as I tell him.

But first, he must be crowned.

- Ferdinand will try to stop that.
- He won't be able to.

My lord, we have underestimated
his maneuvering before.

We are at a crucial point.

We must be the first to make our move.

And what can I do?
He's always defeating us.

My army is forced to retreat
farther and farther to the north.

We must negotiate with him,
or we'll lose everything we have now.

Negotiate?
Not after so many defeats.

He will demand my surrender.
I would do the same, in his place.

Ferdinand is focusing his
fire power on Italy.

We should attack Roussillon.

That would give us an advantage to go
for a truce and make our demands.

Do what you want.

That is not my main concern
at the moment.

Your Majesty, the physician seems
to know what is wrong with your son.

The heir will get better
within the next few days.

Do not stop your prayers, lady.

Your fate, along that of the kingdom,
depends on the health of that child.

Is it a tradition in Flanders
to undress the bride before the court?

An odd but old tradition
that I was able to endure

knowing that my shame served
to prevent the princess' shame.

What did my husband do?

The duke of Burgundy
finalized the ceremony

by demanding of his people
the respect he shows to you.

I bring a letter for you
written by his hand.

As well as this gift.

Magnificent present.

It must be a sign of
his great respect for you.

Now, my girl, please leave so
we may hear more news from Fuensalida.

Father, do you think that
the duchess of Burgundy

is not fit to hear about her husband
and the lands of her new home?

You are right to remind us what is,
rather than curiosity, your duty.

Please go on, Fuensalida.

Emperor Maximilian was not present.

There is no doubt that his influence
on his son is lower than we would like.

Are there others of greater influence?

The duke seems to be capable,
and he has government experience.

He is well-advised, but
he rules by his own criteria.

There is no better quality for a ruler.

If all his advisers are
like Archbishop Busleyden

we will get along with him.

There is only one shadow
on the picture I've just given.

Just as Maximilian is on our side,
his son, Duke Philip

seems to be very favorable toward
our enemy, the king of France.

Because the French gave
Philip his current domains.

Sooner. Or later,
the duke must learn

that he will not have
a better ally than us.

Nor a more powerful one.

The fleet that will take Juana
to Flanders shall be proof of that.

I cannot believe how much
you have changed.

- Father! Father!
- My son.

- Father!
- My son.

I just arrived.
I wanted to see you first.

I thought...
Everyone thought you were dead.

You too?

I hope you were not misled.

I had my doubts, but I was not convinced.

The court is full of gossip.

The worst thing is that they are
believed by pages and kings alike.

What is that, Father?

The proof

that will shut a lot of mouths.

It's for the queen.

But it is not time for
her to receive it yet.

What's wrong, my girl?

It's the letter
from the duke of Burgundy.

What is it?

The duke demands that
she stop riding horses.

I would find it a lesser burden
to have one of my legs cut. I won't.

He's learned of the princess'
liking for riding

and he wants to ensure her fertility.

- As if I was pregnant already.
- Easy.

Don't you see that it is
only his concern for you?

Marie of Burgundy,
the mother of your husband

was killed when she fell off a horse

leaving him orphaned
at the a very early age.

He only wants to protect you.

Wait until you are with him.

You have will and charm enough

to get his favor and support
in anything you want.

Beatriz is right.

For the-moment,
you have to obey.

You are the duchess consort.

You must not do anything
to risk your marriage.

What do you think your admiral
has brought this time?

Will we be dealing with a procession of

red-skinned people, animals and plants,
but no gold?

Or will he bring something else?

Yes, an explanation.

The admiral of the ocean,
Don Cristopher Colombus.

We are very glad of your safe return.

What do you bring with
you this time, Admiral?

That is a surprise. Maybe something scarce,
but we expected something.

I expected something too, Your Highness.

For you to honor our agreement
and to show your reliability.

What kind of a farce is this,
when you have so much to explain?

My lady, for all your questions
you will get answers.

That is the least we expect. That's
the only thing you are compelled to do.

Get Diego Colombus to saddle my horse.

I will meet him at the stables.

Wait.

Don't tell anyone about what
I just told you to do.

You are giving rise to a revolt.

Our evangelization plans are
going to be ruined. In fact

you are turning the natives
into slaves, not into Christians.

The 500 natives we trapped
were slaved as the prey they are

because they were captured during war.

What war do you speak of?

Since when is Castile in a war
I know nothing about?

What have you done in those lands?

You went to look for gold.

And where is it?
The fruit of all your troubles?

I see now that you lost
your trust in me.

Now I know why you did not
honor our pledge.

How will I trust you?

Anarchy, struggles, and repression.

I did not send you to the other side
of the ocean to do that.

The revolt of the natives

was made worse by
the settlers' disobedience.

I tried to maintain the authority

that you gave me.
What would you have done?

You dare lower me to your level?

No, Your Highness.
You are the queen.

You must be obeyed.

But away from Castile, the men change.

And the laws are broken,
if they are not enforced beforehand.

I accept my mistakes

but I have kept the new lands
under your domain.

We were on the verge of
losing everything, my lady.

Had you gone along with better company

you would have done a lot better.
I'll give you that.

I signed that certificate because
I thought you were dead.

When we found out you were alive

I did not allow any other ship to leave.

What's done is done.
Here and there.

You have my word that
the next expedition will change...

That will have to wait.

Your Highness, we need to leave soon.

- Everything depends on...
- Stop asking.

This is not a good time
for more travels.

Then please let me ask
two things of you.

Establish an entailed estate

for my children to inherit
my titles and benefits.

What is your other request?

I have never seen a female rider
as good as you.

You are more fond of my mare
than of your own horse.

I have always taken care of her.

I use the mount that the equerry
allows me every day

but I will have my own horse before
I leave for my father's domains.

You will travel even farther
than I ever will.

I will take everything
I want with me.

Everything is useful there.

You must adapt to what you find
in the place you arrive to.

But there are no horses in that place.

Nor women worthy of marrying a knight.

It will be difficult for you
to get a wife who will follow you.

No. Love will unite us.

And will move us to be together forever.

She will have to be courageous.

She is. A good amazon, as well.

She is a partner that
has a deep understanding.

You have one already?

Yes, Your Highness.

But she's not a free woman.

Soon she will leave to meet
the man she was betrothed to.

We must go. It's late.

Would you make your loved one

choose between the fate of
Helen of Troy or Queen Gwenevere?

That fate drove them to find love.

Then I pity them.

I pray for the Lord to
protect me from finding such love.

Such love only brings
destruction and misfortune.

The admiral has made a request
that I find to be reasonable.

He wants someone who knows the Indies
firsthand to administer them.

I see the convenience in that, too.

So you shall have the support
of another man on your side.

You find it necessary
for me to be supervised?

- If I've done something wrong...
- Nobody is stripping you of your duty.

I trust you blindly in your diligence.

So being, I could certainly
use a helping hand.

This is a task no clergyman
would undertake if not for his loyalty

and sense of duty.

And for that we are very thankful.

How will we appoint the man
entrusted to that close collaboration?

- It will be Antonio de Torres.
- Oh yes.

Yes. Colombus' secretary.

Very appropriate, indeed.
Very appropriate.

Do not worry, Your Highness.
I will keep him up to date on everything.

My dear aunt.

We deeply regret the loss
that your kingdom has suffered.

I know Your Highnesses
regret King Juan's death

as much as I do.

But a new era is now open for Portugal.

And it is open by way of your son.

So...

despite our current regret...

we are glad for that.

My lord, we will flourish
right at this moment

the friendship between
both of our kingdoms.

As it should be.
It should have never been another way.

King Don Manuel is still young.

He thinks more of the future
than of the past.

So let us speak about the marriage
that will seal our union.

My lord

my son has good reasons to want
this matter to succeed.

But in a different way
than what we had planned.

Does the king of Portugal have
an objection to the proposed union?

None. Only that he wants to betroth
another one of your daughters

Me? Why not my sister Maria,
as it was arranged?

The king of Portugal gave us two reasons

the love that his vassals still feel
for you and because of your age

that will allow you to
give him a heir in no time.

My life is devoted only
to my service to the Lord.

I did as you asked by not taking my vows,
but I won't get married.

You will do as we tell you.

You gave me your word.

You shouldn't have promised something
you weren't sure you could fulfill.

It was necessary,
the lesser of two evils.

And what will you do
to solve this nonsense?

The marriage with Portugal
is essential.

Either the king concedes,
or the princess concedes.

Your Highness, I thank you for

the burden you are
taking off my shoulders.

- What are you talking about?
- The queen...

I thought you were aware

appointed someone else to help me
with the administration of the Indies.

It shall be a relief for me, now that
matters in the Indies are so uncertain.

I only know that the admiral is
turning out to be very expensive.

Did you know that
renowned cartographers

says it's impossible
that he reached Asia?

Where are our ships landing, then?

Maybe in an archipelago
in the middle of the ocean.

So that would be nowhere.
Nothing is to be gained from that.

Nothing, if Colombus keeps
monopolizing all the expeditions.

And I'm afraid his secretary
will ensure it remains so.

What does his secretary have
to do with any of this?

The queen has such high esteem for
the admiral that she is sending his man.

Listen to me, Fonseca.

Your duty is to control Colombus,
not to be controlled by him. Are we clear?

Make sure you do that.
You have my support.

[Rome.]

Things have changed a lot
since the last time I saw you.

Thanks to my lord Ferdinand,
above all.

He released you from imprisonment
at the Castle of Sant'Angelo.

And he expelled the French
from the 32 papal states.

We will always be thankful.

He is undoubtedly your best servant
and ally, and that is an honor to him.

So he sends you now to ask for a reward.

What does he want from Rome?

He wants the crown of Naples.

These documents prove
the legitimacy for my lord

to be crowned king of Naples.

Naples has a king.

You have not crowned him yet.

And what about his rights?
Am I expected to breach them?

Why would His Holiness give Ferdinand
what he denied the king of France?

You have his reasons in your hands.

He is the legitimate heir of
the last legitimate king of Naples.

He should've never given
the crown to a bastard son.

Your king is a Trastamara, a dynasty
known for being originated by a bastard.

Tell the king that we
will consider his request.

Think, Your Majesty, how this would
strengthen your alliance with my king

if you agree to this.

Rome would never
be at risk again.

Will you give him what he wants?

We'must think about this.
Without the French as a counterweight

- we are in Aragon's hands.
- True.

But if you hand Naples to him,
what will be his next request?

You are like a mother to me. Please tell
your son that I won't marry again.

The king has his reasons.

My sister is young, but she is
old enough. Why this determination?

You are the princess of Portugal.

You have always been.

People there have quite
a high esteem for you.

Be aware that Manuel is
the first king of his dynasty.

He is the legitimate heir.
Is someone questioning that?

No, but your marriage is
a sign of continuity.

It will consolidate his reign

and unite all his people
around his crown.

Your son has the crown that
my dear Alfonso should have had.

You want to do the same with
the wife he loved so much?

I cannot go back.
I will not be able to.

The kingdom doesn't know how much pain
you'd endure by reliving your loss.

He and I will help you.

No. My lady.

I have devoted my life to God, and
I won't deviate. I have my mother's word.

Your Highness, you and I know that
the betrothal has been decided.

Deciding on a wedding is one thing.
Making it happen is another.

How did you chose your husband?

My father did that for me.
I just had to obey.

Just like my mother, you were
fortunate it was the right choice.

That's right.

And it will be the same
for Your Highness.

Love and infatuation
are two different things.

If you are not infatuated now

you will, no doubt,
by living with him each day

love him eventually

What if that doesn't happen?

You must try.

You are a woman.

Is it different for a man?

Men tend to look for love
outside of their marriages.

- But women...
- I understand.

I know how many... bastards
walk in this realm of God.

I would never agree to
something of the sort.

However

isn't it true that

there are women who don't
look the other way

when love comes to them?

- Those are loose women.
There are queens among them.

Don't you know the story of Helen and Paris
or Gwenevere and Lancelot?

What kind of ideas are those?

I'm just afraid that
in the matter of love

God has more twisted paths
than in other matters.

Apparently, to a married woman

there is no worse thing than riding

but to do it alone.

But there are things we must
never talk about again.

All right?

Then go for your mount
and come with me.

Your worst menace is not
France anymore.

Containing the Aragonese is as good
for you as it is for my lord.

But by losing the favor
of the king of Aragon

we would be at your mercy.
This matter never ends.

No, Your Holiness.

King Charles thinks it is time
to end this war.

But he is unable to concede
the victory to King Ferdinand.

What do you want to do?

Get King Ferdinand to negotiate
peace with us as equals.

You think that he will acquiesce
if Rome demands that of him?

You don't know him as I do.

My lord is only asking that you
do nothing to strengthen his position.

- For instance?
- Giving him the crown of Naples.

There is no use in laying siege at the
north if he controls the entire south.

Aren't you afraid that we will tell him
what you're saying and take advantage?

No, Holiness.

I know well that you don't want
to be a subject of the Aragonese.

My lord, the French have invaded
Roussillon and are pushing forward.

They took advantage of the fact that
the bulk of our army is in Naples.

- They know they have lost the south.
- But taking this route

they are pushing toward Milan.

They want to conquer Roussillon
because they don't have Naples

or they want us to leave the kingdom
unprotected to take it again?

While Fadrique is in Naples,
we will not have Naples.

- The French always support him.
- I know that.

We need to get that crown.

Cabrera, write to Fuensalida.
The pope must acquiesce to us.

- If he doesn't?
- Gonzalo's troops may persuade him.

Dismiss these men.
I want to talk to you.

Wait outside.

I will accept the betrothal
under one condition.

Your husband will acquiesce
in anything.

This is a condition to make the Lord
happy, and I will happily get married.

Otherwise, nobody may say that
I am evading my duty.

I will marry Manuel only after he's
expelled all the Jews from Portugal.

Your Highness, it is not possible
to comply with that overnight.

I can wait.

And what are the reasons
for your request?

Maybe I lost my husband as punishment
because his kingdom is home to heretics.

I will not disobey the Lord again.

Why this condition if it is your duty
to implant this idea in the king's head?

Just as, I'm afraid, Archbishop Cisneros
implanted his in yours?

So what is good for your kingdom is bad
for the kingdom you want to send me to?

This is just a ploy to evade her duty.

Will you let her?

You know how important
this alliance is to me.

And Castile would benefit from
Maria being available of another.

But she fulfilled her role before.

And'it is true that she had my word.

Now you know the state of things.

Maria is no less a daughter
than Isabel.

The king is adamant.

He will only marry Princess Isabel.

Come in.

My lady, I need to tell you something.

- Tell me.
- It's about Princess Juana.

Let me come with you.

- The princess was forbidden to ride.
- I didn't know.

Do you think it appropriate, as a man,
to go riding with her on your own?

Because I'm a man, I protect her from
dangers she could not face alone.

How can you be so insolent?

You won't go near the princess again.
Do you understand?

Do not worry, lady. Tell the queen
that I will take care of this.

Just like her,
I knew nothing of this.

Are you insane?

You know how delicate my situation is,
and you expose me in this way.

- I have done nothing wrong, Father.
- Nothing that cannot be fixed, I hope.

But Father, I love her.

I love her, and
I don't know how to stop.

You want to ruin your family?

You must suppress thoughts of her.

There are things that nobody
will ever be able to change.

Listen to me.

If you really love her,
you must protect her.

She will soon go to her husband.

You want to tarnish her journey
with gossip, risking her new life?

You must make the sacrifice for her.

Do not see her again.

That's...

that's what a true knight would do.

I'm scared, Mother.

It is the only, and sad,
excuse for my disobedience.

What are you so scared about?

Of being alone

and far away from everything
that I love.

You are going to a strange land,
but you shall never be alone.

You will go with people you trust,
who will serve you and be with you.

Will my husband love me?

You have a part to play
for that to happen.

You are strong and intelligent.

I do not want to mislead you.

You must know that love is not
the main part of such a marriage.

Would you have been able
to live without love?

Everything would have been
a lot more difficult.

But I would have.

Just like you, if you have to.

Because I raised you to
not let go of your dignity

and in the love of God.

You have been very childish.

I don't know if I will ride again

or what other things
I'll be forbidden from doing.

- I just wanted to feel...
- I know.

But I hope you enjoyed this ride
that you just had with me

since it will be the last one
before you leave Castile.

Don't worry.
I won't disobey you.

Senor de Torres

what a fine hour
for God to send you.

Thank you, Monsignor.

I've come to use my experience
for the kings and the admiral.

All right, I will keep you
up to date on everything.

I hope you are almost
ready to relieve me.

Drink this wine.

There's no wine like this
in Castile.

My palate is not used
to a liquid such as this.

One must be ready for everything.

Tell me.

Are those your best robes?

I came here as soon as
I disembarked.

There are things one must take
into consideration here.

One of them is dressing
according to one's rank.

Soon, you shall have an appropriate
wardrobe for your needs.

Jewels, perfumes... You may spend
on those more than a clergyman.

- The kings are very magnanimous.
- They are.

And the queen, regarding Colombus
and his enterprise

spares no expense.

The admiral never said so to me.

In certain matters,
you must be discreet, too.

No doubt, my friend,
today you are starting a new life.

Much is expected of you,
and for that you must be rewarded.

Tell me, if this task
must be done well

how just will the reward be?

Ask and you shall receive.

- Are you talking for both of us?
- No. My friend, no.

No. Soon, I'll be granted
a more prosperous diocese.

I will retire there,
leaving those matters to you all.

Then your work will be doubled. 69700:46:28,080... > 00:46:31,600
You think of that, when you speak of this to the queen.

Don't worry.

I know you're avoiding me,
but I'll only talk for a moment.

I have a job for you.

My mare is not coming
with me to Flanders.

Why, Your Highness?

You love that animal.

That is why I want you to keep her

and keep taking care of her.

- No. I cannot accept.
- Do it.

I wish to reward you for
your good service to me.

We won't see each other again.

Hope you are very happy
with your wife

in those far away lands.

Even if the whole of France
is between us

know that I will guard you through
the distance, day and night.

No other king is enough

for me to feel the love
you have for me.

You have my blessing,
my dear girl.

Never forget where you come from

or who you are.

We must leave.

Give me the message
from your king.

I must deliver it personally
to His Holiness.

Then you will have to wait
for his return.

Has he left Rome?

May I know where to?

At this time,
he must be in Naples.

How dare the pope crown
Fadrique in Naples.

Is that his reply
to my requirement?

Is that how he rewards us for
taking the French away from him?

The message is clear. He does not
want France to control Europe

but he doesn't want Aragon
to do it, either.

Traitor! Traitor!
Son of a thousand fathers!

Are the French still
laying siege on Roussillon?

Yes, Your Highness.

The treason by Rome has caused
our defeat. We almost had it!

Everything has changed
in a few weeks.

Everything.

But there's no use
in regretting it.

The French don't have
the upper hand

but with Fadrique in Naples and
their siege of Roussillon, neither do we.

There is only one thing left,
my lord.

Cabrera, I will give you my instructions
for Fuensalida.

Don't worry.

I'm leaving with a full heart.

Its heat will keep me warm despite
the cold I may feel in Flanders.

You will always be in
your mother's thoughts.

And in the thoughts of everyone
who loves you here.

My only effort shall be to become
as good a wife and queen as you are.

Then I pray to God that your husband
deserves you and makes you happy.

She shall not lack anything.

I will take good care of her.

I will never see her again.

And after her, her sisters
shall leave too.

To think she is the one who
is afraid of being lonely.

Your Highness,
there's news from Arevalo.

My sister, your wife's mother

is dying.

- And the queen is so far away.
- I will be on my way at once.

I will go with you.
I will go to meet Isabel.

I'm afraid you won't make it
to Arevalo in time.

This is goodbye.

Will go back to Portugal from there.

Won't you wait for my wife?

I've done everything
I could have done here.

The solution is
out of my hands now.

- Juan!
- Son! What's wronq?

I'm just tired.

We must see what
the physician thinks.

[Arévalo, August 15th, 1496]

My sister.

Do you know who I am?

I'm Beatriz.

And you?

Don Gonzalo? My friend.

The queen is on her way.

Please keep your strength.
Your Highness.

My life has been...

longer than it should have been.

I hope death is gracious
enough to get to me soon.

Castile and Portugal

will hopefully build
a link between them.

God willing

one day both of them will be one.

Tell...

my girl...

that my last thought was of her.

Take the news to the king.

If he has not gone through Duenas,
wait for him there.

Otherwise, catch up with him.

I'm afraid that her wish will
be fulfilled very late.

If it is, one day.

Portugal and Castile are
not made to be one.

Even if you strive to marry
your son to the princess

Prince Juan shall be the next
King of Castile and Aragon.

God willing.

But I've lived long enough to know
that nothing is certain.

Least of all,
when a crown is involved.

You know as well as I do how
weak the prince's health is.

Should God decide to call him

wouldn't the marriage of
Princess Isabel to my son

secure the future of our kingdoms?

Castile, Aragon,
and Portugal united.

Do you realize the kingdom
we could make from that?

Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

God willing, Prince Juan
shall reign for many years.

Amen.

But we are rulers.
It is our duty to foresee

so we don't regret
what we could have done.

Princess Isabel must be
the wife of my son

and you agree.

Why didn't you speak clearly
to the queen about this?

She wouldn't have allowed me to.

But you...

She will listen to you.

What's wrong?

My God, tell me

Is it the prince?

- The princes?
- No, my lady.

Nature is letting them live for now,
although your pain will be the same.

It's Queen Isabel. Your mother.

Please hold me tight, Ferdinand.

Let me feel all the love
I still have from my dear ones.

I feel like

all the leaves of my life
are falling one by one.

That is the law of life.

Winter shall come

and both of our trunks shall
be stripped of their leaves.

But they will be together, shielding
each other from the wind and the cold.

[Rome.]

You have just proven to my king that
it is more rewarding to attack you.

Tell King Ferdinand that Don Fadrique's
crowning is not an insult.

Every kingdom needs a king.

And this case you present to the lord
needs to be thought through calmly.

I'm afraid that my lord's reaction

may disturb your calm for
a long time, Your Highness.

Rome will have to face the consequences.

Do you believe him?

We shall see.

You have no idea how grateful
I am for your bringing her last words.

Unfortunately, I also have to tell
you something you won't like.

I apologize in advance.

You can say what you wish.

It will hardly hurt me anymore.

Because of the love I have for you
and what you feel for Castile, I dare

despite the pain that overpowers
you at this time...

What is it?

The motive behind Don Manuel desiring
Princess Isabel instead of Maria.

If... something were to divert
your succession plans

the union between Don Manuel
and the princess

would also be the best
option for Castile.

My lady!
Some of the ships are sinking.

Are you all right, my lady?

What terrible omens does
this travel bring?

What..

What does France ask for giving Salces
back and leaving Roussillon?

First, that your lord halt his ambitions
for the crown of Naples.

And leave it to Fadrique

who allows himself to be yanked
around by France like a dog?

None of our lords
will concede for nothing.

Let us make a truce
and negotiate, then.

Only with one essential condition.

The pope must be left aside.

His Holiness is a nuisance.

That is the only way for us to arrive
to an agreement that will benefit both.

It may not be as complicated as that.

We can see which one of our lords has
a better right to the crown of Naples.

And we can see how to
compensate for giving it up.

I will take your request
to King Charles.

I am convinced that we will
come to an understanding.

[Flanders.]

Please leave.

My lord, I know this
is not the right time

but we must allow Colombus
another expedition.

But why the haste?

I have word about Portugal

launching another expedition to the Indies.

We have wasted precious time.

We cannot allow them
to get ahead of us now.

How true is that information?

They say a man called
Vasco de Gama is in charge.

All right.
Let us see the admiral.

He is with Fonseca in the study.

I can see that you waste no time.

Please excuse my delay.

I am Margarita,
your sister-in-law.

I've learned about your rough travel.

Philip asked me to bring his apologies
to you, but he is unable to be here.

Our grandmother is receiving you
in his name. Duchess Margarita of York.

Welcome to Flanders.

Your Highness?

This is our home now.

Find out where
we'll have our quarters.

Gentlemen.

You must set out on
a new expedition.

Admiral, as you know,
that was not the plan.

You should thank Portugal for that.

Your Highness, isn't there someone
missing from this meeting?

You mean Torres, your secretary?

He let me know his requirements.

They were requirements more fitting
of a pirate, than someone serving a crown.

I will not accept that.
He has stepped aside himself.

You will organize
this trip with Fonseca.

- Are you willing?
- Always at your service, Your Highness.

Tell me! Tell me.

You caused Torres' downfall.

Now I see who my enemy is.

Be calm, Admiral. I am not against you,
but against anything harming the crown.

I will do the impossible
to take your mask away.

The queen will know how her
loyal servants behave themselves.

Do as you see fit

but you'd be better to prop
yourself up than undermine me.

Remember that there is a signed
certificate that ends your monopoly

and it hasn't been revoked.

You are not the only one who has
come and gone from the Indies...

Admiral.

You are not essential anymore.

Don't feel underappreciated.
None of us are.

So France and Aragon
are dealing on my back.

If they reach an agreement, we start
the game over. Only with new rules.

Is it the fight over Naples,
again?

And the fight to divide
the whole of Italy between them.

Anything we do for either side will be
considered an insult by the other.

Let's see if we can undo this alliance.

Forgive my grandmother.
She is from York

and didn't like that your sister Catherine
is betrothed to the son of the king

that took the crown from the English.

And forgive my brother.

Forgive us all.

I thank you for your visit
and your intention.

Soon, I shall go through
what you're living now.

I hope God saves you from
a shipwreck and

allows you to reach Castile
with your clothes intact.

But I will still have to go
to a strange land to meet...

a man.

He will love you as soon
as he meets you.

- Are you sure?
- I know him.

And now that I've met you

I know that he will.

What is the prince like?

Sensitive. Handsome and noble.

He's also a little impatient,
maybe because of my mother, who...

who loves him.

Well, she loves us all.

When you meet your husband,
everything will be different.

Tell me

what is he like?

He is...

Tall. And handsome.

Of quick conversation.

I barely know him.

I was raised in France
to be King Charles's wife.

I came back when he married
Anne of Brittany.

My entire childhood I was
far away from my relatives.

You were fortunate to grow up
with your family.

And now, get some rest.

You must be ready for
the Rose Ceremony.

What ceremony is that?

It's our tradition.
That is how a duke receives his bride

when she comes from elsewhere.

My lady.

Do you give your permission so your
husband seeks the rose of our marriage?

You are so beautiful.

Wait for me tonight.

I want you.

I will not wait to make you mine.

How dare you?

We must receive our blessing first.

Love is not a river
to be channeled.

It is a wild sea that
nobody can tame.

I'm so sorry for the loss
of your sister.

Did you receive my message?

It wouldn't be a good start

accepting such an imperious
condition from the princess.

Do it.

And let Castile dictate
the politics in my kingdom?

What will the nobles think?

Don't you want to expel
the heretics from our kingdom?

Then accept the will
of the princess.

I assure you, there's a great deal
to be gained from that.

Open up, Juana. It's me.

My lady.

I want to apologize.

I was just looking at your beauty,
my lady.

Open up, I beg you.

Juana, are you there?

You are.

My heart feels the presence
that this door wants to hide.

I'm sorry if my words
have offended you.

Don't confuse the feeling
that gave way to them.

Understand your husband, who is lost
in the love he has felt since he met you.

Get some rest.

Get some rest, my dear wife.

I kiss this wooden obstacle
between both of our lips.

Let this be our first lovers' kiss.

The court is worse than
the most dangerous wilderness.

Than the most voracious
storm of the ocean.

You must beware even
of your own shadow.

Do you have what I gave you
upon my arrival?

- Here.
- This is only a sample.

There are plenty more in a bay
only I know how to reach.

They will be our salvation.
Keep them safe.

And don't tell anyone about this.

I won't, Father.

When I leave,
await anything I send you.

But remember, you are alone.
Alone.

Don't trust anyone.

Castile and Christianity shall
owe you a great deal.

Your destiny shall be fulfilled.

You will be the queen of Portugal.

The Holy Father sends me to give you
his condolences for your son's death.

The Holy Father has worn this
since he was made pope.

We wholeheartedly thank
His Holiness, and you

for your courtesy, Reverence.

I will not be reverence for very long,
for I will leave the clergy soon.

The Holy Father has encouraged me
to look for a court that will have me.

A court that is friend to the pope,
which will have an alliance with him.

Well, when you take that step,
France will open its doors to you.

Tell me, Reverence, what has
the Holy Father offered Aragon's court?

'And for his devotion to faith,
the cleansing of heretics in his realm

'I, Alexander VI, give the kings
of the Spanish lands

'the title, from this day on

'of Their Catholic Majesties.

'So the whole world recognizes
their merit and their greatness.'

The Holy Father has elevated us
above the rest of the Christian kings.

I wonder what the very Christian King
of France will think of this honor.

We must admit that His Holiness could not
have chosen a better enemy for that.

Are you unsatisfied?

If the pope thinks that this title
will compensate his treason, he's wrong.

He doesn't want me as his friend,
so I will be his enemy.

Easy, my lord.
I don't like your words.

I will write the pope
to thank him for this title

as he surely expects us to do.

The crown of Naples shall be mine.

And the pope won't be
the one to prevent it.

I swear.

There is nothing to be afraid of.

The princess will serve
her husband before her parents.

Are you so sure she
won't oppose your purpose?

She will have to.

There will be nobody on
her side left to oppose me.

I am Margarita of Habsburg.

Before your court, I happily
declare myself your wife.

Father, the sentinels inform
of an attack on our port

from ships without flags.

Go to Flanders and give her the money.
Tell her that she mustn't be suspicious.

I don't know the customs
in Castile, but here

it is the husband who
controls the family fortune.

How can we take the Word of God
from those who speak such language?

Maybe we should teach them
to speak Castilian.

I don't dare say
that you don't love me

but you have never shown me.

So you are the one who
wants to see the Indians?

I am. Do you know where
any of them ended up?

I wasted all my ducats
on those savages.

What I promised.

Margarita is pregnant.

Since you're Rome's only hope

I beg for your blessing.

How dare Rome hire my captain
without telling me?

You will go to prison
for selling slaves.

Murderer!

Help! Help me!
