Beatriz is shocked to learn that her father has given her hand in marriage without even consulting her. Meanwhile, the King decides to use another wedding to end the country's civil war: Isabel's.

The civil war in Castile comes to its most decisive point as the armies of Enrique and Alfonso face each other in Olmedo. In Segovia, the Queen prays for her husband and Isabel for her younger brother.

Hearing good news from Rome, Enrique makes his new move by blockading Valladolid. With no food for the winter, the people's support for Isabel and Fernando vanishes. Fernando also grows sick of Carrillo's meddling.

After their recent loss, Carrillo advices Isabel to continue the war and Chacón to seek peace. Enrique finds betrayal in a place he didn't expect. Chacón worries as Gonzalo and Isabel compare their feelings for each other.

Isabel and Enrique debate peace terms at Guisando. King Juan II of Aragon, seeking Castilian support against France, sends his emissary Peralta to negotiate the marriage of his heir Fernando - to Juan Pacheco's daughter.

Isabel debates her marriage options. Her supporters want her to marry Fernando, and Enrique, the King of France's brother. Pacheco and the King count as an advantage that the devout princess won't lie to them.

Isabel's decision to take the Crown while Fernando is in Aragon angers him, a division that Carrillo is eager to use. Meanwhile, Diego Pacheco seeks support from Portugal and the nobles to dethrone Isabel in favor of Juana.

It's time to visit Aragon to nominate Prince Juan as heir to the kingdom, but this is the least of Isabel and Fernando's problems. Granada invades Zahara, Catalonia is divided and the royals must face their most dangerous pregnancy yet.

Fernando lays siege to Malaga, El Zagal's stronghold and richest city in Granada, while the Muslims appeal to their brethren outside Europe. Isabel receives the two queens of Granada.

Lead by Marquis Juan Pacheco and Archbishop Carrillo, several nobles rebel against the King under trumped-up charges. Enrique's supporters extort him to act, but he is unwilling to display violence.

King Juan convinces the new Pope to sign the bull authorizing Isabel and Fernando's marriage. Rome's envoy, Cardinal Borgia, also must propose a new Castilian cardinal - a position that Carrillo and Pedro Mendoza strive for.

Fernando besieges Burgos while the Portuguese try to send a relief column to the rebels. Meanwhile, Isabel balances the conflicting interests of the Aristocracy, the Church and the Jews to finance the war.

Isabel debates showing mercy to the rebels when the new bread tax causes an uprising in Segovia. Chacón ponders retirement. Juana feels imprisoned during her husband's absence and seeks solace in her stepson, the Prince of Portugal.

The ultimatum to Boabdil expires. Isabel and Fernando decide on the future of Granada, the Jews, the dispute with France and Columbus' enterprise.

When Queen Juana is finally pregnant after 7 years of marriage, King Enrique IV orders that his half-siblings Isabel and Alfonso be brought from their home in Arevalo to the decadent Royal Court of Castile in Segovia.

The war bogs down as the nobles of Spain prefer to pursue their own interests before the Crown's, but a stroke of luck might tip the balance in the fight between Christians and Muslims. In Portugal, the king seeks to reinforce his position.

Fernando makes his authority in Aragon clear. Isabel receives a foreign sailor with a bold proposal. El Zagal rallies all Muslims to make common front against the Christians.
