it's an interesting point that marrying into the house of Castile would strangely bring Yorkist Edward IV s claim up higher as the House of Castile was related to Lancasters... but it has always been my belief that the Yorkists were way ahead of Lancasters as Edward IV grandmother Anne Mortimer was descended from Lionel, the TRUE YORK CLAIM came from their relation to Anne Mortimer who had the strongest claim. Lionel, House of Clarence was brother #2 John of Gaunt, Lancaster, brother #3 Edmund , York, brother #4 people do not discuss House of Clarence and Lionel, very much because he died age 30-32 before he could produce a male heir died somewhat freakishly suddenly at his wedding in Italy and his descendants lost his title Duke of Clarence somewhat disgracefully because he had no male heirs ... Anne Mortimer, is descended from Lionel's only child daughter Philippa and that is why Edward IV really should have won War of the Roses. and Henry Tudor could never have successfully succeeded the Yorkists without marriage to Elizabeth of York, Edward s daughter who is also descendant of both Lionel, second son to King Edward III, but of the last Welsh kings, which according to legends which both english and welsh believed, makes one the true heir

@@alxces contrarily the stereotype in the US is that Spanish people are all dark haired, dark eyed, and swarthy. There is no acceptance of the germanic visigothic origins of the northern kingdoms. They would cast a bunch of latino looking characters to playnthe roles like Maria Doyle Kennedy was used as Katherine of Aragorn in The Tudors when we know that KoA was red headed. The bigger reason to not want to see it is that it will almost certainly either depict Isabel and the reconquists as unjustified and evil OR be heavily criticized and panned and banned to a 3rd rate channel. ETA that in Spanish Princess they REALLY go to great lengths to trash this family. At least we have 2 seasons of El Cid so far.

15:00-15:04 Am I the only one who got Cleopatra vibes? The accompanying artwork combined with the narration was fantastic, got a real feel for Isabella's life and the precarious position she found herself in. Imagine being in your mid teens, being almost the sole cause of a civil war, failing to get married thrice, making a potential enemy of one brother and finding the other dead in his sleep, and to top it off now having an elephant sized target painted on your back. A lesser (wo)man would've cracked under the immense pressure and decided to take the easy way out.

If Isabella would have married either Edward IV or Richard III, maybe Henry Tudor dies at the Battle of Bosworth Field. Maybe with Spanish assistance. Think about a timeline where the Tudor line of kings never happen. The Anglican Church never splits with the Catholic Church. The Spanish Armada never attacks in 1588. Now, that's something
