- TriviaBefore Javier Olivares joined, the project had little historical accuracy and gave more importance to romance. Gonzalo de Córdoba had an unhistorical sexual relationship with Isabel before her marriage, and the first season ended with her wedding to Fernando in 1469. Olivares pushed for more politics, gave more importance to the character of Isabel's mentor, Gonzalo Chacón, and set the finale in 1474, with Isabel's coronation.
- GoofsThough set in the late 15th century, ruling monarchs are given the treatment "Majesty" through the series. No monarch, in Spain or elsewhere, received this treatment before 1517, when it was invented by Charles V upon his election as Holy Roman Emperor (Charles had already been treated as "Royal Highness" as King in Spain and though that he deserved something that ranked above that once he was Emperor; other monarchs adopted the treatment for themselves later).

Featured review
Great series that spans 1474 to 1504 with flashbacks to earlier periods.
I only have two minusses:
1. Although mostly accurate too bad the series unnecessarily diverts from histiorical facts. Fact: on 13 December 1474 Isabella was proclaimed Queen of Castile and León. Because her brother had named Isabella as his successor, when she ascended to the throne in 1474, there were already several plots against her.
2. The series isn't available with subtitles other than Spanish/Castellano. Not sure if the makers ran out of cash so they couln't pay translators or that they were sure no-one in the non-hispanic world would be interested in this great piece of history. It's a shame and a great loss.

- Then why does the series act like there is no formal successor?
