:09:01
I want to attend
to my affairs in Italy.
:09:09
Germaine, who was reared at
the effeminate French court,
:09:13
is not adapting to being
the wife of Ferdinand of Aragon.
:09:16
She finds us coarse and austere.
:09:23
I want a son.
:09:26
The doctors say that a woman's
womb can refuse to procreate
:09:29
when there's a lack of affection
around her.
:09:32
They may be right.
:09:41
Also, why should I hide it?
:09:43
My marriage to Germaine
did not please Castile.
:09:46
They accuse me of betraying
Isabella's memory.
:09:53
Tell me aboutJoan.
:10:00
Joan is pregnant again.
She is in good health but is prone
:10:04
to certain obsessions,
to outlandish behavior.
:10:07
Save your excuses.
My daughterJoan is mad.
:10:12
How do you think I should act?
:10:16
You want to exclude her
from government,
:10:19
and I don't object.
:10:21
I have said so
to your father, the emperor.
:10:27
Perhaps you should see her
in Burgos and judge for yourself.
:10:31
No, I don't want to see her
in that state.
:10:34
Moreover, it would be cruel
to confront her with Germaine.
:10:39
But, I admit,
:10:42
it's also unfair to prevent
Germaine from meeting
:10:44
her stepdaughter,
the mad queen of Castile.
:10:47
More wine?
