The Rains of Galicia

The Rains of Galicia is the fourth episode in the series.

Plot synopsis
With plans for Urraca's marriage to the Battler underway, reports continue to arrive about Galician revolts against the Aragonese. There is tension throughout the kingdom, and many members of court come to Urraca to express their displeasure at her following her father's plan.

Many people begin to arrive for the wedding, including Diego Gelmirez, the bishop of Compostela. He congratulates Urraca on her marriage, the first to do so, and pledges her loyalty and support for the kingdom. Gomez, who is still bitter about Urraca's marriage, warns her that Gelmirez is not to be trusted.

Count Pedro Fróilaz de Traba also arrives with Raimundez, whom he is guardian of. Initially, Urraca believes he will support her, but he warns that she is ruining both her son and her kingdom by marrying an Aragon.

Urraca is talked into signing a pact with the Battler, saying that they will rule the other's kingdom if their spouse dies, and that any child of theirs would rule both kingdoms. The other members of court chastise her.

Following the wedding, the Battler refuses to consummate the marriage with Urraca. She asks if he has ever been with a woman, and he responds that a warrior should be with men, not women who can offer him nothing. They argue over the court's opinion of him, and the Battler pushes Urraca. She leaves and runs to Gomez, crying about the mistake she has made and cursing her father.
