The Bishop

The Bishop is the fifth episode in the series.

Plot synopsis
Tensions over Urraca's marriage continue to escalate and several battles are shown. Urraca is informed that de Traba has officially rebelled against her, and is going to attempt a coup with her own son. Frantically, Urraca sends the knight Arias to intervene.

Arias goes to Diego Gelmirez and convinces him to assist in quelling the rebellion. Gelmirez, who admits that he is currently not seeing eye to eye with de Traba, agrees, but is clear that he is not doing so out of reverence for Urraca.

de Traba goes to Portugal and begins talks with Henry and Teresa about the internal strife of Leon-Castile. They discuss potentially working together, and de Traba takes over a fortress near the border where he stows away Raimundez.

Arias and his troops begin to besiege the fortress in a battle. When de Traba can no longer hold the fort, he requests that Gelmirez be brought in to negotiate surrender. However, instead, he talks Gelmirez into joining with him to gain control of the heir to the throne. Suspicious of Gelmirez's motives, Arias arrests both de Traba and Gelmirez.

Urraca arrives to check on Raimundez, intending to decide punishment for de Traba and Gelmirez. However, the two swear fealty to her and her son, promising their eternal loyalty. She appears to accept their oath, allowing both to be free and throw a ceremony in honor of Raimundez one day becoming the king.

During the ceremony, as Raimundez is being crowned, a voice over of Urraca describes how she needs to find a way to take her son back, because she fears he will be turned against her.
