Candespina

Candespina is the seventh episode in the series.

Plot synopsis
All out warfare has erupted between Leon-Castile and Aragon. Gomez tells Urraca that he feels compelled to fight, but she tries to stop him, convinced that it is only because of his feelings for her, and not out of loyalty to his kingdom.

Meanwhile, the Battler, eager to claim a new and powerful ally, joins with Henry of Burgundy. The combined forces attack a village, and Teresa sends a letter to Urraca, recommending that she surrenders before there is more bloodshed.

With the new alliance of enemies forged, Urraca goes to Gomez and tells him that he must fight, not for his kingdom, but for her. She promises him that they will truly be together if he returns, then sends Gomez to Candespina.

The battle is incredibly bloody. The Battler and Gomez fight on the battlefield, but Henry ultimately delivers the final blow, killing Gomez. The battle is lost, and the Leon-Castile morale hits a low point.

Urraca is joined by Gonzales, and the two mourn the loss of Gomez. Gonzalez tells Urraca that he desperately wants more power, but that he has no loyalties strong enough to make him enter such a dangerous war. Urraca begins to ask how many men he could raise to battle if he was given a reason to fight, and he tells her that it would be a significant amount. With Urraca attracted to his assets, and Gonzalez attracted to her influence, the two begin to sleep together.

The episode ends with Urraca telling Gonzalez that she is pregnant with his child, and that now he has a reason to fight in her war.
