Upon her arrival in rain-lashed England, she is accompanied by her glorious and diverse court, which includes her ladies-in-waiting, Lina and Rosa. While she arrives with a powerful alliance with Spain, her position is complicated by the sudden death of her husband. This unexpected loss makes the English throne appear lost to Catherine.
