Like any young man, Louis is about to experience great changes. He is married to an unknown cousin and is to inherit the throne of Spain. In the middle of the 18th century, this would be a happy episode in the life of any prince, but things are not going to be easy for Louis. With a rebellious wife, an alienated father and a conspiring stepmother, Louis I has to begin his reign. Luckily for him, the problems will soon end.

Charting the life of Isabella I of Castile, one of the most important women in Spain’s history, Isabel follows her passionate story from childhood to being crowned Queen. From her political struggles within King Henry IV's court to her wedding to Ferdinand of Aragon, the drama encapsulates the passions, emotions and sacrifices of a woman who refused to just be a figurehead and whose outlook was ahead of her time.
