King Henry Tudor : Well, who would you have, Harry?
Prince Harry Tudor : Princess Catherine. She's not with chikd, and the alliance must be...
Queen Elizabeth : Harry, you must wed a maid. You know that.
Prince Harry Tudor : She didn't lie with Arthur so she is intact. Arthur couldn't do his duty by her. Father I would like to marry her. England is in turmoil, and this will see of any challengers to the throne.
King Henry Tudor : You and your sense of duty warms me.

Prince Harry Tudor : Princess Catherine. Your loss has endeared you to the people. They share your grief.
Catherine of Aragon : They didn't know him.

Prince Harry Tudor : Princess Summertime. You're the only sunshine round here. Bit soft, really, so... Don't tell Charlie.
Catherine of Aragon : I was hoping I might see you. I wanted you to have something of Arthur's.
Prince Harry Tudor : It's fine work. Thank you.
Catherine of Aragon : My mother herself never uses a crossbow. She cannot bolt it.
Prince Harry Tudor : I should expect not. She's just a woman.
Catherine of Aragon : She cannot bolt it on horseback, and she likes to ride into battle.
Prince Harry Tudor : What?
Catherine of Aragon : My mother fought a battle while I was in her womb.
Prince Harry Tudor : Wild women in your country. They wail in public, and they fight in battle? It's unnatural. My lady grandmother says that the wise woman finds strength within her God-given role.
Catherine of Aragon : My mother's role is God-given. She's anointed by the pope. Her weapon is her horse. He's an Andalusian stallion, 16 hands with white socks. he can break a man's neck with one kick.
Prince Harry Tudor : I want one. I'd ride it straight into France.
Catherine of Aragon : My mother is also skillful with a sword, and she taught me well.

Margaret Beaufort : This sword is blunt.
Prince Harry Tudor : They both are. We wouldn't want you cutting yourself.
Catherine of Aragon : Oh, I could still hurt you with this. You may have swords and spears, but you can conquer nothing without mosquetes.
Prince Harry Tudor : Mosquetes?
Catherine of Aragon : And cannons.
Prince Harry Tudor : Well, we have cannons. Have cannons.
Catherine of Aragon : The city wallls of Granada crumbled under cannon fire. The Moorish sultan wept as he left.
Prince Harry Tudor : Weeping like a woman for what he couldn't defend like a man.
Catherine of Aragon : Weeping like a Moor who sees he is not fighting on the side of God.
Prince Harry Tudor : What, have you had enough, Princess Summertime?
Catherine of Aragon : You fight almost like a real soldier.
Prince Harry Tudor : I am every inch the soldier... And commander. And I have my own idead about our military forces. I'm going to have a foundry that makes impenetrable armor.
Catherine of Aragon : Oh, all armor has weak spots. Here. Here. Here.
Margaret Beaufort : What this is display? You dare swordplay with the Tudor heir?
Catherine of Aragon : Eh, is that...
Prince Harry Tudor : Uh... I think she's talking about me.
Margaret Beaufort : I mean both of you.
Prince Harry Tudor : Well, it was only in fun.
Margaret Beaufort : You are not to blame. It's natural for a young man to caper. You, put that down, and come with me. And would somebody take this thing to the menagerie, where it belongs? Come along.

Prince Harry Tudor : Hello again. I hope my lady grandmother didn't speak too harshly to you. She's not used to, well, girls like you.
Catherine of Aragon : I do not grieve as they expect, and then I feel that I am wrong for being as I am.
Prince Harry Tudor : I feel the same. I'll teach you how to play my grandmother, but you will teach me...
Catherine of Aragon : Sword fighting?
Prince Harry Tudor : No. I am much better at that than you, and I always will be. No, um, you will teach me... I'll think of something.
Catherine of Aragon : I will sleep. You may tell me in the morning.

Margaret Beaufort : I knew Arthur's death would affect you the most, darling boy. The soul of a poet is easily bruised, but it will heal with time. You will make an excellent Prince of Wales. And you have another brother on the way. Does that not soothe you a little? Does that cheer you, hmm?
Prince Harry Tudor : Catherine. Did you know her mother has a horse that can kill a man with a single kick? Break his neck clean.

Prince Harry Tudor : Hello.
Catherine of Aragon : I was at prayer.
Prince Harry Tudor : And I'll wager that you were praying for a boy.
Catherine of Aragon : But I am always praying for a boy, our blessed Lord, Jesus Christ. Today, I watched a flock of birds flying home in a giant V shape in the sky, swifts. They migrate here from Spain to mate and I must follow them.
Prince Harry Tudor : I don't want you to go.
Catherine of Aragon : My mother is already planning my next marriage, though in God's eyes it will be my first marriage.
Prince Harry Tudor : Your first? How so?
Catherine of Aragon : I- I won't speak against your late brother.
Prince Harry Tudor : What do you mean? Did... Wait. Did he do something to you?
Catherine of Aragon : No. Arthur didn't do anything at all. Because he... Because he couldn't.
Prince Harry Tudor : Oh, poor old Arthur. I always thought he was a rose petal.
Catherine of Aragon : No, I do not want to shame him.
Prince Harry Tudor : No, no, you haven't and you're not.
Catherine of Aragon : It's not his fault. I simply wanted you to know before I journey back to Spain.
Prince Harry Tudor : But don't you see? If you are still a maid, then, Catherine, I can be your husband. You may marry the prince that you wrote love letters to all along. Will you have me?
Catherine of Aragon : I... Harry, I...
Prince Harry Tudor : No, Catherine, I will raise you up, you... you and all of England. You will be my princess and... and my queen.
Catherine of Aragon : Harry, is it possible?
Prince Harry Tudor : I will tell my father that he must get permission from the Pope, and then we will be married.
