Description Set in Spain in 1567-8, at the height of Spain’s colonial power, King Philip the Second struggles to deal with the unrest of his subjects in the Netherlands. His son Don Carlos returns to Spain full of philosophical ideas that were spreading throughout Europe at the time, eager to change the ridged, religious and ritualised country of his birth. Although his passion to change Spain is strong, he attends to two other pressing issues first; stop a slaughter in the Netherlands and to woo the woman who holds his heart, his stepmother Queen Elisabeth of Spain. The story is rich with court intrigue
