"The Spanish Princess" on Starz

My wife and I are watching the 6th episode called "A Polite Kidnapping". This is somewhat historical as Catherine of Aragon and young prince Henry VIII I think at some point get married in this one. So, Catherine of Aragon is King Henry VIII first wife. He is also the father of Queen Elizabeth I of the time of Shakespeare and Francis Bacon too. Henry the VII is on the throne and Princess Meg I believe was married off to the Scottish King. Catherine of Aragon is a Spanish Princess and daughter of Queen Isabella of I believe "Columbus" fame as well in Spain.
