In the entire movie we could see a little girl next to Felipe II, the King of Spain. She was his daughter. What is the importance about the little daughter of Felipe II in the movie? Was she only a secondary character or was she waiting to become the next England's queen?
The name of his daughter was Isabel Clara Eugenia and in the movie we saw that she was a little kid, but actually by that time she had to be like twenty or twenty five years old.
ReplyDeleteI think that the importance of his daughter in this movie is the director wants to show the plan of Felipe II that when Spain defeated Queen Elizabeth and England, he would make her the new Queen of England.
Oh! thanks Astrid! I knew about the intentions of the Spain's King, but I didn't know about Isabel's age. Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteyou're welcome dear classmate. This is a piece of information that i'd found on internet, i hope that this could answer your question :DD

ReplyDeleteHowever, Isabel Clara Eugenia has not settled for the disaster that engulfed Spain, thanks to the decisions of his father.
ReplyDeleteShe had an incestuous marriage, which helped her to be awarded the Government of the Netherlands for a long time, also had to cope to the Eighty Years' War.
I believe that in the film, her they exhibited as a "kid" to plot in a better way the level of menace, which Elizabeth I was submited. Only think about that: The presence of a "kid" doing threatening the future power of Virgin Queen.
