Joanna of Castile and Philip the Fair's marriage problems (Isabel s03e07)

How different it would have been for both of you if you had been born male. Sign this paper. What is it that you need me to sign? It is the request for an ecclesiastical benefit in Castile for a prelate of Burgundy. Something usual that will reduce the approach of both territories. Being my husband and sovereign, do you need my signature? As you well assume, it is a purely formal matter. Pure courtesy. You know full well that the kings of Spain will not accept any imposition. Are you going to sign yes or no? You have hardly come close to me or your daughter. And suddenly you show up with such a demand. I will not sign. We'll see. When will you visit us again? You must seek a better understanding with your wife. The court does not perceive any benefit in your marriage to the infanta. There are those who murmur that it was a mistake. Wasn't it enough, the dowry? What did they expect? Perhaps a more docile archdiocese, more proclivity to accept the uses of the court. Tell me, what else do you need? A son, Baron. Your distancing from the infanta creates a great problem. You need a heir. Think about your future. Find a way for your union to be pleasant to the court. And to you. It would be easier to change Juana for another, I assure you. Damn wedding and damn my father, what a bad service he did to us, remembering her. I have to win the favor of the court. How could I, if I am not able to retain my husband next to me? You must achieve it. You are infanta and archduchess. Your presence in Flanders responds to demands that have to be met. Deceive yourself. A Spanish woman will never be loved in these lands. Well, be less Spanish, ma'am. They did not educate me to stop being who I am. Nobody asks you for such a thing. No lady equals you here. But many understand as contempt. Do not assimilate their tastes and customs. I assure you that if you manage to win the court, with them you will also win your husband. You must react, Your Highness. Or the archduke may end up returning you to Castile. Never. Then, allow me to help you.
