Maria Enriquez de Luna´s bedroom

When my brother in law Cesar Borgia married with Carlota of Albret, cousin of the King of Navarre, I moved to Navarre.Navarre was a small country, but very nice, I decided to settle down there and to live in court.I wanted to begin a new life ...

A servant came in the room and brought her a letter from England

My dear senora Maria,
I have been in Bavaria to attend my cousin's Eleanor coronation. It has been a great event and it made me proud. I'm just coming back to England to take care of Queen's cause. I miss your company too and I hope to see you soon in England. I trust your journey in Navarre is enjoyable. Hope to kiss you again

Con Mucho Amor
Inigo Lopez de Mendoza
