Downton Abbey's entire premise hinges on an unexpected inheritance, and that's what brings most of the drama in The Spanish Princess. Catherine of Aragon, the titular princess from Spain, is probably best known to history as the first wife of Henry VIII. Here, she's just a young princess, brought to England to marry Arthur Tudor, first in line to the throne. When tragedy strikes soon after her arrival, she's left alone but determined to fend off the warring factions, both in England and in Spain, who would stand between her and her destiny as queen. Mary Crawley would be proud!
