Ovo je serija čiji su protagonisti pripadnici tri monoteističke religije koje žive zajedno i bore se za moć na Iberijskom poluostrvu: hrišćani, muslimani i Jevreji. To je priča puna akcije, intriga i ljubavi, sa tadašnjom kastiljanskom prestonicom u pozadini, koja nas vodi u drugu polovinu 13. veka, u period koji se podudara sa usponom grada i upoznaje sa ljudima koji su u njemu živeli, bežali i skrivali se među njegovim zidinama. Na severu su Asturija, Kastilja i Leon, hrišćanske kraljevine koje su pokrenule Rekonkistu, na jugu muslimanske kraljevine Kordoba i Granada. U centralnom delu poluostrva se vodi borba oko strateški važnog i moćnog grada Toleda, koji kasnije postaje prestonica Kastilje.
Four kings from the House of Stuart sat on the English throne from 1603 to 1688. It was a time of great religious struggle and political instability. The Gunpowder Plot nearly wiped out King James I. The Thirty Years War broke out on the continent. A civil war erupted which led to the public beheading of King Charles I and the birth of a commonwealth headed by Oliver Cromwell. London was ravaged by the plague and the Great Fire of London. Throughout this series we look at the reign of the Stuarts through the powerful Wynn family at Gwydir Castle in North Wales, one of the best time capsules from that era. The story of the Wynn family reflects the turbulent history of this Stuart era. They had close connections with this new royal house and their status would rise and fall with the successes and failures of Stuart rule.
