Synopsis:
Based on Schiller’s dramatic play, this is a tale of three generations of Spanish royalty. Don Carlos, Infante of Spain, is in love with the French princess Elisabeth de Valois. But to promote peace between Spain and France, Elisabeth is forced to marry King Philip, Don Carlos’s father. Don Carlos confides in his friend Rodrigo, Marquis of Posa, who suggests that he leave Spain to go to Flanders. Suspecting his son and his wife have consummated their feelings for one another, Philip orders Rodrigo to observe them. Torn between his feelings for his son and his duty to the church, Philip eventually hands his son over to the Inquisition; but before Carlos is taken away, the ghost of his grandfather, Emperor Charles V, appears and leads him to safety.
