Netflix’s The Queen and the Conqueror Cast
This is the story of Catalina (played by Essined Aponte), the indigenous woman who gave away her soul, her heart and her life to a conqueror. “The Queen and the Conqueror” rebuilds one of the first love stories that took place in America, between an indigenous woman and a Spaniard. After establishing the city of Cartagena, Pedro de Heredia (played by Emmanuel Esparza), motivated by the need to save his brother, betrays Catalina. Heartbroken, she escapes, only to come back 18 years later, as a grown woman. In her soul, her only mission is: revenge. To end Pedro de Heredia’s life, the same way that he, after making her fall for him, ended hers.
That is the story behind Netflix’s series “The Queen and the Conqueror“.
