		While being a queen consort is very different from being the wife of an elected official, the two women discussed here, Elizabeth Cromwell, wife of Oliver, and Catherine of Braganza, wife of Charles II, were similarly parts of package deals, already married or betrothed to their husbands when those men rose to power.

		Catherine of Braganza speaks swathes of untranslated Spanish, which is brave at peak-time, but correct because the point of view in the scene is Charles's and he has no idea what she's saying.
