The story begins with the sack of Cadiz in 1596 in which Clotaldo, one of the English captains, kidnaps a Spanish girl and takes her back to his country. Clotaldo and his wife, secret catholics, raise the girl, Isabela, in the faith of her parents, teaching her the English language and customs, but also tutoring her in Spanish. As the girl grows older, Ricaredo, son of Clotaldo, falls in love with the beautiful Isabela and obtains the blessing of his parents to marry her. However, the queen of England intervenes to demand the young man to prove himself worthy of the young woman.
