| Trivia | A Catalan surprise--this picture was shot in Barcelona and its surroundings. Laurentia's royal palace is actually the Palau Reial de Pedralbes and the statue of Queen Isabel II is in front of the Palau showing the people the King-to-be Alfonso XII in her arms; the big fountain at the palace gardens is in fact farther on, located at the Ciutadella park, and the exterior of the "cathedral" where the royal wedding takes place is in reality Sitges' coastal village humble church of Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla.

| Crazy Credits | Opening card: "Guarded by immemorial mountain peaks, gaunt and forbidding, the stronghold of the storm, Laurentia is a country of strange contrasts - the tenderness of romance, the venom of intrigue - and here, beneath these bastions of rock, we lay our story." See more » |

Richard, King of Laurentia:
