Pírez talk about Inés de Castro is a bit macabre story at some point. It is an episode that took place first in Spain, Portugal and then so here we position ourselves in the middle of the fourteenth century. Pírez Inés de Castro was born in Spain in 1320, was the daughter of the English nobleman Pedro Fernandez de Castro and his wife, a Portuguese woman named Beatrice, who was the favorite niece of Denis King of Portugal then I "the industrious."
tell that Agnes was very beautiful. Agnes was the best education, spoke perfect beat, the francjs, and Hebrew, and wrote poems. Agnes was besieged by countless kids who loved her as a wife, but the truth is it was not intended to be the spouse of any noble, and the knights were driven from their surroundings by his father, the aforementioned Pedro Fernandez de Castro. One day he told Agnes that she was selected to travel to Portugal as a lady's companion of her cousin Constanza de Castilla was going to marry Pedro, heir to the Portuguese throne and son of King Alfonso IV "el bravo". Denis
I Said "the laborious" had already died when Agnes was five. Chronic account before emigrating to Portugal as a gypsy lady-read the hand of Agnes, and burst into tears. The gypsy Inez begged him not to leave because he hoped und estin horrible. But Agnes, of course, Pod1 not contradict the decision of their elders nothing more than the prediction of a gypsy, and started walking. In 1340 Agnes arrived with her cousin Constanza to Portugal and there something happened that came to complicate everything. As we know Constance was going to marry Pedro, the heir, but Agnes saw Peter and fell in love. Parce was taking a soup when I saw for the first time. Peter was a tall, handsome. And she was so struck by the beauty of the future consort of his cousin, who jumped over the boiling soup. The prince offered his help, Agnes ran out of shame.
say that Constance is engaged to Peter, he realized that his cousin was in love, also noted that Peter looked at Agnes with enthusiasm, but the affection that premiums had avoided any conflict. Finally, there
marriage between Constance and Peter, had two children, but in the second parity Constance died. Prince Peter's match did not last. Just days after the deaths of Constance Pedro and Ines became lovers. With such enthusiasm that in four years had four children. But then came a conflict Pedro's father, King Alfonso "el bravo", he feared that the prince in his love depart from the succession to the children who had tebido to Constance, who were certainly legitimate children. English relatives feared that Agnes had influence over the government of Portugal when Peter became king, in order ... political concerns. Alfonso
so happened that "the brave", the father of Peter in complicity with the eldest son Peter had had with Constance, whose name was Fernando, plotted the death of Agnes. Then hired three gunmen in the year 1355. The names of the killers are these (I have no fear to the complaint): Pedro Cohelo (paronym confundirel not Paul, who is guilty but other crimes), Diego Lopez Pacheco, and Alvaro Gonzalez. These three men went to Coimbra, where he was installed Inés and stabbed to death. When Peter found the corpse of his lover went mad with grief and anger, and then confessed that he was a mere concubine that had been killed, but a lawful wife and that he said had been secretly married immediately after Constance's death. Angry
Peter, who was prince of Portugal, took up arms and organized a rebellion against his father, speaking the queen (mother of Peter) and avoided the war, got a peace rather precarious. In 1357 overwhelmed by guilt and the hatred that showed his son King Alfonso died, and Peter took the throne as Peter I. His initial steps, which were of revenge, made to be given the name of Peter "the stern" and Peter "the cruel." It happened that the murderers of Ines had taken refuge in Castile. Unfortunately for those thugs had taken refuge in Portugal a Castilian king's enemies, which coincidentally also named Peter, and he also said "the cruel." Then there was an exchange of unwanted and slaughter- Agnes came into the hands of Peter, which of course gave them a suitably horrific death.
Peter was a bitter man who missed his beloved so that cuaqndo was crowned (and here the macabre aspect of this story) had his servants exhumed the corpse of Agnes, which launched perfumes, who dressed in rich robes, he placed the royal ring, and he put a wreath to the ceremony.
says the chronicle, "the king sat on his throne, taking his right to the throne of Dona Ines, the courtiers were passing one by one before the corpse and kissed her hand. A great silence pervaded the room, not daring to look up all the noble king and swore allegiance to religious and respect for the dead queen. Peter watched the parade
guessing some movement of rejection in courtiers but fear the vengeance of Peter was of such magnitude that no one evaded the kiss to the deceased. Although Peter was delivered after a licentious life (ie after the reburial of his beloved), never managed to forget. Shortly before his death Peter asked to be buried alongside her in the monastery of Alcobaça. Today, this tomb is the object of pilgrimage for lovers. "Agnes" was the last word spoken by King Pedro who died after running ten years, when he was thirty-seven.
