King of Spain Afonso married his son and heir, Peter, to Constanza, daughter of James II of Aragon. When Constanza arrived in Portugal in 1340, In\u00eas de Castro, the beautiful and aristocratic daughter of a prominent Galician family, accompanied her as her lady-in-waiting. Future king soon fell in love with In\u00eas, and the two conducted a long love affair that lasted until In\u00eas’s murder in 1355. The scandal of Peter’s affair with In\u00eas, and its political ramifications, caused Afonso to banish In\u00eas from court. Peter refused to marry any of the princesses his father suggested as a second wife; and the king refused to allow his son to marry In\u00eas as Peter wanted. The two aristocratic lovers began living together in secret. Peter later claimed that he had married In\u00eas against his father’s orders. In any event, in 1355, Afonso sent three men to find In\u00eas at the Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Velha in Coimbra, where she was detained, and they decapitated her in front of one of her young children. Enraged, Peter revolted against his father. Afonso defeated his son within a year, but died shortly thereafter, and Peter succeeded to the throne in 1357. The love affair and father-son conflict inspired more than twenty operas and many writers. In\u00eas’ assassins received his harshest punishment: the three had escaped to Castile, but Peter arranged for them to be exchanged for Castilian fugitives residing in Portugal with his nephew, Peter of Castile. The Portuguese king conducted a public trial of P\u00earo Coelho and \u00c1lvaro Gon\u00e7alves in 1361. After finding them guilty of Ines’ murder, the king ripped their hearts out with his own hands, according to Lopes, because of what they had done to his own heart. Diogo Lopes Pacheco escaped and died in 1383. According to legend, Peter later had In\u00eas’ body exhumed and placed upon a throne, dressed in rich robes and jewels, and required all of his vassals to kiss the hand of the deceased queen. Peter did have In\u00eas’ body removed from her resting place in Coimbra and taken to Alcoba\u00e7a where it was reburied in the royal monastery. Peter had two tombs constructed, one for each of them, so they would see each other when rising at the Last Judgment. The tombs show Peter and In\u00eas facing each other, with the words “At\u00e9 o fim do mundo…” (“Until the end of the world…”) inscribed on the marble.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":514,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33,92],"tags":[108,107,109,93,110],"class_list":["post-513","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-europe","category-portugal","tag-alcobaca","tag-batalha","tag-gothic","tag-portugal","tag-unesco"],"aioseo_notices":[],"geo":{"latitude":39.6587448,"longitude":-8.8249626,"description":"Batalha, Leiria, 2440-107, PT"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dfoto.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/DSC_6449.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dfoto.pl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dfoto.pl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dfoto.pl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dfoto.pl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dfoto.pl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=513"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dfoto.pl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":543,"href":"https:\/\/dfoto.pl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513\/revisions\/543"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dfoto.pl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/514"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dfoto.pl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dfoto.pl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=513"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dfoto.pl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
