bregma: The story of Inês de Castro (1325-1355) and King of Portugal D. Pedro I (1320-1367) is one of the most haunting in European history. Pedro met Inês in 1340 when she was a lady in waiting to Pedro’s new bride. Pedro, heir to the throne, fell in love with her – ignoring his new wife for the caress of the beautiful Inês. This caused concern in the court, since she came from a powerful Castilian family. Pedro’s father, King D. Afonso IV, ran out of patience when Pedro’s wife died in 1349, and Pedro took Inês as his common law wife. The king ordered that Inês be murdered. Three assassins beheaded her in the secluded gardens in Coimbra. In deep grief, Pedro turned on his father and launched Portugal into civil war. King Afonso soon died of a broken heart and in 1387 Pedro became the eighth king of Portugal. He declared that Inês was the queen of Portugal, though she had been dead for two years. Pedro ordered her body exhumed and had her coronated at the great abbey at Alcobaça, where the royal court kissed her hand and swore their allegiance to her as queen. Pedro hunted down two of men who had killed Inês and killed them with his own hands. The third, upon hearing what had befallen the others, dropped dead. The tale of Inês and Pedro is immortalized in verse and theater in many languages, in fact almost two dozen operas have been written about it.  Image: Karl Briullov. Death of Inessa de Castro. (1834)
