Inês de Castro
Inês de Castro is one of the most tragic and romantic figures in Portuguese history. A Galician noblewoman, she arrived in Portugal as a lady-in-waiting to Princess Constanza of Castile but soon captured the heart of Dom Pedro, heir to the Portuguese throne. Their love defied convention, scandalizing the court and creating political tensions.
Even after Constanza’s death, King Afonso IV opposed the relationship, fearing Castilian influence through Inês’s powerful family. In a fateful and brutal decision, Inês was executed in 1355 by order of the king, while Dom Pedro was away. Her death provoked the prince’s fury and led to open rebellion against his father.
When Dom Pedro became king, he declared that he had secretly married Inês, making her Queen of Portugal posthumously. According to legend, he exhumed her body, placed her on the throne in royal robes, and forced the court to pay her homage — a haunting image that lives on in Portuguese folklore.
She was buried in the Monastery of Alcobaça, where her tomb lies opposite Dom Pedro’s, so that — as legend says — “they may look upon each other until the end of time.”
