At first glance, I thought there were TIE fighters in the background, and I was really confused as to why Star Wars had to do with this post... Needless to say, I really need to get some sleep.
ok people time for a short history class: D. Pedro was married to Constança of Spain but he never loved her, instead he loved her companion Inês de Castro, a bastard daughter. The Castro family was a powerful spanish family and the portuguese king, Afonso IV, didn´t want this family to compromise the portuguese independence. When Constança died, Pedro asked the pope to marry Inês: we don´t know the pope`s answer but, even if he was against it, D. Pedro started to live with Inês and with their three kids as a normal family. During this time a war started in Spain and the Castro were involved. Inês asked Pedro if he could help them. For political reasons, D. Afonso, while his son was away, decided to kill Inês and even her children, with the help of 3 other men. Inês begged the king to spare her children, which he did, but she still ended murdered in a painful way: they slit her throat and she bled to death.
When D. Pedro came back to Portugal, he was furious. He killed the men who were responsible and even burned their hometowns. He made the rest of his father days a living hell. He even declared Inês to be a queen after her death. They are now resting together in Mosteiro the Alcobaça: their tombs are really beautiful so check them out! they are not in the same tomb though: D. Pedro wanted them to be separeted but in front of one another, this way, when they resurrect, once they get up, the first thing they´ll see is each other. It´s a very beautiful love story but quite sad.
The woman in this story was then post- humously named Queen in order to legitimize her children. The King had her body re buried in a gorgeous tomb to reflect her station and the procession between her old burial place and the new was said to have been lit by thousands of candles so that darkness would not be able to touch her. The woman has been called "the Corpse- princess" and Stuff you Missed in History Class did a Valentine's episode about her.
Maybe...
Yea I would have
