Notes for Ines de Castro
Antonio Muniz Leite alegaba ser descendiente de Pedro I de Portugal y Doña Ines de Castro
“Com D.Inês Pires de Castro (*1309 ou 10 + 1355), dez anos mais velha que ele, teve: Afonso que morreu criança; João duque de Valença, que foi pai de D.Fernando de Eça , por sua vez, pai de Catarina de Eça que casou-se com Pedro Gomes de Abreu neto; Dinis e Brites”
Mas quem sabe somos mesmo descendentes de Inês de Castro, coroada em Alcobaça em 1357, depois de morta, com os nobres a beijarem a sua mao (ou o que restou dela)? Duvido muito, mas isso pelo menos nos serve para rever esta grande historia e reler Camoes!

Inez was buried at Alcobaca with extraordinary magnificence, in a tomb of white marble, surmounted by her crowned statue; and near her sepulchre Pedro caused his own to be placed. The monument, after repeatediy resisting the violence of curiosity, was broken into in 1810 by the French soldiery; the statue was mutilated, and the yellow hair was cut from the broken skeleton, to be preserved in reliquaries and blown away by the wind. The children of Inez shared her habit of misfortune. From her brother, however, Alvaro Perez de Castro, the reigning house of Portugal directly descends.

Inês de Castro belonged to a powerful family from Galiza, and was descendent of Sancho IV, the king of Castile. She was also connected to the Albuquerque family. Afonso Sanchez (bastard son of Dom Diniz, King of Portugal), hated by Dom Afonso IV was married with the Albuquerque castle's owner. This lady was seen as a mother by D. Inês because she had raised her. This will be the first cause of hate between Afonso IV and D. Inês de Castro.
In 1350 began in Castile a revolt of the great lords against Pedro I of Spain. The leader of this rebellion was João Afonso de Albuquerque, son of Afonso Sanches and therefore a sort of adoptive brother of D. Inês. He certainly used his influence on Inês in order to get D. Pedro, who had an affair with her, involved in the castilian civil wars. His attempt to influence D. Pedro was so strong that in 1354 João Afonso sent to Portugal a brother of D. Inês to convince D. Pedro to claim for himself the throne of Castile (D. Pedro was the grandson of Sancho IV). D. Pedro refused this because his father was strongly against it.
In order to stop him, D. Afonso IV ordered the death of Inês de Castro when D. Pedro was absent. The executioners were Álvaro Gonçalves, Diogo Lopes Pacheco and Pedro Coelho, men acting under the king's protection.
Hurt by his father's verdict, D. Pedro rebelled and for several months his troops swept the country in such a way that Oporto was under siege. As soon as D. Pedro became King and in spite of his promises of forgiveness, he captured the assassins of D. Inês who had before escaped to Castile in order to avoid his fury. One of them managed to escape but two were captured, tortured and executed. D. Pedro took the heart of one of them through the back and from the other he took the heart through the chest. In 1360 the King announced that he had married Inês secretly and, on that occasion, he gave the order for their graves to be built in the monument of Alcobaça, where he too was buried.

Coimbra is known as the place of the passion between Pedro and Inês. It was here that they met for the first time. The "saudosos campos do Mondego" (Fountain of Loves) and "Fonte dos Amores" (Love fountain) would have been the scenery for they forbidden encounters. After the death of D. Constança, Pedro and Inês became to live in the Royal Palace, near Santa Clara-a-Velha. It was here that their three sons were born: D. Pedro, D. Dinis and D. Beatriz. It was also here (or very near) that was executed the order that condemned D. Inês. The tradition says that this tragedy took place in "Fonte das Lágrimas" (The Fountain of the Tears).

Notes for Pedro I (Spouse 1)
D. PEDRO I "O JUSTICEIRO" ou "O CRÚ" DE PORTUGAL
Filho de Afonso IV de Portugal (1291-1357) e de D.Brites de Castela . Nasceu em Coimbra (1320). Oitavo Rei de Portugal ( de 1357 até 1367 ).
Casou-se com D.Constança Manoel e com ela teve: D.Maria Infanta de Aragão e D.Fernando I (1345-1383) que foi rei de Portugal e marido de D.Leonor Teles.
Com D.Inês Pires de Castro (*1309 ou 10 + 1355), dez anos mais velha que ele, teve: Afonso que morreu criança; João duque de Valença, que foi pai de D.Fernando de Eça , por sua vez, pai de Catarina de Eça que casou-se com Pedro Gomes de Abreu neto; Dinis e Brites.
Pedro, depois da morte de seu pai contra quem revoltou-se em armas por ele ter mandado matar Ines no Convento de Santa Clara em Coimbra, fê-la desenterrar. Jurou perante a corte ter casado com ela um ano antes dela ser assassinada (históricamente sua afirmativa é contestada por muitos), coroou-a Rainha e forçou a côrte vir beijar-lhe a mão. E, em cortejo de muitos e muitos quilometros até o Convento de Alcobaça em Leiria, num sarcófago adrede preparado enterrou-a, a vinte e cinco de abril de 1361.
Ela foi assassinada dia 7 de janeiro de 1355, seis anos antes. Pedro se encontra enterrado ao lado de Ines.
D. Pedro. "O Crú" e também "O Justiceiro" era sujeito a crises de furia (daí, talvez, sua alcunha: O Crú). Certa vez arrancou a sotaina do bispo do Porto e deu-lhe uma surra de chicote.
Matou seu maior amigo e quando da vingança pela morte de D. Ines, mandou arrancar o coração de um de seus matadores pelas costas e do outro pelo peito, estando eles ainda vivos.

La actitud de Pedro con los asesinos de Ines, es sin embargo el unico acto por el cual le apodaron El Cruel, ya que segun el Diccionario Enciclopedico Hispano Americano de 1891:
“todo su reinado, por el contrario, fue una prueba de su caracter dulce y benevolo. De los tres Pedros que a la sazon reinaban en España: en Castilla, Aragon y Portugal, conocidos todos en la historia con el sobrenombre de Crueles, el que menos dio ocasion y motivo de merecerlo fue el portugues... Protegio el elemento popular cuantas veces pudo hacerlo y reprimio con grande energia los desmanes de la nobleza... Los grandes y el clero le apodaron El Cruel, el pueblo, con mas razon, le llamo El Justiciero.”
