When Pedro I [April 19, 1320-January 18, 1367] became King of Portugal in 1357, he had the body of Inês Pérez de Castro [1325-January 7, 1355] exhumed and ordered the court to swear allegiance to her as Queen of Portugal. Pedro claimed that Inês was lawfully the Queen of Portugal because he secretly had married her after the death of his wife, Constance of Castile in 1345. They were married secretly because of opposition from Pedro's father, King Afonso IV [February 8, 1291-May 28, 1357]. Ultimately King Afonso IV arranged for Inês' murder at the Monastery of Santa Clara [Mosteiro de Santa Clara] in Coimbra.
Two of the most notable examples of the peacemaking abilities of St. Elizabeth of Portugal [Santa Isabel de Portugal, 1271 - July 4, 1336] involved her family.1. When her son, Afonso [King Afonso IV, February 8, 1291 - May 28, 1357], declared war on his father in 1323 for perceived favoritism of Afonso's illegitimate half-brother, AfonsoSanches, Elizabeth was able to reconcile them.2. Peacemaking was one of Elizabeth's final deeds and caused her death from a fever. After her husband's death on January 7, 1325, Elizabeth retired to the Convent of the Poor Clares [known today as the Monastery of Santa Clara, Mosteiro de Santa Clara] that she had founded at Coimbra in central Portugal in 1314.But in 1336 her son, King Afonso IV, led his troops to Estremoz Castle in the Alentejo Region in southern Portugal to battle his son-in-law, King Alfonso XI of Castile [August 13, 1311 - March 26/27, 1350], for his unfaithfulness to Afonso IV's sister, Maria.At age 65, Elizabeth left the convent to travel around 155 miles [255 kilometers] to Estremoz. She succeeded in bringing peace between her son and her grandson-in-law. But the exertion proved too much for her. She succumbed to a fever while staying at Estremoz Castle.
