“Don Pedro, son of Alphonso, King of Portugal, privately married the beautiful Inez de Castro. On this becoming known to the king, he endeavoured to annul the marriage, but failing to obtain the co-operation of the parties, Don Pedro was imprisoned, and Inez savagely butchered. When Pedro at last came to the throne, he punished with death all who were in any way connected with his wife's death, and, disinterring his late wife, he had her crowned with him as queen.”
