Integridad: Member<\/h2>\n

In 1328, Peter\u2019s<\/a> father, Afonso IV arranged for the marriage of his eldest daughter, Maria, to Alfonso XI of Castile. In 1334, she bore him a son, who ultimately became Peter of Castile. However, Maria returned home to her father in Portugal in 1335 because her royal husband soon after their marriage had begun a long affair with the beautiful and newly widowed Leonor de Guzman, which the Castilian king refused to end. Alfonso\u2019s cousin, Juan Manuel, Prince of Villena, had been rebuffed by the Castilian king in 1327 when the two-year child marriage between his daughter Constanza (granddaughter of James II of Aragon) and Alfonso had been annulled to clear the way for the marriage to Maria. For two years Juan Manuel had waged war against the Castilians, who had kept Constanza hostage, until Bishop John del Campo of Oviedo mediated a peace in 1329.<\/p>\n

Enraged by Alfonso\u2019s infidelity and mistreatment of his lawful wife, her father made a new alliance with the powerful Castilian aristocrat. Afonso married his son and heir, Peter, to Constanza, thereby allying himself with Juan Manuel. When Constanza arrived in Portugal in 1340, In\u00eas de Castro, the beautiful and aristocratic daughter of a prominent Galicianfamily (with links albeit through illegitimacy, to the Portuguese and Castilian royal families), accompanied her as her lady-in-waiting.<\/p>\n

Peter soon fell in love with In\u00eas, and the two conducted a long love affair that lasted until In\u00eas\u2019s murder in 1355. Constanza died in 1345, weeks after giving birth to Fernando, who eventually became the first of Peter\u2019s sons to succeed him as king of Portugal. The scandal of Peter\u2019s affair with In\u00eas, and its political ramifications, caused Afonso to banish In\u00eas from court after Constanza died. Peter refused to marry any of the princesses his father suggested as a second wife; and the king refused to allow his son to marry In\u00eas as Peter wanted. The two aristocratic lovers began living together in secret. According to the chronicle of Fern\u00e3o Lopes, during this period, Peter began giving In\u00eas\u2019s brothers, exiles from the Castilian court, important positions in Portugal and they became the heir-apparent\u2019s closest advisors. This alarmed Afonso. He worried that upon his death, civil war could tear the country apart, or the Portuguese throne would fall into Castilian hands, either as Juan Manuel fought to avenge his daughter\u2019s honor, or the de Castro brothers supported their sister. Peter claimed that he had married In\u00eas against his father\u2019s orders. In any event, in 1355, Afonso sent three men to find In\u00eas at the Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Velha in Coimbra, where she was detained, and they decapitated her in front of one of her young children. Enraged, Peter revolted against his father. Afonso defeated his son within a year, but died shortly thereafter, and Peter succeeded to the throne in 1357. The love affair and father-son conflict inspired more than twenty operas and many writers, including: the Portuguese national epic Os Lus\u00edadas by Lu\u00eds de Cam\u00f5es, the Spanish \u201cNise lastimosa\u201d and \u201cNise laureada\u201d (1577) by Jer\u00f3nimo Berm\u00fadez and \u2018Reinar despues de morir\u2019 by Lu\u00eds V\u00e9lez de Guevara, as well as \u201cInez de Castro\u201d by Mary Russell Mitford and Henry de Montherlant\u2019s French drama La Reine morte.<\/i><\/p>\n

It was after after the loss In\u00eas he was approached by his grandmother Elizabeth, who told him about Vampires, and told him she was sure\u00a0In\u00eas was Peter\u2019s Mate.<\/p>\n

He agreed to be Turned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
