The Crowning of Ines of Castro in 1361 Pierre Charles Comte 1823-1895 France French
According to legend, in the mid-14th century a heart-broken King Peter (Pedro) I of Portugal exhumed the corpse of his lover to have her posthumously crowned queen. The romantic scandals of European royalty could fill a library so it can be difficult to find a story of a torrid liaison that stands out. But the tale of the coronation of Inês de Castro , the Corpse Queen of Portugal, is difficult to forget.
