INÊS DE CASTRO
Inês de Castro (c. 1325–1355) was a Galician noblewoman who became the secret lover of Portuguese prince Peter (later King Peter I); after her murder on the orders of King Afonso IV, Peter's rise to the throne led him to have her body exhumed, crowned, and given a royal funeral, making her story one of Portugal's most famous tragic romances.
