About this video
Inês de Castro: murdered royal mistress — then, in chronicle and legend, a court forced to honor a corpse. Love, succession, and revenge that rewrote a kingdom. In this video: • Murder of a royal mistress • Succession politics behind the crime • The corpse-crowning legend vs the record • How revenge rewrote Portuguese power What you'll leave with: romance myth separated from the political file. Educational history. Legend marked where chronicles and later legend diverge. #royals #history #portugal #scandal Subscribe to Palace File for royal scandals the court tried to bury.
