Homage To A Corpse
King Alfonso IV of Portugal was always known for his stern ways and when his son, Peter I of Portugal, fell in love with Inês Pires de Castro, he rejected the relationship and ordered three of his henchmen to murder her. When Peter I took the throne after his father’s death two years later, he executed the henchmen and crowned the corpse of his former lover as his queen. His subjects were made to pay homage to the queen.
