Not long ago, I read an article about Ines de Castro on the BBC News website and one of the things I thought was that this is a story that would be covered by Forgotten Lives.

Damn dude is crazy

This needs to be a movie!

That what true love is 😍 ,makes my heart warm ❤️👍🙊🙈🙉✌️

Whoa now that's a tragic love story

Thank you for telling this story with such sensitivity and care. Every time I hear about Ines de Castro, it's about how "weird" and "creepy" the story is. People make it into such a joke, but it's actually terribly sad. That poor woman was treated cruelly and her kids must have been traumatized to see her murdered that way. She had no control over the fact that her parents weren't married, and yet she was treated as less than her whole life over something that wasn't her fault.

Will you do Princess/Queen Libuse/Libussa next ? (nudge, nudge wink wink!) She founded Prague and other cities, had a horse that was said to have supernatural abilities, abolished human sacrifice in what was a pagan country, married a farmer because of a prophecy that she should "choose a man that ate dinner at a table made of Iron" (Przemysl or something like that I think his name was he sat eating on his plough) , and died of a strange disease that turned her into wax. I think she was buried with her throne or something like tthat too, but I cant remember clearly).

Hello. Appreciate all the work you do to bring great videos & yourself to us. You've been one of tops best to listen to on my list of narrators, presenters in last 5- 8 years . List of my new best is short. ( 4 ) My older list of days gone by is about 7 . I grew up watching TV. 🙂 So to sum it up, you are one of best. Stay well. Take care of you too . Respectfully. The other 3 many may 👍💯 . But that's a group for seriously sensitive senses weirdos, honest, crude but not cruel types. I know, who cares, I do. You're slipping last couple, get some rest . You don't pull of tired well. Your a nice person. Unless it's stress from YouTube , and it's competivness lately. But you're a sure tops. A week won't hurt you. They ? Just make it seem it will to push. Unless you signed your life away. You're better when up to par. Everyone needs self care breaks , even if you spend it looking up some in known cool obscure stuff. I know some but don't dare speak them here. I've been watching so long, and repeat as I'm very agoraphobic with mdd. I will watch all familiar things only, Even hundreds of times. So you all are very interesting besides your work. I see the person & ups and downs, stress, sickness, worry in some. Maybe just more photos & just voice for however long. And you in person bon some others. Some of you doing this are much more than just your channel ☮️💕

Europeans 🤪🤪🤪🤪

What a tragic story. Some really beautiful images, too. Well done. I'm astonished I've never come across Inés before. Thank you!

Thank you.

Thanks for these great cases ForgottenLives

Thanks you so much for doing this story

Oh my….marrying a corpse. Great story

I love how as a woman you do this and you're called Juana the mad, do it as a dude and you're just another king 🤔

Great work, congrats from Portugal, big is your culture.

OMG imagine being one of the nobles that has to kiss her corpse's dead ass hand? Dear God! Bleh, Also imagine if when you touched the hand to kiss it, the arm fell off from decay or something right in front of the king? OMG! I'm having an anxiety attack just thinking about it.

Great narration as usual.

Congratulations on your 212 k subscribers.

It sounds like he really loved that woman! If there is an afterlife, I hope they got to be together again.

Wow what a bizare story!
Hugs from Sweden

Sad but very romantic. Ines was his true love, marriage or not.

If my husband doesn't exhume my body, sew my head back on after I was brutally beheaded, have my corpse crowned as his Queen despite the fact that I'm dead and take horrible vengeance upon the men who murdered me, then he doesn't really love me and I don't want him 😤😅

Wow congratulations over 212k subscribers. But of course, such great content and educational!!

Around 1970 when I was ten i bought a comic book about the history and the macabre this story was one of them

This was a beautiful and yet tragic love story of Portugal royalty. I really enjoyed your narration, great investigating and presentation, too.

You pronounce so well.

your voice is like salve to a burn

At least they didn’t say Inez wasn’t a suitable bride because she wasn’t a virgin.

Excellent episode Sir, thank you!!!🙏👍👻

Thank you, I had never heard about this! 😁👍🇩🇪

I remember cases of corpses being tried and “executed” for crimes. I think there was a different attitude toward the relationship between and body and the soul than today. There are some interpretations that in the Christian resurrection that you resurrect with your body, but made perfect. I think Peter just wanted everyone to see the terrible thing that was done, since the only undeniable evidence of the day was eye-witness.

Wow talk about tragic. I mean just bury your wife all ready.

Ugh the drama😍

This is sick!

The Princes’s just can’t keep their penis’ to themselves. It’s so ridiculous if the wife had done this she would have been excited or at the very least sent off to a nunnery. They love one woman then another, should have smacked in the head with a brick. This was very informative, the narration spot on you always do a fantastic presentation, thank you.

💛😥👑

Two videos about this today

What an amazing story. Will have to explore more of Portugal's history as a result.

Thank you so much for your accurate description of this story.

It's a very beautiful and tragic love story – easily one of the greatest of Portugal. And as born and raised portuguese, it's so frustrating to listen to people sharing the kiss-the-corpse-hand myth as a true fact, when in reality there are no legit records about it.
Indeed, Inês was crowded Queen after being dead, and her body was then moved to Mosteiro de Alcobaça, but apart from that, it's all a legend with very deep roots in our culture. The same goes to her blood still being seen in Quinta das Lágrimas, when she was not murdered there, and the "red stains" on the fountain are just a natural chemical reaction of the environment and the pH of the water.

It's so refreshing to listen to a well done investigation on this topic. You did an amazing job ❤

Incredible story, I heard it a number of times, including a song about her in a feminist revue on the BBC World Service.

Thank you for great contents FLives. This was amazing to listen to. I always enjoy your narration

Always interesting.
Thank you.
Peace 💕🇺🇲

Truly Amazing, I appreciate all of your wonderful videos. So many people and their stories are thought provoking and heartbreaking at times. Thank You for all your time and effort. Take care and stay well.

What such an amazing story though. A sad ending for the prince and his love. Thanks for the images and the excellent content.

why translate some portuguese names and not others?
