Their great love was opposed by King Alfonso IV, who ordered the woman killed in 1355. When the disconsolate prince became king under the title Dom Pedro I, he had the corpse of his unlucky lover disinterred and formally wedded her.
Then had two monumental tombs sculpted for himself and his lover, placing them symmetrically in the transept of the abbey church de Alcobaça. the two sepulchers were set facing one another, so that, when they reawaken on Judgment Day, Inés and Pedro can find each other at once and embrace for eternity.
