Estou aqui a pensar com os meus botões como é que vou contar esta história, "talvez eu deva de ser mais discreta"! Vocês acusam-me de "falar demasiado" hahaha!! Vou começar por dizer-vos que me encontro no Mosteiro de Alcobaça - o mais belo Mosteiro de Portugal - aqui estão sepultados, um rei e uma rainha, que foram os protagonistas da mais bela história de amor, mas também a mais trágica, da História de Portugal. Inseparáveis na vida e na morte! Por isso, HOJE vai ser tudo em dose dupla, inseparável de mim própria! "Eu vou servir-vos um doce açucarado", que é o que este post é!
I'm thinking to myself how I'm going to tell this story, "maybe I should be more discreet"! You accuse me of "talk too much" hahaha!!! I'll start by telling you that I'm in the Monastery of Alcobaça - the most beautiful monastery in Portugal - where a king and queen are buried, the protagonists of the most beautiful love story in Portuguese history, but also the most tragic. Inseparable in life and in death! So TODAY it's all going to be a double dose, inseparable from myself! "I'm going to serve you up some sugary sweet", which is what this post is!
- Because Pedro was already married!
- Because Inês was Lady-in-Waiting to Pedro's wife. A scandal!
- and because D. Inês was Spanish (Spain at the time always wanted to annex the territories of the Kingdom of Portugal to its own).
A relação de D. Pedro com esta espanhola não era aceite pelo seu pai, o Rei de Portugal e também pela corte, que via nesta união uma ameaça à independência de Portugal. O Reino de Castela - actual Espanha - sempre ambicionou conquistar Portugal. Entretanto, a mulher de D. Pedro morre e D. Pedro passa a viver maritalmente com D. Inês de quem tem 3 filhos! Esta relação era um escândalo, porque D. Pedro assume D. Inês como sua mulher legítima, esta atitude irritou profundamente o pai de D. Pedro, que num acto tresloucado manda contratar 3 homens para assassinar D. Inês! "E isto não é uma verdadeira proeza"!
Pedro's relationship with this Spanish woman was not accepted by his father, the King of Portugal, and also by the court, which saw this union as a threat to Portugal's independence. The Kingdom of Castile - now Spain - had always wanted to conquer Portugal. In the meantime, Pedro's wife died. Pedro moved in with Inês, with whom he had three children! This relationship was a scandal, because Pedro took Inês as his legitimate wife. This attitude deeply angered Pedro's father, who in a foolish act had 3 men hired to assassinate Inês! "that's no real feat"!
Quanto ao meu look, escolhi este vestido de padrão floral, com isso, pretendi homenagear os tecidos chamados Chitas de Alcobaça. Este tipo de tecido - chita - foi trazido pelos portugueses da Índia, no séc. XV e, a partir de Portugal foram comercializados por toda a Europa. Aqui, em Alcobaça estabeleceram-se fábricas que o produziram, existem muitas estampas e motivos, mas as mais comuns são as florais, foi díficil conseguir fotos das chitas mais bonitas, pois as poucas fotos que existem estão protegidas por direitos de autor!
As for my look, I chose this floral patterned dress to honour the
fabrics called Chitas de Alcobaça. This type of fabric - chintz - was
brought by the Portuguese from India in the 15th century and, from
Portugal, was commercialised throughout Europe. There are many prints
and motifs, but the most common are floral. It was difficult to get
photos of the most beautiful chintz, as the few photos that exist are
protected by copyright!
There are only two shops in Portugal that sell this fabric, one in Alcobaça and the other in Porto. New designers are trying to find new uses for it, such as decoration. With such a beautiful history, it is urgent that this fabric is given its due value and that this Portuguese heritage is not allowed to die. It must be defended and protected so that it doesn't disappear into the foam of days!
As for the song I've chosen to soundtrack this post and this "life time" love, it's "Talk too Much". King Pedro certainly wouldn't like a romantic song that melt the coldest heart. I think the song I've chosen TODAY is perfect for a King who went down in Portuguese history as, "say it loud", The Cruel One!

Marisa, I don't think you write too much - I like reading your posts, and the story of Pedro and Ines reminds me of the stories of Romeo and Juliet.
ResponderEliminarA beautiful monastery - no wonder it was included on the UNESCO list.
You look beautiful in this dress - it fits perfectly into the interior of this monastery.
