Between In\u00eas and Pedro, in real life, love reached the intensity and tragic consequences of the fictionalized romances of antiquity, thus becoming a timeless and universal event. The historical facts of the 14th century and the emotional lyrical imagery, in which the purity of love intersects with the brutality of Dona In\u00eas de Castro’s murder and Pedro’s revenge, have remained for posterity. Many authors, both Portuguese and foreign, have contributed to perpetuating the story and the legend, and Garcia de Resende and Lu\u00eds de Cam\u00f5es are undoubtedly central figures in the lyrical approach to the loves of Pedro and In\u00eas. <\/p>\n
The Trovas \u00e0 Morte de In\u00eas de Castro, by Garcia de Resende, are the oldest poetic composition on this theme to date and, in addition to their poetic beauty, offer us the chance to appreciate the characteristics of traditional medieval writing. And the stanzas that Cam\u00f5es dedicates to him in Canto III of Os Lus\u00edadas, of classicist inspiration, perhaps reach the highest point of poetic literature on this tragic and supreme romance. But this edition also includes two other remarkable pieces: Bocage’s Cantata \u00e0 Morte de In\u00eas de Castro, and the beautiful Soneto dos T\u00famulos by the poet who sang In\u00eas the most in the 20th century: Afonso Lopes Vieira. The tombs, sumptuously sculpted, are said to have been placed face to face in the transept of the Monastery of Alcoba\u00e7a by Dom Pedro’s design: eye to eye, this is how they will meet on the day of their ascension to a new life. <\/p>\n
