Inês de Castro and the Jewish of Toledo: an active reception case at Fernão Lopes

Abstract

This study tries to elucidate the historical origins of the amours of Pedro du Portugal and Inês de Castro, decapitated in 1353 by the father of Pedro, King Alphonse IV. Elevated to a mythic magnitude by centuries of apologetic literature on the one hand, which is the subject of arisable historical debates on the other, this history of love and death has become one of the major pillars of Portuguese cultural identity. Briefly documented in the production of the 14th century, the friendly relationship between Pedro and Inês took a remarkable narrative development in the chronology written in the first half of the 15th century. Literary and conceptually modelled on the amours of Alphonse VIII of Castile and Jewish de Toledo (openly condemned by previous historiography), and supported by an ombrageous portrait of Pedro (identifiable by the fou of love typical of the medical imagination of passions), the original historiographic version of these amours, probably due to Fernão Lopes, derives the authenticity of which it stands out in the ideological and social codifications shared by the public to which the chronology was intended, and puts the authority of the resulting narrative to the legitimacy of the new nasty dytie.
