The Bastard Kings and their families
This is series of posts are complementary to this historical parallels post from the JON SNOW FORTNIGHT EVENT, and it's purpouse to discover the lives of medieval bastard kings, and the following posts are meant to collect portraits of those kings and their close relatives.
In many cases it's difficult to find contemporary art of their period, so some of the portrayals are subsequent.
1) Henry II of Castile ( 1334 – 1379), son of Alfonso XI of Castile and Leonor de Guzmán; and his son with Juana Manuel de Villena, John I of Castile (1358 – 1390)
2) His wife, Juana Manuel de Villena (1339 – 1381), daughter of Juan Manuel de Villena and his wife Blanca de la Cerda y Lara; with their daughter, Eleanor of Castile (1363 – 1415/1416)
3) His father, Alfonso XI of Castile (1311 – 1350), son of Ferdinand IV of Castile and his wife Constance of Portugal
4) His mother, Leonor de Guzmán y Ponce de León (1310–1351), daughter of Pedro Núñez de Guzmán and his wife Beatriz Ponce de León
5) His brother, Tello Alfonso of Castile (1337–1370), son of Alfonso XI of Castile and Leonor de Guzmán
6) His brother, Sancho Alfonso of Castile (1343–1375), son of Alfonso XI of Castile and Leonor de Guzmán
7) Daughters in law:
I. Eleonor of Aragon (20 February 1358 – 13 August 1382), daughter of Peter IV of Aragon and his wife Eleanor of Sicily; John I of Castile's first wife
II. Beatrice of Portugal (1373 – c. 1420) daughter of Ferdinand I of Portugal and his wife Leonor Teles de Meneses; John I of Castile's second wife
Son in law:
III. Charles III of Navarre (1361 –1425), son of Charles II of Navarre and Joan of Valois; Eleanor of Castile's huband
8) His brother, Peter I of Castile (1334 – 1369), son of Alfonso XI of Castile and Mary of Portugal
9) His niece, Isabella of Castile (1355 – 1392), daughter of Peter I of Castile and María de Padilla

my favorite kind of history twitter tweet is historians being like "why isn't there a period drama about [cool events in my area of study]?!" and they then list the reasons (intrigue, drama) and conclude that it has nothing to envy game of thrones— and the thing is they are right. it's just that every single period of history everywhere on earth has these things and your niche historical period is never gonna get anything when producers can just do tudor show n23793 or 18th century french court for the 36829th time lol

do you know of any dating sims for fiction podcasts? i've played thief of hearts (penumbra podcast) and the archives sim (tma) but i was wondering if there were games like this for other podcasts
Dating Sims
Thief of Hearts (The Penumbra Podcast): Juno Steel/various Peter Nureyev aliases
The Archives Sim (The Magnus Archives): Player/various characters including y'all's fave, Jane Prentiss
While looking for the above I also found Dream Avatar (The Magnus Archives): the game is incomplete/on hold, player can romance Timothy Stoker currently
Three Nights in Marielda (Friends at the Table): Castille/Maelgwyn, Castille/Someone Else? (I'm sorry I don't remember who the cop is T_T).
Related Projects
There's the Friends-at-the-Table tag on itch.io and additionally The Tower under the Secret-Samol tag, but I don't know if any of these are dating simulators besides the above.
There's a walking sim Am I Alone Now (Wolf 359) based on a really excellent episode of my favorite podcast??? I'm gonna go play this right now.
Fantasy Costco (The Adventure Zone) is a gacha simulator.
Basically, explore what is tagged with your favorite podcasts on itch!
I know one of the stretch goals for a SAYER kickstarter was a dating sim tentatively called Doki Doki Space Boyfriend, but as far as I know that never materialized. There is official character concept art for it posted here and there though.
And it's not a game but hey I found two pieces of Night Vale art from way back in 2013!
Anyone else know of any other dating sims?

So there once was a woman named Inês de Castro
She was a lady-in-waiting of Constance of Castile a noblewoman
This noblewoman got married with Peter I king of Portugal
Apparently the marriage was arranged against their both will
They didn’t love each other
Instead the king fell in love with Inês
When the queen died King Afonso IV of Portugal, Pedro's father, tried to remarry his son
But Pedro refused to take a wife other than Inês, who was not deemed eligible to be queen
After several attempts to keep the lovers apart, Afonso IV ordered Inês' death
Enraged, Peter revolted against his father
Afonso defeated his son within a year, but died shortly thereafter, and Peter became king
According to legend, Peter later had Inês' body exhumed and placed upon a throne, dressed in rich robes and jewels
He also required all of his vassals to kiss the hand of the deceased "queen"
So now I cannot stop thinking about canon divers where Ed DID DIE
And Stede is so devastated and in grief that he cannot accept this reality
So, he pretends that Ed is still here still alive and well
He places his body on a chair and settee
Let’s make you comfortable love
He dresses him in best clothes
Red looks good on you dear
He gives him jewels and gold
Which one do you like most darling?
The whole crew including Izzy got the creeps but they exhausted and abused and don’t have enough willpower to contradict Stede on this one
Izzy thinks that it is deeply unhealthy but he’s on a guilt trip so he’ll let Stede have it
Especially because Stede asks his opinion how to make things better for “Ed”

NCIS: Los Angeles wrapped its 14-season run on CBS with a finale all about what the title suggested: new beginnings. But that being said, not everything was wrapped up in a nice little bow.
After all, the last scene of the finale featured two of the agents reuniting with a former team member and her recruits for a mission to rescue one of their own. A couple multi-episode arcs were left unresolved. Agents had started to look to the future in the final episodes, and it’s possible not everyone stays with NCIS in the future. One is even going to be recurring on another show in the NCIS franchise next season.
Tumblr media
Will Sam, Callen, Nell, and her team rescue Hetty?
Last we heard, Hetty (Linda Hunt) was in Syria. But it’s to Morocco that Nell (Renée Felice Smith) summons Sam (LL Cool J) and Callen (Chris O’Donnell) as she stages a rescue mission, with a couple familiar faces (Peter Cambor’s Nate and Erik Palladino’s Sabatino). “If we knew we had another season and Linda had been available, we probably would’ve gone to rescue Hetty and wound up in trouble and then had to have resolve that in the next season,” executive producer R. Scott Gemmill told TV Insider.
Tumblr media
How much of a threat is Kessler still to Kensi?
Kessler (Frank Military) made it clear that he wanted to kill Kensi (Daniela Ruah) and that threat very much remains out there. “I imagine we would’ve finally brought him to justice,” Gemmill said. With Kensi pregnant and her and Deeks’ (Eric Christian Olsen) family growing, we can’t help but think that another season would’ve seen at least one of them in some serious danger.
Tumblr media
Will the Body Stitchers case ever be resolved?
The Body Stitchers case is easily the most disturbing one of the entire series — and those responsible (including a member of the FBI!) for piecing together victims and leaving them in grotesque displays remain free. Since they stepped back from the spotlight last we saw them, it’s also easy to imagine them popping up elsewhere, meaning the threat isn’t just to Los Angeles and the agents on the case. But given how long they’ve evaded authorities thus far, we can’t help but worry about how much longer they could keep operating — and going dormant for a period clearly isn’t a problem — before the case is closed.
Tumblr media
What will the team look like going forward?
I could see Sam going into the private sector or Callen. I think all our characters love what they do. I could see Kensi staying with NCIS and Deeks becoming a stay-at-home dad. I think he would be quite content to do that for a while. Fatima [Medalion Rahimi] and Rountree [Caleb Castille] would probably stay with the team and be upgraded to the higher echelon of the team. And then I could see Kilbride [Gerald McRaney] retiring, especially if Sam and Callen moved on. Hetty, I think, will do this until her dying breath,” Gemmill said while pondering the team’s future. With Sam spending time on Hawai’i, that could impact what the future holds for him after that.
Tumblr media
Will any of the agents suffer any long-term effects from injuries sustained on the job?
The team has been through a lot over the years, with multiple members tortured and hospitalized. And Gemmill noted that the storyline involving Sam and his father (who has Alzheimer’s) “was for Sam a little bit of not a wake-up call but a glimpse into possibly his own future because of the things our guys go through. There’s no way that they don’t have sort of long-term health effects in terms of the number of times they’ve been knocked out or suffered a concussion from an explosion. So it was a little bit of foreshadowing in terms of Sam, in terms of what he might be faced with in his future as well.” Might at least one of them be forced out of the field as a result versus making the choice to leave the agency on their own accord?
Tumblr media
Will Sam’s appearances on Hawai’i reveal much about the team or any of these questions?
LL Cool J made a cameo in the NCIS: Hawai’i Season 2 finale. After, it was announced he’ll be recurring in Season 3. How much will Sam’s time with the Hawai’i team reveal anything about the LA agents? Will we find out if Hetty is rescued (and if so, how)? Will we, depending on how long Sam is around and when he shows up, find out if Kensi and Deeks have a boy or girl? Will we hear what’s going on at the Office of Special Projects (OSP) while Sam is on the island? Is Sam even going to be planning to return to work there?
Tumblr media
Will anyone else show up on NCIS or Hawai'i?
Thanks to the three-show crossover in January, the door is open for any of the OSP agents to be called in for a reason to one of the other shows in the franchise after previously working with the other two teams.

FBI è una serie televisiva statunitense di genere crime drama creata da Dick Wolf e Craig Turk che va in onda sulla CBS, dove ha debuttato il 25 settembre 2018. La serie è prodotta da Wolf Entertainment, CBS Studios e Universal Television, con Dick Wolf, Arthur W. Forney, Peter Jankowski e Turk come produttori esecutivi.
Trama:
La serie è incentrata sul funzionamento interno della divisione criminale dell'ufficio di New York del Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Questa unità d'élite mette a disposizione tutto il suo talento, il suo intelletto e la sua esperienza tecnica per risolvere i casi più importanti, al fine di mantenere New York e il paese al sicuro. Nata in una famiglia di forze dell'ordine multigenerazionale, l'agente speciale Maggie Bell si impegna a fondo per le persone con cui lavora e per quelle che protegge. Il suo partner è l'agente speciale Omar Adom "O. A." Zidan, laureato a West Point nel Queens, che ha trascorso due anni sotto copertura per la DEA prima di essere scelto dall'FBI. A supervisionarli c'è l'agente speciale in carica Dana Mosier, che opera sotto forte pressione e ha un'innegabile autorità di comando. La squadra comprende anche l'agente speciale aggiunto Jubal Valentine, il centro nevralgico dell'ufficio, la cui capacità di relazionarsi e impegnarsi facilmente sia con i superiori che con i subordinati lo rende un maestro della motivazione. Kristen Chazal è la risorsa più preziosa della squadra, una brillante analista assunta subito dopo il college che riesce a mettere insieme il quadro generale più velocemente di chiunque altro. Questi agenti di prima classe indagano tenacemente su casi che includono terrorismo, crimine organizzato e controspionaggio.
A partire dalla seconda stagione, Stuart Scola, un ex trader di Wall Street diventato agente speciale, si unisce alla squadra e fa coppia con Kristen, che allo stesso tempo passa al lavoro sul campo. Inoltre, Isobel Castille prende il posto di Mosier come supervisore della squadra dopo il pensionamento di quest'ultimo. All'inizio della terza stagione, Kristen si trasferisce a Dallas, in Texas, e viene sostituita da Tiffany Wallace, ex agente della polizia di New York e agente della White Collar Division.

#JON SNOW FORTNIGHT EVENT 2023
@asoiafcanonjonsnow
DAY 10: ECHOES OF THE PAST 🗝️📜(2/2) ->
Historical parallels with Medieval bastard Kings.
John I of Portugal
To complete the the previous post of this meta, we're going to dive in the parallels and simmilarities between Jon Snow and John I of Portugal through the following points:
BASTARDY
John I of Portugal also known as John of Avis, was the bastard son of King Peter I of Portugal and Teresa Guille Lourenço, a Galician noblewoman, lady in waiting of Inês de Castro, or according to other sources, the daughter of some Lisbon merchants.
Jon Snow is officially known to be Ned Stark's bastard son, and if we consider R+L=J, he's Prince Rhaegar and Lyanna's son, and as far as we know Jon is still a bastard.
PARENT'S TRAGIC LOVE STORY
John I's father, Peter I of Portugal fell in love with Inês, a lady in waiting and cousin of Constanza Manuel de Villena (Peter's wife).
After Constanza died, they became lovers and they had four children and they wed in secret, but some Portuguese nobles and Peter's father, Afonso IV of Portugal, disliked their relationship because the possible influences of Inês' family. They plotted to kill her, Inés was killed by three of those men and it's said that when Peter became king, he put Inês' corpse in a throne next to him so that the people would swear allegiance to her as queen of Portugal and looked for revenge chasing the ones who killed Inês. John I was born a few years after Inês died when Peter I had an affair with Teresa Lourenço.
Jon's parents, Rhaegar and Lyanna met at the Harrenhal Tourney, in which both participated, Lyanna as the Knight of the Laughing Tree, Aerys sent Rhaegar some men to learn the identity of the mystery knight, so it's likely that Rhaegar figure it out and then crowned her as Queen of Love and Beauty when he won the tourney. They fell in love and run away together, Rhaegar died at the Battle of the Trident during Robert's rebellion and Lyanna died after giving birth to Jon at the Tower of Joy.
BROTHER IS THE KING
After Peter I of Portugal died, he was succeeded by his son with Constanza Manuel de Villena, Ferdinand I, and John held a prominent position during the reign of his brother.
Jon is a brother of the Night's Watch when Robb is proclaimed as King in the North and during his brief reign.
Apart from that it would be argued that Aegon VI fits here too because he's Jon's brother, but Young Griff's identity as Aegon VI is doubtful and he hasn't taken control of Westeros yet.
MILITAR EDUCATION AND CAREER
John was educated by Nuno Freire de Andrade, Master of the Order of Christ, and John became Master of the Order of Avís, one of the most important Orders in Portugal during the Middle Ages, from which he will take his last name.
Jon joined the Night's Watch, which can also be considered a militar order in which chastity is also imposed on its members just like the Order of Avis. Jeor Mormont, Lord Commander of the Night's Watch has been one of Jon's mentors, so just like John, Jon had the leader of a militar order as a mentor, and then became the head of a militar order.
RELATIONSHIPS/LOVE INTERESTS
While John formed part of the Order of Avis, despite vows of chastity, John had two bastard children with Inês Pires when he was a teenager, Beatrice and Afonso, 1st Duke of Braganza.
Jon broke his vows by falling in love and being with Ygritte, even though Jon didn't had children with Ygritte, and Jon has also expressed that he didn't want to have them because of the stigma of being a bastard and the classist Westerosi society.
POLITICAL MATCH MAKER
John was one of the negotiators of the successive marriage projects of his niece and the heiress Beatrice of Portugal, who would end up marrying John I of Castile (Henry II of Castile's son), as a way to seal peace after the Fernandine Wars, in which Ferdinand I tried to overthrow Henry II from the Castilian throne, who became king after killing his legitimate brother Peter I of Castile (who was Ferdinand I's cousin), and was supported by one of Peter I's legitimised bastard children, Constance of Castile.
In the agreements established that each one would independently reign their kingdoms and the offspring of both would inherit Portugal, although if Beatrice died without children, the heirs of her husband would inherit Portugal, and John I of Castile has children from a previous marriage to Eleanor of Aragon (this is important detail for later).
Jon has also arranged a wedding of a familiar during his time as head of the militar institucional, as the Karstarks originated as a cadet branch of the Starks, and there have been intermarriages between the two houses, so we could assume Alys and Jon are distant cousins, such as Alys and Sigorn's wedding.
PROBLEMS OF SUCESSION AND INDEPENDENCE OF THEIR KINGDOMS & THEIR RISE TO KINGSHIP
After the death of Ferdinand I, a succession crisis took place in Portugal between Beatrice, who had no offspring, and the children of Peter I of Portugal with Inés de Castro (who were considered bastards by the Portuguese nobility), and also John revolted at end of 1384 with the support of the commonfolk and the bourgeoisie, and promoted a war to maintain the independence of Portugal, adopting the title of defender of the kingdom, which he achieved by defeating Beatrice and John I of Castile, for which he was crowned king of Portugal, being the first king and founder of the House of Avis.
Due to what happened to John with the fight for the independence of Portugal against another family member, it is most likely that in TWOW when Jon arrives in Winterfell the inheritance problem between the Starklings will have to be solved, and with Robb's will and his position as the older brother and being the one with political experience, supported by the Free Folk, the Mountain Clans and some Northern Noble Houses like the recently created House of Thenn, formed by Alys and Sigorn, Jon will be named king in the North breaking relations with the Iron Throne that is under the control of the Lannisters and the North will be (for the moment) independent again. In addition, the matter of Beatrice and her husband John I of Castile reminds me a bit of the marriage of Sansa and Tyrion, being Tywin's initial plan to get the North under the rule of the Lannisters, although that did not work and the best method was having the Boltons at Winterfell. Plus both Tyrion and John I of Castile have lions in their sigils, although the Castilian lion is purple (or in some media, red) and the Lannister one is golden.
ALLIANCES, MARRIAGE & OFFSPRING/POSSIBLE MARRIAGE (SPECULATIONS)
Like his brother Ferdinand I, John supported Constance's cause, allying with her against John I of Castile, but they were defeated and Constance did not get the Castilian throne, her daughter Catherine of Lancaster married John I of Castile's son, Henry III, and their son was  John II of Castile, thus uniting the two lines of succession of Alfonso XI of Castile.
As well as Peter I of Castile's two eldest surviving daughters married two of Edward III of England's sons (Constance married John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster and Isabella married Edmund of Langley, 1st Duke of York), John I of Portugal married Philippa of Lancaster, John of Gaunt's eldest daughter with Blanche of Lancaster, and they had a loving marriage and eight children: Blanche, Afonso, Edward I of Portugal, Peter, Henry, Isabella, John and Ferdinand.
Edward was a poet and writer, his more important books were, on good governance,'The Loyal Counselor', 'Book of Councils', 'Response, being princes, to the infant D. Ferdinand about some complaints he had of his father'; on sports and horsemanship, with educational connotations, 'Teaching book about riding well in any saddle' and "Regiment to learn to play weapons'.
It's very likely that Jon will need to make more alliances to stablish his position as King in The North and preparing for the War for the Dawn and fight against the Others, and one way to do it it would be marrying someone with a prominent influence and a big army.
And although Dany hasn't landed on Westeros yet, due to her army and her influence as queen claimant to the Iron Throne, could be a good ally, and Dany would like to help due to her care for people who are needed, so probably Jon and Dany would join forces and eventually they could fall in love, marry and rule Westeros together.
Plus, if Jon ans Dany have children, one of them could be a poet like Edward I or a music composer and a bookworm like Rhaegar.
CUNNING/KNOWLEDGE
Contemporary writers state John that his position as a master of a religious military order made him an exceptionally learned king for the Middle Ages. His love for knowledge and culture was passed down to his children, who are collectively referred to by Portuguese historians as the illustrious generation, for example, Edward I the Eloquent and Peter were considered as two of the most learned princes of their time, and Henry the Sailor invested heavily in science and in the development of nautical activities.
Although Jon is often seen as a warrior, he has shown interest on knowledge and books too and he has been showing competences and skills for being a good leader and he's cunning good at politics and a good administrator, as he has been proving during his time as Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.
DRAGON IMAGERY
John I of Portugal's sigil has some elements that make me link him with Jon, his emblem has a crest with a dragon, which was usually used in the heraldry of the Portuguese Royal family, in which a dragon appears in the Royal crest or two green dragons as the supports of coat of arms, which makes me think of Rhaegal, a green dragon, who was named after Rhaegar and most likely Jon is its dragonrider.

i recently read and confirmed elsewhere (on tudorhistory q/a ... of all things) that there was actually a (single, afaik) precedent for a royal marriage wherein the widow married her husband’s brother, it was however very different in circumstance to the marriage of catherine and arthur and subsequently henry which is maybe why it was never brought up precedentially by either side....
On 18 October 1319 the wedding ceremony between James of Aragon and Eleanor of Castile took place. James, according to the chronicles of the time, refused to give the kiss of peace during the ceremony, and James II had to do it.[2] After the ceremony, officiated by the Archbishop of Tarragona, the bridegroom again transmitted to his father his desire to renounce his rights to the throne and enter a convent. After the wedding ceremony, and after a discussion with his father, he fled on horseback, leaving his wife abandoned, and in December 1319, renounced his rights to the throne of Aragon in the Convent of San Francisco of Tarragona. Immediately, he took the habit of the Knights Hospitaller in the Convent of Santo Domingo of the same city.[2]
Alfonso, King James II's younger son, was proclaimed heir apparent. The rejection of Eleanor could have caused serious diplomatic incidents between the Castilian and Aragonese courts. James II informed Eleanor's grandmother, Queen Maria, about his regret for the actions of his eldest son, incomprehensible to him. During the spring of 1320 Eleanor remained lodged in the city of Tortosa; during her stay there, James II and Alfonso became aware that the younger James planned to recover his wife and his rights to the throne, and the conspiracy was thwarted by his father.[3]
After her stay in Tortosa, Eleanor lived in the cities of Zaragoza, Calatayud and Ateca, from where some Castilian ricohombres returned her to the Kingdom of Castile and León.[4] Once in her homeland, Eleanor retired to the Abbey of Santa María la Real de Las Huelgas, although she never took the veil.[5] In early 1325, King Edward II of England proposed the marriage of his eldest son, Edward, with Eleanor, and sent his proxies to negotiate the terms of the wedding by charter dated 6 February 1325. The union never took place due to Edward's deposition.
so...never lived together, never so much as even shared the same bed the night of the wedding, not to mention he takes orders before he can do any of these things, and abdicates (although apparently he gets cold feet/buyers’ remorse later...). very different case, but, funnily enough, eleanor does have sons by her previous husband’s brother after their marriage:
In Ágreda in January 1329 the betrothal between Eleanor and King Alfonso IV of Aragon was signed, and the wedding ceremony took place one month later, on 5 February in the Church of San Miguel de Tarazona. The ceremony was attended by King Alfonso XI of Castile and King James II's children, Maria, John, Peter and Ramón Berenguer. Alfonso IV gave his new wife the city of Huesca and other villages and castles belonging to the Aragonese crown.[4] This marriage improved relations between Castile and Aragon in a renewed alliance formed with the aim of reconquering Granada. The Kingdom of Aragon had breached several marriage agreements, returning to Castile several princesses after breaking off engagements, and this union put an end to the practice.
Eleanor became a disruptive influence in Aragon, plotting to advance the interests of her own sons over those of her stepson, Peter, born from Alfonso IV's first marriage with Teresa d'Entença, Countess of Urgell, who died in 1327. She convinced her husband to consent to make significant territorial donations to the children born to them, Ferdinand and John. Alfonso IV was generous and on 28 December 1329, he granted Ferdinand the Marquisate of Tortosa and the cities of Albarracín, Orihuela, Callosa, Guardamar, Alicante, Monforte, Elda, La Mola, Novelda and Aspe.[7] Eleanor's younger son John also received several lordships: Elche, Biel and Bolsa.
These donations made by Alfonso IV diminished the territorial patrimony of the crown and mainly affected Peter, producing a climate of resentment in the Aragonese court. Because of this the nobility was divided into two camps. One of the two sides was in favor of Queen Eleanor and her sons, and the other defended the prerogatives of Peter and his full siblings. When the King granted his son Ferdinand the cities of Xàtiva, Alzira, Sagunto, Morella, Borriana and Castellón de la Plana, all located in the Kingdom of Valencia, the local subjects protested, and for this reason the King decided to revoke these last donations
although...
Her youngest son, John of Aragon, was assassinated in Bilbao on 12 June 1358 by order of his cousin the Castilian sovereign,[10] and one year later (March/April 1359), she was murdered in the castle of Castrojeriz by order of her nephew.[5]Four years later, in 1363, her oldest son, Ferdinand of Aragon, was assassinated in Burriana by order of his half-brother, King Peter IV.[11]

Leonor Telles before the corpse of the Count Andeiro. By  Manuel de Macedo and Alfredo Roque Gameiro.
Juan Fernández de Andeiro 1320 in the town of La Coruña, Galicia. He fought in the First Castilian Civil War (1366-1369) in which half-brothers Henry of Trastamara and Peter I of Castile fought. After the victory of the former, Juan Fernández de Andeiro fled Castile for Portugal. Once in Portugal, he encouraged King Ferdinand I to wage war against Henry II in order to remove him from the throne and take his place. That war culminated in defeat for the Portuguese monarch. Fernández de Andeiro allegedly eventually became the lover of the Portuguese queen Leonor Téllez de Meneses, who made him her valid and provoked the ire of many. After the death of the king, the relationship between the queen (regent of the kingdom) and Juan Fernández de Andeiro became public. The count was assassinated on 6 December 1383 by the leader of a rebellion, the Maestre de Avis (later John I of Portugal) and Queen Eleanor was banished. Before her exile, she buried the count in the church of Martín.

Yes, of course I've heard of it! One of the most interesting historical characters of medieval Castile, although I have always preferred his half-brother Peter I.
