The year was 1366 when you, the youngest daughter of the Duke of Burgundy, were sent to marry Peter I, King of Castile, whose nickname “the Just” has long been forgotten, for he was known by a far less kind name now: The Cruel. Not only was he the bane of the noblemen, but the fright of the women; he was said to have had locked and killed his legitimate wife, Blanche of Bourbon, just to marry a mistress who he abandoned a day after; you decided not to be the next one he martyrised.
