She was born in 1840 to a single mother who died when Henriqueta was still a little girl. She was sent to an orphanage and started working at a very young age. <br><br>When she turned 16, she was a very good-looking girl and started approaching rich Brazilian merchants, taking money and other things of value from them. It&#8217;s said that, by that time, she had become a prostitute and managed to save extraordinary amounts of money. By the time she was in her twenties, already rich and living comfortably, she became fed up with men and retreated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few years later, her path crossed with the much younger Teresa Maria de Jesus (who was often called Etelvina), and a beautiful friendship soon turned into a love story. Henriqueta da Concei\u00e7\u00e3o and Teresa Maria de Jesus were deeply in love and lived that love to the fullest, despite the opinions of others. Unfortunately, this love did not last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the autumn of 1868, Teresa Maria, like so many women before and after her, died of tuberculosis. Henriqueta lost the will to live. She cried and screamed, and did not know how to deal with the death of the love of her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Buried in grief<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Henriqueta decided that Teresa de Jesus should be placed in a more fitting grave. She bought a grave at the Prado Repouso Cemetery, in Porto, and ordered a statue of St. Francisco constructed from the finest Italian marble. <br><br>On a cold December evening, in 1868, the mortal remains of Teresa Maria were transferred to the new grave. What happened next will truly shock you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Henriqueta asked for a private moment to say goodbye to her beloved friend. &#8220;When no one is watching&#8230; that is when it really counts&#8221;. When Henriqueta was alone with the corpse, she took a knife she had hidden inside her dress and cut off Teresa&#8217;s head. She placed the head in a scarf and, after the funeral, took it home\u2026 where they lived happily ever after. Well, not quite! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the flat she had once shared with Teresa Maria, Henriqueta placed the head of her beloved under a glass bowl. She became so used to it that she didn\u2019t even bother to hide the head when she had visitors. Eventually, someone notified the police about this strange case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;It wasn\u2019t a case of profanity&#8221;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Henriqueta da Concei\u00e7\u00e3o was arrested, of course! But the judge was so moved that he dismissed the case, claiming \u201cit wasn\u2019t a case of profanity, but a case of devotion to her relative\u201d. She was released and continued to visit Teresa de Jesus at Prado Repouso Cemetery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teresa\u2019s grave is still at the cemetery in Porto, in section 33, next to the grave of the painter Jo\u00e3o Baptista Ribeiro. And believe it or not, Teresa and Henriqueta\u2019s tomb is the only 19th-century grave in that cemetery where people still place fresh flowers to this day<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"camilo-castelo-branco-and-ana-placido\">Love story #2: Camilo Castelo Branco and Ana Pl\u00e1cido<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tasteporto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/portuguese-love-stories-that-will-freak-you-out.png\" alt=\"5 Portuguese love stories that will freak you out\" class=\"wp-image-1318\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it&#8217;s time to tell you the love story of Camilo Castelo Branco, the famous Portuguese writer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He met the writer Ana Augusta Pl\u00e1cido in 1850 when she was already married to Manuel Pinheiro Alves. They fell for each other. Back in those days, adultery was a crime, so as soon as this love affair became known to the general public, the couple became fugitives, traveling across the country and fighting against a lack of resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1860, the betrayed husband sued them for adultery, and the couple faced trial for their affair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They were both imprisoned at Cadeia da Rela\u00e7\u00e3o, in Porto, for loving each other. There&#8217;s a statue, right in front of the former Cadeia da Rela\u00e7\u00e3o, that symbolizes this forbidden love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this time, Camilo Castelo Branco wrote, in a record time of 15 days, his most-read and popular novel: &#8220;Love of Perdition: Memoirs of a family&#8221;.

Because no list of romances would be complete without the story of In\u00eas de Castro and King Pedro of Portugal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pedro was the son of King D. Afonso IV and the heir to the throne. Afonso IV decided that his son would marry Constance, a Castilian noblewoman, for political reasons. And everything was going according to plan until he met one of Constance&#8217;s ladies-in-waiting: In\u00eas de Castro &#8211; it was love at first sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two started an affair that lasted until Constance&#8217;s death in 1345. After her death, Pedro and In\u00eas lived as a married couple, a decision that angered his father, King Afonso IV, who was strongly opposed to this love story. <br><br>&#8220;Why?&#8221; you may ask. Well, this relationship threatened the future and independence of Portugal from Spain \u2013 to the point that Afonso banished In\u00eas from the court. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But this did not end the relationship<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, it is said that the couple, against the king\u2019s orders, married in secret. Pedro and In\u00eas moved to Santa Clara Palace in Coimbra and lived there for many years with their children. Simultaneously, King Afonso was under increasing pressure to put an end to this story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">One of the most terrifying episodes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>King Afonso ordered the murder of In\u00eas de Castro in January 1355. This decision led to one of the most terrifying episodes in all of Portuguese history. A group of men captured In\u00eas and murdered her in cold blood. She was stabbed in front of her children, begging the king and her killers for mercy. As you can imagine, In\u00eas\u2019s death left Pedro completely devastated, and he was willing to start a war with his father. Fortunately, his mother pleaded for peace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Cruel<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though he promised not to persecute the men responsible for In\u00eas\u2019s death, Pedro&#8217;s heart wanted revenge. As soon as his father died and Pedro was named King, he ordered the execution of In\u00eas\u2019 murderers by ripping their hearts out. This action earned him the title of \u201cthe Cruel\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a final act of love, he demanded that In\u00eas be recognized as Queen of Portugal. \u201cHow did he do that?\u201d you may wonder. Well, Pedro exhumed his lover\u2019s body, dressed her in the finest clothes, placed her on the throne, crowned her, and\u2026 guess what? He made all the nobles, who had once opposed their love, kiss In\u00eas\u2019s hand and recognize her as their true queen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spooky, right? The two lovers are buried in the Royal Monastery of Alcoba\u00e7a, where two magnificent tombs were built in order to immortalize this tragic love story in stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"king-carlos-alberto-and-princess-frederica-de-montleart\">Love Tale #4: King Carlos Alberto and Princess Frederica de Montl\u00e9art<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tasteporto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/portuguese-romances-that-will-freak-you-out.png\" alt=\"5 Portuguese love stories that will freak you out\" class=\"wp-image-1318\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Italian king Carlos Alberto was exiled to Porto after being defeated in 1849 by the Austrian troops. He chose Porto because he was hoping to recover his &#8211; quite fragile &#8211; health at that time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He arrived here with his half-sister, Princess Frederica Augusta de Montl\u00e9art. He lived at Pra\u00e7a Carlos Alberto (named after him) and, afterward, moved into another place, close to the Pal\u00e1cio de Cristal garden. Unfortunately, Carlos Alberto&#8217;s health was too fragile and he died a few months later, on the 28th of July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His body was transferred to the Savoy Pantheon, in Italy. But his sister, against everything and everyone, decided to build a chapel to honor the memory of her brother. Frederica Augusta contacted some Portuguese architects, but their suggestions did not seem to please her. So, she showed them sketches she had made herself, and these were the ones that succeeded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chapel is still here, beautiful and discreet, at the end of Avenida das T\u00edlias, inside the Pal\u00e1cio de Cristal garden in Porto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"romeo-and-juliet\">Love Affair #5: Romeo and Juliet<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tasteporto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Taste-Porto-Food-Tours.png\" alt=\"5 Portuguese love stories that will freak you out\" class=\"wp-image-1318\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Forget the love story that went wrong.
