D Pedro I
Peter I ; 19 April 1320 – 18 January 1367), called the Just (Portuguese: o Justiceiro), was the eighth King of Portugal and the Algarve from 1357 until his death. He was the third but only surviving son of Afonso IV of Portugal and his wife, princess Beatrice of Castile.
Fernão Lopes labels Peter as "the Just" and said that Peter loved justice--especially the dispensing of it, which he enjoyed doing for himself. Inês' assassins received his harshest punishment: the three had escaped to Castile, but Peter arranged for them to be exchanged for Castilian fugitives residing in Portugal with his nephew, Peter of Castile. One man escaped, but the other two were brought to justice, and Lopes says that Pedro ripped their hearts out with his own hands.
It is possible that Peter I of Portugal has been confused with Peter of Castile: both have the same name, both lived at the same time, the two were closely related, and both are credited with committing violent acts towards their subjects. Despite his gruesome legacy, Peter I of Portugal did have a peaceful reign and managed to install a system of justice which was relatively fair for the times. He attempted this with his Beneplácito Régio in 1361, which forbade any Papal Bulls to be published without his prior consent. This was a result of the number of fake papal documents that had been entering the country. He also began the "nationalization" of the military orders by placing his youngest son João (an illegitimate child born after Inês' death) as the Master of the Order of Avis. He claimed that he and Inês had been married and thus that their four children were legitimate, but nothing ever came of this. Oeter and Inês' children went to live in Castile.
Legend holds that Peter later had Inês' body exhumed and placed upon a throne, dressed in rich robes and jewels, requiring all of his vassals to kiss the hand of the deceased "queen". This has never been proven, but what is known is that Peter did have Inês' body removed from her resting place in Coimbra and taken to Alcobaça where her body was laid to rest in the monastery. Peter had two tombs constructed in the monastery, one for each of them. These still exist today; they contain images of Peter and Inês facing each other, with the words "Até o fim do mundo..." or "Until the end of the world..." inscribed on the marble.
Peter was also the father of Ferdinand I of Portugal and John I of Portugal. John was the Master of the military order of Avis, and he would become the founder of the Avis dynasty in 1385, after defeating an attempt by Beatrice of Portugal and John I of Castile to ascend the Portuguese throne

The Palace of the Marquesses of Fronteira, also known as Fronteira Palace (in Portuguese Palácio Fronteira), in Lisbon, was built in 1640 as a hunting pavilion to Dom João de Mascarenhas, 1st Marquis of Fronteira.
In spite of some tall buildings, the palace is still located in a very quiet area, near the Monsanto forest-park (Lisbon). The house and the garden have beautiful glazed tiles representing different themes such as battles or monkeys playing trumpets.
In spite of being the current Marquis residence, some of the rooms, the library and the garden are open to public visits. The Battles Room has beautiful panels representing scenes of the Portuguese Restoration War; one of them shows D. João de Mascarenhas fighting a Spanish general. For his loyalty to King Pedro II of Portugal, during that war, he received the title of 1st Marquis of Fronteira.
The Dining Room is decorated with portraits representing some members of the Portuguese nobility, painted by artist such as Domingos António de Sequeira.
The Chapel, dated from the end of the 16th Century is the oldest part of the palace. The façade is adorned with stones, shells, broken glass and porcelains. It seams that those pieces were used during the palace’s inauguration and were broken on purpose just not to be used again.
The palace garden has an area of 5,5 ha. The visits to the garden begin in the Chapel yard. There, you will find niches with glazed tiles with pictures that represent the different arts as well as mythological figures. The garden hedges are cut in order to represent the different year seasons. There is also a stone staircase which take us to a yard where several niches are decorated with the Kings of Portugal busts

O Palácio Fronteira, em Lisboa, foi construído em 1640 como pavilhão de caça para D. João de Mascarenhas, o primeiro marquês de Fronteira.
Apesar de alguns prédios altos serem visíveis à distância, continua a ocupar um lugar tranquilo, à beira do Parque Florestal de Monsanto. A casa e o jardim têm belos azulejos cujos temas vão desde as batalhas a macacos que tocam trombetas.
Embora o palácio ainda seja ocupado pelo 12º marquês, algumas das salas, a biblioteca e o jardim podem ser visitados. A Sala das Batalhas tem belos painéis com cenas da Guerra da Restauração e um pormenor de João de Fronteira que combate um general espanhol. Foi a sua lealdade a D. Pedro II, durante esse conflito, que o fez ganhar o título de marquês.
A Sala de Jantar está decorada com frescos retratos da nobreza portuguesa, de artistas como Domingos António de Sequeira.
A Capela de finais do século XVI é a parte mais antiga. A fachada está dornada com pedras, conchas, vidros partidos e restos de porcelanas. Diz-se que essas peças foram usadas na inauguração do palácio e partidas para que ninguém mais as utilizasse.
