Actually, both the story and her name are uncertain, although many say that her name was María de Padilha.

The story goes that Don Pedro was the fiancé of Doña Blanca de Bourbom, a young lady of the French Court, taken to Castile to marry the Prince who was about to assume the throne in the year 1350.

However, when Doña María de Padilha and Don Pedro de Castilla met, they fell in love and gave free rein to a great secret passion, because this union would never be approved by the royal family, nor by the court.

Don Pedro I of Castile wanted to avoid marrying Doña Blanca de Bourbom, but it was clear that the union would bring great political benefits to the Court of Spain and Portugal.

Many indicate that María de Padilha worked magic and that through it she managed to completely dominate the next King of Castile, causing him to abandon Doña Blanca de Bourbom who later died, supposedly beheaded by order of the King.

But this story is not so true, since many indicate that Doña Blanca was abandoned by the King and sent to France with her family.

When Doña Blanca disappeared from their lives, Maria de Padilha de Castilla began to live with the King in his palace in Seville, which was built for her by her beloved King.

They say that María Padilha and the King of Castile were parents of four children, but their firstborn died at a young age.

Mary died of the Black Death before Don Pedro I King of Castile, who gave her a great funeral worthy of a great Queen and she was buried in the castle gardens.
