Isabel d'Aragão a Rainha Santa Historia sucinta da sua vida, morte e excelsas virtudes

This compact biography follows the remarkable path of a 13th‑century princess who became Portugal’s beloved queen and later a saint. Born in Zaragoza to royal Aragonese parents, her early years are portrayed as marked by a quiet grace that attracted the attention of European courts. At just eleven, she married King Dinis of Portugal, an alliance celebrated across the kingdom for its promise of peace and prosperity.

The narrative then turns to her life in Portugal, where she earned a reputation for generosity, mediation in family disputes, and deep concern for the poor. Her devotion to Coimbra, the city that would claim her as patron, is illustrated through the charitable works she inspired and the lasting devotion she sparked among the faithful. Written in an accessible style, the book offers listeners a clear view of her virtues and the enduring influence of her holy example.
