description The ancient relations between Portugal and Burgundy suffered a further development in 1430 with the marriage of Isabel with Philip, the Good. However, in 1449, the tragic death of his brother Pedro in Alfarrobeira, the denial of a burial grave and the confiscation of Pedro’s possessions, his children’s inheritance and his supporters’ seem to threaten the close and prosperous relations that had existed until then. Isabel, protective of the Avis family, funded a small embassy to the court of King Afonso V, headed by Jean Jouffroy, dean of Vergy, in order to reverse the court’s policy. The head of this embassy asked to revoke the decrees of treason and confiscation in order to achieve a Christian burial for Pedro; the devolution of the deceased nobleman’s possessions to his children; amnesty and recovery of possessions to his former partisans. As the court refused to return the possessions, Isabel welcomed three of the Duke’s children in Burgundy and promoted them to international positions. Although the persecution moved to the countess’s family in Portugal frightened her and brought her some worries, there was no reason to endanger the relations between the two states.
