                      Elizabeth repeatedly sought and effected peace between King Denis and their son Alfonso.   
                       Alfonso thought he was passed over to favor the King's illegitimate children.

                          Elizabeth of Aragon (Portugal) was named for her grandaunt, St. Elizabeth of Hungary,   
                           who was canonized in 1235. Queen Elizabeth's bishop testified that she had a custom of   
                           inviting in lepers, whom she would bathe and clothe.

Elizabeth's husband King Denis became known as the Farmer King because he planted a vast pine forest   
near the city of Leiria to prevent the relentless soil erosion that threatened the entire region.

Queen Elizabeth enjoyed a remarkable understanding of engineering and architecture.     
She herself designed and oversaw the building of several churches.

In 1289 King Denis signed the Concordat of Forty Articles with Pope Nicholas IV, swearing to protect the Church's interests in Portugal.
