Portugal". In the Kingdom of Aragon, infanta Maria met the aforementioned Badasal Spinola, Genoese who served under her brother King Fernando I. Fernão Lopes, in his Crónica de el-rei D. Fernando (chapter LIV), wrote about what happened next: Finally, in Barcelona ​​on 27 May 1373, infanta Maria and King Pedro IV reached an agreement and, on 13 August of that year, she dispensed several mayors from the bond of homage and vassalage to her. From this point, there's conflicting reports about infanta Maria's last years and even the place of her death. From Fernão Lopes' writings about her (the long affection) she certaintly was alive after 1374, a fact confirmed not only by the infanta's pact with King Pedro IV but also by the letter that the Duke of Girona wrote to his father in that year, in which she is mentioned. While historian Ana Rodrigues Oliveira mentioned that she returned to Portugal after 1375 and became a nun, dying in the city of Aveiro and buried in the Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Velha in Coimbra, on the other hand, in a letter dated 8 May 1377, King Pedro IV of Aragon informed his eldest son that "Cert ardit havem haüt que la infanta de Portugal és morte en Jènova" (We have heard that the Infanta of Portugal died in Genoa) and indicates to him that it is convenient to show mourning.
