Doña Ines de Alfaro: killed two of her brothers because they had killed Don Pedro de Aguilar her lover: she fled to the countryside dressed as a man, and there committed many killings and acts of violence, and when at last she was arrested and sentenced to death, it was disclosed that she was a woman, with other detail that will be seen later.

Barcelona: Imprenta de Estivill, 1831

This mild image of Doña Ines reflects neither her violence (crimenes y asesinatos) nor her dressing as a man, showing her instead in the desert with a hermit. What is not clear, until the full text is read, is that the image depicts her after execution; twenty-four hours after hanging, she was rescued by a hermit she had met earlier in the narrative. The emphasis of the story is on penitence and pardon, rather than on retribution.
