The sentence is:
A pesar de los ungüentos del embalsamador, el Hermoso hedía.
Which I have translated as... "(To weigh??) the ointments of the embalmer, El Hermoso stank."
I don't know how the verb 'pesar' should be applied here!!!

Hi lydliz
The expression "a pesar de" is a set expression that can be taken to mean something along the lines of "despite/in spite of"
Questions such as these can often be answered more quickly by a quick trip to the online dictionary here: SpanishDict entry for "pesar"
