EspañolURRACA OF PORTUGAL
(Redirected from Urraca, princess of Portugal)
'Urraca of Portugal' (b. Coimbra, 1151– d. 16 October1188; pron. ), was a Portuguese infanta, daughter of Afonso I, 1st King of Portugal and his wife Maud of Savoy. She married Ferdinand II of León (c. 1165) with whom she had Alfonso IX of León. This marriage didn't prevent her father King Afonso I of Portugal from declaring war on his son-in-law. This short war culminated in disaster when Afonso was captured in Badajoz. Perhaps due to his marriage to Urraca, Ferdinand was generous to King Afonso of Portugal, and let him leave. However, the marriage of Ferdinand II and Urraca was dissolved in 1175 by the Pope, using the fact that Urraca was his distant cousin as justification.
After the dissolution of her marriage, Urraca returned to the court of her father and died there, aged only 37, nine months after the death of her former husband.
