Urraca de Portugal
De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infanta_Urraca_de_Portugal
Urraca de Borgo帽a y Saboya (Co铆mbra, 1151 – ¿?, 16 de octubre de 1188) fue infanta portuguesa y reina consorte de Le贸n. Era hija de Alfonso I Enr铆quez, primer rey de Portugal, y de su esposa Mafalda de Saboya.
En 1165 se cas贸 con Fernando II de Le贸n con qui茅n tuvo a:
Alfonso (1171–1230), sucesor de su padre con el nombre de Alfonso IX.
Esta uni贸n no evit贸 que su padre Alfonso I declarara la guerra a su yerno. Esta corta guerra acab贸 cuando Alfonso fue capturado en Badajoz. Quiz谩s debido a su matrimonio con Urraca, Fernando dej贸 que Alfonso se fuera. Sin embargo, la uni贸n de Fernando II y Urraca fue disuelta en 1175 por el Papa, usando el hecho de que Urraca era su prima lejana como justificaci贸n.
Despu茅s de la disoluci贸n de esta uni贸n, Urraca volvi贸 a la corte de su padre. All铆 muri贸, cuando ten铆a 37 a帽os, nueve meses despu茅s muri贸 su marido.
Urraca de Portugal, Rainha de Le茫o
Origem: Wikip茅dia, a enciclop茅dia livre.
http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urraca_de_Portugal,_rainha_de_Le%C3%A3o
Urraca Afonso, infanta de Portugal (Coimbra, 1151 - 16 de Outubro de 1188), infanta portuguesa filha de Afonso I de Portugal e de Mafalda, condessa de Sab贸ia, sendo irm茫 do rei Sancho I de Portugal.
Afonso I, rei de Portugal casou a sua filha, Urraca com Fernando II de Le茫o, seu primo afastado ( pois Fernando era neto de Urraca de Le茫o e Castela, tia de Afonso Henriques), em 1166, tendo ela apenas 15 anos e ele j谩 28, mas devido aos la莽os de parentesco o casamento acabou por ser dissolvido pelo Papa em 1175.
Deste casamento nasceu o futuro Afonso IX de Le茫o (1171), 煤ltimo rei de Le茫o independente, e ainda os infantes Fernando, Sancha e Dulce.
Depois da anula莽茫o do seu casamento, Urraca partiu para a corte do pai, em Portugal e veio a falecer em Coimbra em 1188, com apenas 37 anos de idade.
Urraca of Portugal (b. Coimbra, 1151– d. 16 October 1188; pron. IPA: [u'?ak?]), was a Portuguese infanta, daughter of Afonso I, 1st King of Portugal and his wife Maud of Savoy. She married Ferdinand II of Le贸n (c. 1165) with whom she had Alfonso IX of Le贸n. 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.

Infanta Urraca of Portugal (Coimbra, 1151 – 16 October 1188; Portuguese pronunciation: [u%CB%88%CA%81ak%C9%90]) was a Portuguese infanta (princess), daughter of Afonso I, 1st King of Portugal and his wife Maud of Savoy. She married Ferdinand II of Le贸n (c. 1165) with whom she had Alfonso IX of Le贸n. This marriage didn't prevent her father Afonso I from declaring war on his son-in-law.

Queen Regnant Urraca I Alfonsez of Castilla and L茅on (Spain)
In 1107 she reigned over her Dowry Galicia and Zamora after the death of her first husband Count Raimond de Bourgogne. The following year she inherited the throne from her father Alfonso VI Fernandez of Castile and Leon (1040-1109). Her second marriage in the year 1109 to Alfonso I Perez de Aragon (d. 1134) ended in divorce in 1114. Her reign was disturbed by strife among the powerful nobles and especially by constant warfare with her husband, who had seized her lands. She never remarried, though she took several lovers. Another thorn in her side was her half-sister, Tarasa of Portugal and her husband, Enrique, who allied with her estranged husband, then betrayed him when a better offer came from Urraca's court. After her brother-in-law's death in 1112, her sister still contested ownership of lands. With the aid of her son, Alfonso Raim煤ndez, Urraca was able to win back much of her domain and ruled successfully until her death. According to the Chronicon Compostellanum, she died in childbirth in 1126. The father was her lover, Count Pedro Gonz谩lez of Lara. She was succeeded by her legitimate son, Alfonso VII Raymundez of Castile and Leon "Imperator totus Hispaniae" (d. 1157), She lived (1082-1128/29).
