Teresa Fernández de Traba
Teresa Fernández de Traba (d. León, 1180) Queen consort of León (1178–1180)
She was daughter of Count Fernando Pérez de Traba, Lord of Trastamara and his mistress, Theresa, Countess of Portugal. She first appears in 1131, along with her father, in a donation to the monastery of San Martín de Joyba. About 1152, she married Count Nuño Pérez de Lara.[1] On 29 January 1160 Teresa and husband Nuño founded the Cistercian convent of Santa María at Perales.[2] Following the death of Nuño in 1178, Teresa went to the Leonese court,[1] and there before October 7, 1178 she married with King Ferdinand II of León (1137–1188). She died as a result of childbirth two years later, in 1180.
She had children by both husbands, by Nuño Pérez de Lara having:[3]
- Álvaro
- Fernando
- Gonzalo
- Sancha, wife of Sancho, Count of Provence
