Teresa de Borgoña y Barcelona (Coímbra, 4 de octubre de 1178 – Lorvão, 18 de junio de 1250). Infanta portuguesa y reina consorte de León. Hija de Sancho I el Poblador y de Dulce de Barcelona.

Se casó con su primo hermano Alfonso IX de León. De esta unión tuvo tres hijos:

1) Fernando (1192 - agosto de 1214).

2) Sancha (1193 - 1270). Después de dos intentos fallidos de matrimonio con Enrique I de Castilla y Jean de Brienne, se convirtió en monja en el monasterio de Cozollos.

3) Dulce (1194 - 1243). Pasó su vida con su madre en Portugal.

Su matrimonio fue anulado por el Papa por razones de parentesco. Separada de su marido regreso a Portugal, donde vivió el resto de su vida.



Born a princess, the oldest daughter of King Sancho I. Married to King Alfonso IX of Leon, Spain; northern Portugal formed part of her dowry. Mother of three children. Several years into the marriage it was dissolved by the Vatican upon the revelation that Theresa and Alfonso were cousins. Single again, Theresa returned to Portugal where she converted the Benedictine monastery at Lorvão into a convent for 300 Cistercian nuns. Theresa then moved into the convent, though she did not take vows. In 1231 she left to settle a bitter succession dispute between her children over the throne of Leon. With peace between them, she returned to the convent, took vows, and remained there as a nun for the rest of her life.

Canonized 20 May 1705 by Pope Clement XI (cultus confirmed)
