About María Afonso de Portugal, Infanta de Portugal

unknown uncertain presumed illegitimate homonymous half-sister of
María de Portugal, reina consorte de Castilla y León ?

  • María Alfonso de Portugal, que según algunos genealogistas españoles como Francisco Fernández de Béthencourt​ y Luis de Salazar y Castro​ era hija ilegítima del rey Alfonso IV de Portugal y de una dama de nombre desconocido,​ aunque no aportan ninguna prueba que demuestre esa filiación. ​
  • Pero la mayoría de los historiadores portugueses modernos afirman rotundamente que Alfonso IV de Portugal no tuvo ningún hijo ilegítimo, y argumentan que ello pudo ser debido a las malas relaciones que tuvo con sus propios hermanastros,​ o debido a las buenas y armoniosas relaciones que siempre mantuvo con su esposa, la reina Beatriz de Castilla.​ Sin embargo, las importantes donaciones que le han sido hechas prueban la pertenencia a la Casa Real de Portugal, por via ilegítima, lo que parece confirmado por la falta de elementos a su respecho, podendo tratarse de una hija tardía de Dinis I .
