Teresa Vazquez de Acuña

Vázquez de Acuña, Teresa . Portugal, fs XIII - Toledo, 1345. Noble, mistress of Pedro I.

Portuguese lady, daughter of Vasco Martínez de Acuña, Lord of Taboa and of Señorina Fernández Chanciño, widow, in the first nuptials, of Rui González de Portocarrero.

She spent her childhood in the neighboring country, being promptly married to Fernán Gómez de Toledo, Fernando IV's senior waiter and senior notary of the Kingdom of Toledo. With him she moved, before 1298, to live in Toledo, to the manor houses that her husband owned in the parish of San Antolín and which were rehabilitated and expanded by marriage thanks to a considerable donation in cash from the King himself.

During her marriage, she led a life appropriate to her status as a lady of the Toledo high aristocracy, taking care of her family, since she had seven children, but also of property and community assets, due to the continuous absences of her husband in the service of the King, whom he served as a private advisor and ambassador, in addition to performing his courtly offices.

Her husband died in 1331, leaving her in a still young widowhood. His character and training did not go unnoticed at the Court, where the Toledan Martín Fernández de Toledo, Lord of Orgaz, had been appointed, in 1334, tutor of the newborn Infante Pedro, first-born of Alfonso XI, and where they were, as vassals of the King, his eldest sons, who already enjoyed very high status, as evidenced by the fact that they were armed knights of the Order of the Royal Band of Castile in 1332. All this influenced her to be appointed by Alfonso XI as mistress of the Infante Pedro, a position that it occupied until his death, which occurred before the future King's coming of age. Thanks to his ancestry in the Infant's Court, his children and grandchildren were occupying privileged positions, to the point that, in 1350, with an adolescent King of legal age, his son Gutierre Fernández de Toledo was appointed the King's chief guard, and Pedro Suárez Vázquez, chief waiter, while his grandson, Pedro Suárez de Toledo, was chief pastry chef, and Diego Gómez, chief lieutenant. Family power also influenced the arrival of another of his sons, Vasco Fernández de Toledo, to the archdiocese of Toledo.

She led an aristocratic life thanks to the community properties that she had acquired with her husband, which were joined by acquisitions of urban estates and commercial exploitations such as the iron and coal inn, the Calahorra inn, where bread was sold, and other stores in the Alcaicería de Toledo.

His services were even posthumously compensated, in the privileges granted to his descendants by Pedro I.

Although she had to move her residence from Toledo, since her ancestral homes were donated to her eldest son by her husband, when he died she wanted to be buried in the parish of San Antolín, where they were, in the funeral chapel where her husband rested.
