Biography
Teresa Portugal was a member of the aristocracy in Europe.
Princess Teresa de Portugal was born in 1176 in Coimbra, Portugal. Her parents were Sancho I King of Portugal and Princess Dulce Raimundez of Aragon.[1]
She was married to Alfonso I, King of Leon in 1191. Teresa bore the King three children but unfortunately, her marriage was anulled on the basis of consanguinity. Specifically, her relation to the King as his cousin was considered incestuous and the marriage was invalidated.[2]
After her marriage was invalidated, Teresa returned to Portugal to the Convent at Lorvao, Coimbra, Portugal. She died in the convent on June 17, 1250.[3]
Teresa was beatified by Pope Clement XI on 13 December 1705.[4]

Portugal-15 and Portugal-5 appear to represent the same person because: dates may need adjustment, but, I believe these were intended to be the same person
