Urraca of Portugal (Coimbra, 1118, 1149 or 1151–1171 or 1188; pron. IPA: [u'ʁakɐ]), was a Portuguese infanta, daughter of Afonso I, 1st King of Portugal and his wife Maud of Savoy. She married Ferdinand II of León (c. 1165) with whom she had Alfonso IX of León. This marriage didn't prevent her father King Afonso I of Portugal from declaring war on his son-in-law. This short war culminated in disaster when Afonso was captured in Badajoz. Perhaps due to his marriage to Urraca, Ferdinand was generous to Afonso, and let him leave. However, Ferdinand II of León repudiated Urraca in 1175, using the fact that Urraca was his distant cousin as justification.
