List of Portuguese royal consorts

Many of them were highly influential in the country's history, either ruling as regents for their minor children or having a great influence over their spouses.

Elizabeth of Aragon, who was married to Denis, was made a saint after there were said to have been miracles performed after her death.

The husband of a Portuguese queen regnant could only be titled king after the birth of any child from that marriage.

Maria II's second husband was a prince until the birth of their first child, Pedro V. At that point he became jure uxoris king.

Maria I's husband, Pedro III, was king automatically after his wife's accession because the couple already had children.
