Urraca Henriques

Urraca Henriques (born in Guimarães, 1095[1] - died in Pontedeume, 1173) was an infanta of Portugal, daughter of Henrique de Borgonha, count of Portucale and Teresa de Leão, condessa of Portugal.

[1] She married Bermudo Pérez de Trava, a Galician magnate and member of the House of Traba, the most powerful in medieval Galicia, around 1122.

[2][3] In 1148, her husband commissioned the abbot of the Monastery of San Xusto to build a convent in the village of Nogueirosa near the town of Pontedeume.

Later, in 1150, Urraca donated various assets to the abbot and the monastery on the condition that she and four ladies from her family were admitted as nuns to a convent called Santa Maria de Nogueirosa.

[4][5] Urraca also retired, probably in the same year as her husband, to the monastery in Nogueirosa where she died in 1173 and was buried in the church of her convent.
