Biography

Born in Portugal, he was the firstborn and favorite son of King Denis of Portugal and Aldonça Rodrigues Talha.[3][4] He was also the half brother of Afonso IV.[5] Afonso was married to Teresa Martins Telo, daughter of João Afonso Telo, the first count of Barcelos,[6] and of Teresa Sánchez, an illegitimate daughter of Sancho IV the Brave, king of Castile and León.[7]. They were the parents of João Afonso de Albuquerque.[8]

Afonso and his wife Teresa were the founders of the Monastery of Santa Clara in Vila do Conde where both were buried.[9]
