BLESSED THERESA OF PORTUGAL
Theresa (Theresia) was the wife of King Alphonse of Portugal, whom she had to leave because of consanguinity. [The marriage was annulled because they were cousins.] She died a saintly death at the Cistercian monastery of Lorvan [in 1250].
[Theresa was beatified in 1705.]
