Biography edit
Born in Portugal, he was the second[1] and favorite son of King Denis of Portugal. His mother was Aldonça Rodrigues Talha.[4][5] He was also half brother of King Afonso IV.[6] Afonso was married to Teresa Martins Telo, daughter of João Afonso Telo, the first count of Barcelos,[7] and of Teresa Sánchez, an illegitimate daughter of Sancho IV the Brave, king of Castile and León.[8] They were the parents of João Afonso de Albuquerque.[9]
Afonso and his wife Teresa were the founders of the Monastery of Santa Clara in Vila do Conde where both were buried.[10]
The Catholic Church opened a cause for the beatification of Afonso and Teresa on 17 January 1723, and the two were formally declared Servants of God.[11]
