Matilda of Savoy (French: Mathilde, Portuguese: Mafalda; 1125-1158) was the first Queen of Portugal. Her husband was King Afonso I, the first sovereign of Portugal, whom she married in 1146. She was the second or third daughter of Amadeus III of Savoy, Count of Savoy and Maurienne, and Mahaut of Albon (the sister of Guigues IV of Albon, "le Dauphin"). Walter Map tells a story that "the King of Portugal now living", almost certainly Afonso, had been convinced by evil counselors to murder his pregnant wife out of misplaced jealousy. However, there is no other authority for this account, and it is not generally accepted. Children Henry (1147 - c. 1157) Infanta Mafalda (1148 - c. 1160) Infanta Urraca (1151-1188), married to King Ferdinand II of León. Sancha (1153-1159) Sancho I, King of Portugal (1154-1212), married to Dulce, Infanta of Aragon (daughter of Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona, and Queen Petronila of Aragon) Infanta Theresa (1157-1218), married to Philip I, Count of Flanders, and next to Eudes III, Duke of Burgundy John (1156) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The House of Savoy was a dynasty of nobles who traditionally had their domain in Savoy (a small region between Piedmont, Italy, and France). They became Kings of Sardinia and later of Italy. Their Kingdom ended with the referendum by which Italians chose the republic as the form of state - see also birth of the Italian Republic. Under the Constitution of the Italian Republic, male descendants of the House of Savoy were forbidden from entering Italy. This provision was removed in 2002. The house descended from Humbert I, Count of Sabaudia (or "Maurienne") (Italian Umberto I "Biancamano"), (1003-1047 or 1048), and includes the Counts of Savoy, the Dukes of Savoy, the Kings of Sardinia, and the Kings of Italy. Piedmont was later joined with Sabaudia, and the name evolved into "Savoy" (Italian "Savoia"). http://en.wikipedia.org
