Biography

Born in Santarém,Шаблон:Sfn when Blanche was two years old, her father gave her, as a perpetual donation, the city of Montemor-o-Velho with the condition that it would revert to the crown upon her death or in the event that she married outside of Portugal.Шаблон:Sfn Following the footsteps of her great-aunt, queen Theresa of Portugal, Queen of León and other female members of the royal house and nobility, she went to live at the Monastery of Lorvão in 1277 although at that time she was not a nun and was never the abbess of this religious establishment.Шаблон:Sfn

In 1282, she accompanied her mother, Queen Beatrice, to Castile,Шаблон:Sfn due to differences with her brother King Denis of Portugal and coinciding with the conflict between her maternal grandfather, King Alfonso X and infante Sancho, the future King Sancho IV.Шаблон:Sfn There is documentary proof that mother and daughter were living in 1283 in Seville with the kingШаблон:Sfn who in his will mentioned his granddaughter Blanche and left her a substantial sum for her marriage.Шаблон:Sfn
