Research Notes

  1. Since she was born in Portugal, her name at birth was Aldonça Martins da Silva.[4] After she moved to Spain, she was called Aldonza Martinez de Silva.
  2. There seems to be some confusion regarding whether she married Diego Froilaz before or during her relationship with King Alonso, or after the relationship was over. In Nobiliario de D. Pedro, is says that Diego was married to Aldonça, "que tinha sido amiga del Rey D. Afonso de Leaõ" (who had been a friend of King Alonso de León).[4]

Her last name at birth should be changed to Martins da Silva.
posted by Marcie (Korte) Ruiz
If Alfonzo is having children by Alfonso in about 1210 and 1212 then her birth date must be well before ‘about 1200’.
