Isabel of Coimbra
摘要
Queen Isabel of Coimbra (c. 1432–1455), daughter of Prince Pedro (1392–1449) and his wife, Isabel of Urgell (c. 1408–1469), married Afonso V (1432–1481) at an early age. Living through turbulent times, Isabel faced adversity at court due to the disgrace of her father, once regent for her husband, who took up arms in civil war. Isabel is connected to the first translation of Christine de Pizan’s Le Trésor de la Cité des Dames [The Treasure of the City of the Ladies] to Portuguese, either by being the translation’s commissioner or by being the destination of the said translation.
