Mécia Lopes de Haro Royalty

Mécia Lopes de Haro (c.1215–1270) was a Castilian/Biscayan noblewoman, the wife successively of count Álvaro Pérez de Castro and of King Sancho II of Portugal. The subsequent annulment of her marriage by Pope Innocent IV has led to disagreement over whether she should be counted among the Queens consort of Portugal. She played a central role in the Portuguese political crisis of 1245.
