Excerpt from Abridgement of the History of Portugal Quarrel between Tereza and Urraca her mien - Upon the death of Henry, Tereza began to assume sometimes the queen' title, till at length she took exclusively this title. Tereza had inherited the ambi tion of her husband, and she determined to outstand in the work of independence commenced by him. She seemed, how ever, to acknowledge Urraca's supremacy; which'fshe clearly showed in 1115 at the cortes of Oviedo. But this submission was very temporary.
