About Infanta Philippa of Coimbra
Lived 1435 – 1497 (aged 61–62). Infanta Philippa of Coimbra was a nun.
Infanta Philippa of Coimbra (1437–1497) was the second youngest child of Infante Peter, Duke of Coimbra, and Isabella of Urgell, Duchess of Coimbra.
She joined the dominican convent of los Santos, where many daughters of the portuguese nobility were raised and educated, without taking the habits and being therefore allowed to get married. She moved later to the Convent of Odivelas, from where she took care of the goods and possessions of her father, during war times between 1466 and 1468. From her marriage with Joan Colom Bertran a son was born, Ferran Colom. Philippa of Coimbra died in 1497.
