Filipa de Almada (1453-1497 CE) was a Portuguese poet and noblewoman.[1][2]
Almada is known to have lived and written during the reigns of kings Alfonso V and John II of Portugal.[1] She was the granddaughter of Philippa of Lancaster, queen of Portugal. Almada married Rui Moniz, a fellow-poet, and they had a son together, Francisco de Sousa Mancias.[3][4]
In the royal court of the time, poetry was a popular skill and pastime; courtiers would frequently participate in poetry competitions.[3] Almada was noted for her skill, and her poetry was included in the 1516 songbook Cancioneiro Geral anthologized by Garcia de Resende.[1][2]
