Almada, Filipa de (fl. 15th c.)
Almada, Filipa de (fl. 15th c.)
Portuguese poet and noblewoman. Lived in Portugal.
Her nobility and stature in the Avis dynasty afforded Filipa de Almada the luxury of being an educated woman in 15th-century Portugal. She lived and wrote under the rule of Portuguese kings Alphonso V (1438–1481) and John II (1481–1495). Almada's poetry appeared in Garcia de Resende's Cancioneiro Geral (General Songbook, 1516), an anthology of Spanish and Portuguese poetry of the time, which is called "palace poetry" because its audience and authors were largely royalty.
