Fernando Pérez de Traba

Fernando (or Fernán) Pérez de Traba (c.1090–1 November 1155), also Fernão Peres de Trava in Portuguese, was a nobleman and count of the Kingdom of León who for a time holds power over all Galicia.

He becomes the lover of Countess Teresa of Portugal, through whom he attains great influence in that domain, and is the de facto ruler of the County of Portugal between 1121 and 1128.

The Poema de Almería, a Latin poem celebrating one of Alfonso VII's major victories of the Reconquista, records that "if one were to see him [Fernán], one would judge him already a king."
