Maria Francisca of Savoy

D. Maria Francisca of Savoy (Marie Françoise Élisabeth; June 21, 1646 – December 27, 1683) is twice queen consort of Portugal as the spouse of two Portuguese kings.

She first becomes queen of Portugal at the age of twenty on the day of her marriage to Afonso VI.

As the marriage is never consummated, she is able to obtain an annulment.

On 28 March 1668, she marries Afonso's brother, the Infante Peter, Duke of Beja, who is appointed prince regent the same year due to Afonso's perceived incompetence.

Maria Francisca becomes queen of Portugal for the second time when Peter succeeds his brother as Peter II in 1683.

She herself dies later this year.
