		The history of this monastery is linked to princess Mafalda (born in 1195) who became betrothed to the teenage prince Henry of Castile: when he died in an accident, Mafalda took the veil in Arouca, became patroness of the convent (now Cistercian) and her wealth and devotion made it very influential.
