Her marriage was celebrated (in the Tournai Cathedral, Bruges) after the death of Elisabeth of Vermandois, first wife of Philip, who hadn't give him any children, and was due to the fact that Philip needed an heir so that his county wouldn't fall in French hands. In the other hand, Portugal, a new-born country, managed to secure an important alliance with Flanders and European recognition. Teresa brought a considerable dowry, something that helped Philip manage his war with France for a couple of more years, before making peace in 1186.

She interseded favourably with the king of France, for the marriage of her nephew Infante Fernando of Portugal with her grand-niece Jeanne, Countess of Flanders.
