Wikipedia,
Teresa d'Entença (c. 1300 – 20 October 1327)[ was the eldest daughter of Gombald d'Entença and his wife Constance of Antillón. She was Countess of Urgell in her own right; however, control over her estate passed to her husband, Alfonso IV of Aragon.

Biography
Before dying childless at La Llitera, Teresa's granduncle Ermengol X of Urgell agreed to make Alfonso heir to the County of Urgell, on the condition that Alfonso marry Teresa, who was his rightful heir. Alfonso agreed to this and he married Teresa in 1314 in the Cathedral of Lerida. Alfonso is reputed to have been so liberal in the expenses during the wedding, that the local counsels imposed restrictions on how much he could spend.

Teresa died whilst giving birth to her son Sancho on 20 October 1327 at Zaragoza, only days before her husband became king of Aragon. She is buried at Zaragoza Franciscan Church.[2] Her younger son James inherited Urgell.

Issue
Alfonso and Teresa were married for thirteen years, and had seven children:

Alfonso (1315–1317)
Constance (1318–1346), married in 1336 to James III of Majorca.
Peter IV (1319–1387), successor.
James I, Count of Urgell (1321–1347), also inherited Entença and Antillon.
Isabella (1323–1327).
Fadrique (1325-died young).
Sancho (1327), lived only a few days.

Under Wikipedia from the Franciscan friary of Zaragoza:

This magnificent church contained the tombs of some prominent figures, since there rested the generous founder of the building, the infante Peter of Aragon, who was son of King Peter III of Aragon "The Great" and brother of king James II of Aragon "The Just", having died prematurely in 1296 in Castilian lands while fighting in favor of the infantes of la Cerda.

Was also buried in the church of the convent Queen Teresa d'Entença, which was the first wife of the king Alfonso IV of Aragon "The Nice" and the mother of Peter IV of Aragon "The Ceremonious", resting besides along said queen her children Isabel and Sancho, who died in infancy. This queen died in 1327 while giving birth to her son Sancho, and was buried a side of the chancel and in a mausoleum of marble supported by six lions with her effigy in dress of religious and with figures crying around the tomb. And the tombs of her sons were painted on wood, being the infanta Isabel dressed of clare and the infante Sancho with a garland and the hair loosed.
