Bartira

Bartira (also known as M’bicy, Burtira or Isabel Dias) (1497-1580)[1] was the daughter of Tibiriçá, Chief of the Tupiniquim people of Piratininga and other tribes.

Bartira took the name Isabel Dias and married a Portuguese man, João Ramalho[2], whose settlement became the nucleus of the modern Brazilian city of São Paulo[3].

She and Ramalho had a number of children who married into prominent Portuguese/Brazilian families. Through her daughter, Joana, she is an ancestress of Queen Silvia of Sweden[4].
