Teresa was a daughter of nobleman Ansur Fernández and Gontroda Nuñez and sister of Fernando Ansúrez II.^[1] She married Sancho I of León and by him had children, King Ramiro III of León^[2] and Urraca Sánchez.

Teresa was put in a convent on her husband's death,^[3] and her son placed under the regency of her sister-in-law, Elvira Ramírez. However, when a coalition formed by the latter suffered a military defeat at Gormaz in 975, Elvira was forced to step away from her active role in the government, and Teresa assumed the regency until her son achieved his majority.^[2]
