No! Afonso Henriques actually went to war against his own mother, Teresa. The conflict ended in the Battle of São Mamede on June 24, 1128. Afonso led the Portuguese faction against his mother’s troops and those of her partner, Fernão Peres de Trava, to secure the independence of the County of Portugal and push out Galician influence.
