Count of Avintes is a Portuguese title of nobility created by Letters Patent of King Afonso VI of Portugal on 17 February 1664 for D. Luis de Almeida, 5th Lord of Avintes. The title was conferred in perpetuity[a] upon the 4th Count by King José I of Portugal in the same document by which he was elevated to the Marquessate of Lavradio,[1][2] later confirmed by Letters Patent dated 29 August 1766.[3]

Background

It is probable that the ancient Seigniory of Avintes predates the foundation of Portugal itself.[4] It is likely that the Seigniory was passed to the Brandão family in 1487,[5] and in 1505, the benedictine Monastery of Saint Thyrsus, which had held it since the end of the XIII century,[6] confirmed the Seigniory had been passed to the Brandão family in the person of Fernão Brandão Pereira, Knight Commander of São Martinho de Guilhabreu in the Order of Christ and a nobleman at the Court of King Manuel I.[7][8] He was appointed chamberlain to Prince Fernando, and was King João III's ambassador to the King of Fez.[7] His heirs would continue to hold important positions at Court.[9][10] His granddaughter and heiress, Isabel Brandôa, 3rd Lady of Avintes, married D. Francisco de Almeida,[5] Knight of the Order of Christ, Captain General of the Portuguese enclaves at Ormuz and Diu, Governor of Angola and General of the Armed Forces in Beira Province.[10] Francisco was from an old, noble family which had reached prominence during the late 14th century.[11] He was a great-grandson of the 2nd Count of Abrantes. His eldest son, D. João de Almeida, nicknamed "O Sábio",[b] had only one surviving child by his wife D. Jerónima de Castro, also named Isabel, who inherited the Seigniory of Avintes. She married her kinsman, D. Luis de Almeida, 5th Lord of Avintes by marriage and 1st Count of Avintes in his own right.[12]

Seal of the 1st Count of Avintes on the regimental depot in the city of Lagos, the then capital of the Algarve. A similar seal can also be found on the regimental saddlery building close by. Both were part of a larger complex built by the Count to support the Lagos infantry units during the War of Acclamation.

Like his wife, D. Luis de Almeida was also descended from the 1st Count of Abrantes but by his second son, D. Diogo Fernandes de Almeida, 6th Prior of Crato. His father, D. António de Almeida, was the head of one of the branches of the important Almeida clan and in addition to his own assets inherited substantial estates from his mother, D. Maria de Portugal, descended from the Counts of Vimioso and the Counts of Castanheira. Luis acceded to his parents' prosperous estate together with his father's commanderies of São Martinho da Lordosa, Soalheira and Bemposta in the Order of Christ.[12] In 1647 he was posted to Brazil as Mestre de Campo of one of the elite regiments of Royal Marines,[c] where he served favourably during the War of Acclamation against Spain.[12] He was later Governor General of Rio de Janeiro and, as a trusted courtier of the Queen Regent, D. Luisa de Gusmão, was given the highly sensitive role of last Portuguese Governor General of Tangiers,[12][13] with the responsibility of managing its transition to English rule in 1662, as part of the dowry of the Infanta Catarina on her betrothal to King Charles II. His experience as a soldier and administrator, as well as his position at Court, earned him the title of 1st Count of Avintes in 1664, during his final administrative posting as Governor General of the Kingdom of the Algarve.[12][14] He was stationed in Lagos, the then capital of the Algarve, between 1663 and 1667, where he also left his mark.

As well as the Seigniory of Avintes, Isabel added significantly to her husband's already considerable estate. Isabel's mother, Jerónima, was the sole heiress in Portugal of D. João Soares de Alarcão, Marquis of Turcifal and Count of Torres Vedras, through whom the 1st Count of Avintes gained extensive lands in Lisbon, Guarda, Santarém, Torres Novas and Torres Vedras, and the Chiefdom of the Name and Arms of the Portuguese Alarcão family.[15]

By his wife Isabel, Lady of Avintes, he had nine children, the eldest of whom, D. António de Almeida, was his heir and successor.[1]

Footnotes

  1. ^ In the original Portuguese: de juro e herdade meaning "in perpetuity and by inheritance", whereby to be inherited a title required no further concession from the Crown or the State, but merely its acknowledgement.
  2. ^ The Wise.
  3. ^ The rank of Mestre de Campo was equivalent to that of a regimental Colonel. D. Luis de Almeida was Mestre de Campo of one of the Terços of the Royal Portuguese Navy. A Terço was an infantry unit, similar to that of a regiment, and the Terços da Armada da Coroa de Portugal were elite infantry units stationed in the navy, equivalent to modern-day fuzileiros or marines, making these Terços the world's third oldest marine corps.
