Afonso always supported the Habsburg kings and even after the Portuguese revolution of 1 December 1640, he remained faithful to the Spanish Dynasty.
Later, by a decree issued on 23 March 1642, King Philip granted him the titles of Duke of Abrantes and Marquis of Sardoal. However, as Philip IV was no longer King of Portugal, they were never recognise by the Portuguese authorities.
Afonso's son, Agustin de Lancastre Padilla y Bobadilla (1639- ? ), inherited his father's House and honours, namely the title of Marquis of Porto Seguro, which still exist in Spain as Marquis of Puerto Seguro (Spanish spelling) as a Spanish title. This title was never recognized by the Dynasty of Braganza.
