Mateus da Cunha 1530 [EN] At present Pombeiro da Beira is a village lost in the landscape of the Serra do Açor. It was once a village and the seat of a municipality with enough economic importance to establish a manor given to the noble family of the Cunhas. In armour in the manner of the first quarter of the 16th century, the 7th Lord of Pombeiro, Mateus da Cunha, lies in prayer on a tomb that, we suspect, was not made for the space it occupies today. [PT] No presente Pombeiro da Beira é uma aldeia perdida na paisagem das faldas da Serra do Açor. Foi outrora vila e sede de um concelho com importância económica suficiente para nela ser estabelecido um senhorio entregue à nobre família dos Cunhas. Armadurado à maneira do primeiro quarto do século XVI o 7º Senhor de Pombeiro, Mateus da Cunha, jaz deitado em oração sobre uma arca tumular que, suspeitamos, não foi feita para o espaço que hoje ocupa.

Fernando in the various campaigns against Castile where he uses the galleys for deep incursions into enemy territory. The links will redirect to the Ko-fi blog. - The Rowers of Atouguia [EN]
