dbo:abstract
  • Count of Torres Vedras is a Portuguese title of nobility created by King Felipe III of Portugal (IV of Spain), possibly in 1626 (but verifiably so from 1637), for D. João Soares de Alarcão, 9th Alcaide-mor of Torres Vedras and Governor General of the then Portuguese enclave of Ceuta. There is some evidence that the title of Count of Torres Vedras had been already in use by his grandfather, D. Martim Soares de Alarcão who, as 6th Alcaide-mor of Torres Vedras, twice held the town for the king against the armies of the pretender D. António, Prior of Crato, bastard son of D. Luis, Duke of Beja, in 1580 and 1589. It is possible that the title had been given to him as a result of this by Felipe I of Portugal (II of Spain), as some authors contest, but no documentary evidence of this seems to have survived. Furthermore, A title of Count of Torres Vedras, together with the estates comprising the House of Torres Vedras is reported to have been granted in 1580 by D. António to one of his fiercest advocates, Manuel da Silva Coutinho, Fronteiro-mor, in retaliation for D. Martim's defence of the town and his fealty to the king. Manuel da Silva Coutinho was unable to take possession of either and the grant, if it indeed existed or had any legal basis, was never recognised. (en)
