  • Count of Portalegre is a Portuguese title of nobility created by Letters Patent dated 6 February 1498 by King Manuel I of Portugal granted to D. Diogo da Silva. D. Diogo da Silva was the son of D. Rui Gomes da Silva, Governor of Campo Maior and his wife D. Isabel de Menezes, natural daughter of D. Pedro de Menezes, 1st Count of Vila Real. The 3rd Count of Portalegre, D. Álvaro da Silva, was succeeded by his granddaughter, D. Filipa da Silva, thanks to a royal dispensation of the Lei Mental, which stated that all Crown assets, including titles of nobility, could only be inherited by male primogeniture. Filipa married twice, in both cases with distant cousins. Firstly to D. Pedro de Lancastre, son of the 1st Duke of Aveiro, with whom she had one daughter who died young. Her second marriage was to the Spanish ambassador, Juan de Silva, very influential during the reign of Sebastian I of Portugal and who, on his marriage, became 4th Count of Portalegre and inherited the office of Mordomo-mór. He participated with the Portuguese in the Battle of Alcacer Quibir, where he fell prisoner to the moors. During the transitional reign of Henry I of Portugal, the Cardinal King, he was a firm supporter of Philip II of Spain's claims to the throne of Portugal. The Habsburgs rewarded this House's fidelity with new honours and titles, elevating the 6th Count to the marquessate of Gouvêa, a Portuguese noble title granted by Letters Patent of King Philip III of Portugal, (IV of Spain), dated 20 January 1625). The title of Count of Portalegre was then used by the heir presumptive of the House of Gouvêa. When the 2nd Marquess of Gouvêa died without issue, this assets, honours and titles were incorporated into the House of the Counts of Santa Cruz, with the 5th Count inheriting the office of Mordomo-mor and his eldest son the marquessate of Gouvêa. The 6th Marquess of Gouvêa died without legitimate issue, following the unfortunate trial of his father, 5th Marquess of Gouvêa and 8th Duke of Aveiro, who was found guilty of treason. His inheritable assets were passed on to his cousin, the 3rd Marquess of Lavradio, eldest grandson of his father's sister, whose legitimate issue continues to the present day. (en)
  • Conde de Portalegre é um título nobiliárquico de Portugal. Foi criado por decreto real de D. Manuel I de 5 de fevereiro de 1498, em favor de D. Diogo da Silva, filho de Rui Gomes da Silva, alcaide de Campo Maior, e D. Isabel de Meneses, filha bastarda de D. Pedro de Meneses, Conde de Vila Real em 1424. O título destaca-se por sempre ter tido associado o cargo de mordomo-mor, o mais alto cargo da Corte. Assim, tal como por exemplo os Condes da Vidigueira mais tarde Marqueses de Nisa detinham o cargo honorífico de Almirante da Índia, todos os Condes de Portalegre ocuparam a mordomia-mor de forma hereditária, desde o primeiro conde na corte de D. Manuel I, ao sétimo e último conde na corte de D. Pedro II. O título de Conde de Portalegre destaca-se ainda por ser um dos muito poucos títulos da alta nobreza portuguesa que sempre esteve na mesma família: os Silvas, de origens anteriores à fundação de Portugal no século XII. Em 1625, o 6.º Conde de Portalegre foi feito Marquês de Gouveia. O seu filho, o 2.º Marquês de Gouveia, também 7.º Conde de Portalegre e mordomo-mor, casou duas vezes, a primeira com uma filha do 7.º Conde da Feira, e segunda vez com uma irmã do 1.º Conde de Vila Verde; mas morreu em 1686 sem deixar descendência. A Casa foi então herdada pela irmã, casada com D. Martinho Mascarenhas, 4.º Conde de Santa Cruz. A partir de então, Marquês de Gouveia passou a ser o título principal da Casa, passando o título de conde de Santa Cruz a ser usado pelo presuntivo herdeiro ainda em vida do chefe da Casa. D. António Caetano de Sousa, nas Memorias Historicas e Genealogicas dos Grandes de Portugal (1755), relata principalmente a genealogia dos Marqueses de Gouveia da sua era, de varonia Mascarenhas. Mas Anselmo Braamcamp Freire, nos Brasões da Sala de Sintra, dedicou o primeiro capítulo do Vol. II — o Cap. XIII da obra — à família Silva, incluindo o ramo dos Condes de Portalegre. (pt)
