Miguel, you said: >>2. Diogo Rodrigues Escórcio (fez testamento em 1533). m. Juliana Giraldes, dau, of Gerlado Anes , and sister of Gaspar Rodrigues teixeira (who had a coat of arms for Teixeiras inm 135r). sons of Lourenço Rodrigues teixeiram and g. sons of "The Gordo." I'm sorry, I'm lost again. Juliana Giraldes is the daughter of Geraldo Anes & sister of Gaspa Rodrigues Teixeira, correct? Who then exactly are the sons of Lourenco Rodrigues Teixeira and grandsons or "The Gordo"?? _____ From: Miguel de Castro Henriques [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 08, 2010 12:52 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Pachecos if the Rodrigues de Gouveia and João Rodrigues Escórcio was ( Licenciado Francisco Rodrigues de Gouveia) João Rodrigues Escórcio is a key figure for understanding the emergence of the Pacheco name in the Rodrigues de Gouveia. Let us see why, 1. He appears as "testemunha" in Rui Chamorro ( son of F.co Rodrigues de Gouveua and brites CVhamorra) with Isabel Leal. 2. He appears as testamenteiro, in Gaspar Rodrigues de Gouveria (brother of Rui Chamorro) will. Testamenteiros were normally relatives. So he is a figure close to this family. Because he is relative? probably- Let's see João Rodrigues Escórcio genealogy. 1. João Rodrigues Arraes, Escudeiro FCR, An interesting Arrais because he is supposed to be the first Arrais in madeira. He wrote his "testamento" in 1517, He was the administrator of a Capela in Sintra, Portugal. je married Leonor Escórcio, dau. of our well known the Magnificent João de leiria and Isabel Eanes Escórcio. tehy had. 2. Diogo Rodrigues Escórcio (fez testamento em 1533). m. Juliana Giraldes, dau, of Gerlado Anes , and sister of Gaspar Rodrigues teixeira (who had a coat of arms for Teixeiras inm 135r). sons of Lourenço Rodrigues teixeiram and g. sons of "The Gordo." 3. João Rodrigues Escórcio m. Maria Pacheco " (Here is the Hare!), dau. of Àlvaro da Fonseca and Isabel Pacheco - This later was the dau of Pedro de Escobar and Margarida Pacheco (title Escobar). Note - margarida pacheco was the g. dau, of Gomes Pacheco, Fidalgo da Casa Real. IMO the Rodrigues de Gouveia used the Pacheco name just because of this Gomes Pacheco, a very illustrious figure. So my conjecture is that the Pacheco that the Rodrigues de Gouveia used for two generations is this one, comes from that Gomes Pacheco. and no other. In a next mail we'll have a look at the Escobares. Not jews, but from old Spanish families of first magnitude.

I mean probably the ghost of Meneses Vaz paralyzed them. So they co-opted. They compromised, and instead of her full name they just wrote Beatriz Chamorra, but they conceded the Dr,.(instead of Licenciado) to Francisco Rodrigues de Gouveia. Now there was for sure an archi-famous Licenciado Francisco Rodrigues - never referred as de Gouveia - around 1555 and 1557. He was corregedor, ( corregedor da Capitania da Cidade do Funchal, Procurador das Capellas, Orphãos e Resíduos e fazenda, etc. com larguissimos poderes e Alçada, porque além das Corregedroias das Comarcas lhe dá a do Capitam (a do Zarco) and in short, he had more power than the "Capitam" of Madeira who naturally was a Gonçalves Zarco . That corregedor became famous not only because of his actions, but because he had majestic powers as no one had before him. He was "governador, ouvidor e Vedor da fazenda. He had at his service as "escrivão" and "chanceler da correição" Jerónimo Vieira, moço-fidalgo, and more personnel. Anyway during the period of time that Francisco Rodrigues had the government he ruled the three "Capitanias" of Madeira archipelago. (More than Jardim today!) ; -))) > So, uisnng your argument all the ARM is guaranteeing is that she is a > Beatriz Chamorra. Not only that, even more important than that, the ARM is guaranteeing that Francisco Rodrigues de Gouveia is "de Gouveia" and Licenciado, and historically speaking he is infinitely more important than Beatriz Chamorra. But one point not clarified remains. Is the famous corregedor Francisco Rodrigues the same as Francisco Rodrigues de Gouveia? That's one of the major points to be cleared. As Francisco Rodrigues is quite a common name there could be, there could even be two Licenciados with almost the same name, no big deal. > Now, you and I, know that the possibility of another Francisco > Rodrigues Gouveia, Licenciado marrying a Beatriz Chamorra at this time > in Funchal, Madeira is highly improbable. > And that would be almost absolutely improbable.

Juliana > Giraldes, dau, of Gerlado Anes , and sister of Gaspar Rodrigues teixeira > (who had a coat of arms for Teixeiras inm 135r). sons of Lourenço Rodrigues > teixeiram and g. sons of "The Gordo." > I'm sorry, I'm lost again. > Juliana Giraldes is the daughter of Geraldo Anes & sister of Gaspa > Rodrigues Teixeira, correct? > Who then exactly are the sons of Lourenco Rodrigues Teixeira and grandsons > or "The Gordo"?? > Cece, II I remember well, "O Gordo" (wife unknown) had 3 sons and one daughter. For the moment I'm on another computer. I'll come back later to this. The coat of arms was for Teixeiras (reference PA, in the Rodrigues Arrais title) was given in 1536, not 135r, of course. Night lapsus. One more detail for "O Gordo", besides being a FCR (Fidalgo da Casa Real - nobleman of the Royal Household, a much coveted title) he was "Cavaleiro da Ordem de Cristo". Knowing that the "Ordem de Cristo" is somehow the heir of the "Templars" this is thrilling. We have better than the Da Vinci Code at hand. Anyway, as "O Gordo", was a FCR and Knight of the O.C. above him (in social standing) there were just a very few persons - only the three Capitães- Donatários, wifes and sons. Only very recently I discovered several lines (3 or 4) going to Lourenço Rodrigues Teixeira, (I had two to "O Gordo", through another son). So now I'm stalking "O Gordo." On other hand he is said to be a cousin of Tristão Vaz, not of the wife of Tristão, Branca Teixeira. He is also said by some gene.s to be cousin of the Portocarreiros. The fact that Gaspar was granted a coat of arms of the Teixeiras may prove that he is from the old Teixeiras from Portugal. The fact that he is a cousin of Tristão Vaz may demonstrate that Tristão Vaz was also a Teixeira, though he was known in his day just, as Tristâo da Ilha, or Tristâo Vaz da Ilha, and not Tristão Vaz Teixeira. Or was he a cousin by the mother's side? Never mind. It gives a family to Tristão Vaz,who looked as coming out of the blue. Interesting point: Tristão Vaz was granted a coat of arms. Quite beuatiful. A Phoenix. The alchemical bird, rising from the flames. However, his sons and daughters preferred to used th coat of asrms of the Teixeiras, much more trivial. (Not in symbolism, just because there are many with that symbol: a cross). On other hand the Grandmaster of the Ordem de Cristo was the Infante D.Henrique himself, to whom Madeira belonged. So probably "O Gordo" was the hand of the Infante over Madeira. Of that era he was certainly one of the most heavy weights. Curiously his 4th g.sons, just used Rodrigues. So recently I decide to check some Rodrigues from Gaula and Campanário, and to my surprise, bingo, they lead directly to Lourenço RT, hence to the "O Gordo." This Rodrigues T. , from Gaula as far as I can see linked mainly with the Matas. They ended being known as Rodrigues de Gaula. All about Gaula, in that era is gothic, linked to the cycle of Romans d'Amour and Chivalry - That's why I have a special interest in that region. Besides, it is still said today: in Gaula lived the fairest women from Madeira." Great "Gordo" ! A direct responsible for this wonderful state of affairs ; -))) Miguel PS. The gene of these Rodrigues Teixeira as well as the genes of the Teixeiras of Tristão Vaz proved to be quite democratic and prolific. Nowadays, there is hardly any madeiran who is not a descendant of one of them. > > ------------------------------ > *From:* Miguel de Castro Henriques [mailto: > [email protected]] > *Sent:* Friday, January 08, 2010 12:52 PM > *To:* [email protected]; [email protected] > *Subject:* Pachecos if the Rodrigues de Gouveia and João Rodrigues > Escórcio was ( Licenciado Francisco Rodrigues de Gouveia) > > João Rodrigues Escórcio is a key figure for understanding the emergence of > the Pacheco name in the Rodrigues de Gouveia. > > Let us see why, > > 1.
