Duarte Coelho
Duarte Coelho Pereira (c. 1485 – c. 1553) was a nobleman, military leader, and colonial administrator in the Portuguese colony of Brazil. He was the first Donatario (Lord Proprietor) of the captaincy of Pernambuco and founder of Olinda. Biography The birth and childhood of Duarte Coelho Pereira are obscured from history. His father’s name was Gonçalo Coelho, but it is not clear which of six men named Gonçalo Coelho may have sired Duarte. Often biographers have assigned his parentage to either the ''escrivão da fazenda real'' or the fourth ''senhor'' of Felgueiras, however archival and heraldric evidence supports neither of these men nor points conclusively to any of the four other prominent men named Gonçalo Coelho in this period. That he was not noble at birth is suggested in the fact that coeval writers, some of whom would have known his parentage, are silent as to Duarte Coelho’s ancestry. It was common in this era for genealogies to be “adjusted” for famous m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
