Count Of Lavradio
Count of Lavradio is a Portuguese title of nobility created twice. The first creation was by King Pedro II of Portugal, by Letters Patent of 16 March 1670, for Luís de Mendonça Furtado e Albuquerque, 1st and only Count of Lavradio. Luís de Mendonça Furtado was a nobleman, distantly related to both the Portuguese and Spanish reigning families, a soldier and statesman, with a distinguished career in India where he was nominated one of the triumvirate of interim governors in 1661 and later, in 1670, as the 54th Governor and 31st Viceroy of India. He did not marry and died, childless, while returning to Portugal in 1677. It was through his influence that Lavradio, his birthplace on the left bank of the Tagus River, was raised to the category of a town. The second creation was conferred in perpetuity by King João V of Portugal for D. António de Almeida Soares de Portugal, together with the Seigniory of Lavradio, on 12 January 1714, registered in the ''Registo Geral de M ...

John V Of Portugal
Dom John V ( pt, João Francisco António José Bento Bernardo; 22 October 1689 – 31 July 1750), known as the Magnanimous (''o Magnânimo'') and the Portuguese Sun King (''o Rei-Sol Português''), was King of Portugal from 9 December 1706 until his death in 1750. His reign saw the rise of Portugal and its monarchy to new levels of prosperity, wealth, and prestige among European courts. John V's reign saw an enormous influx of gold into the coffers of the royal treasury, supplied largely by the royal fifth (a tax on precious metals) that was received from the Portuguese colonies of Brazil and Maranhão. John spent lavishly on ambitious architectural works, most notably Mafra Palace, and on commissions and additions for his sizable art and literary collections. Owing to his craving for international diplomatic recognition, John also spent large sums on the embassies he sent to the courts of Europe, the most famous being those he sent to Paris in 1715 and Rome in 1716.

Count Of Avintes
Count of Avintes is a Portuguese title of nobility created by Letters Patent of King Afonso VI of Portugal on 17 February 1664 for D. Luis de Almeida, 5th Lord of Avintes. The title was conferred in perpetuity upon the 4th Count by King José I of Portugal in the same document by which he was elevated to the Marquessate of Lavradio, later confirmed by Letters Patent dated 29 August 1766.

Count Of Torres Vedras
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, and then in the possession of the ''Alcaide-mor'', i ...
