Count of Neiva (in Portuguese ''Conde de Neiva'') is a Portuguese title granted, in 1373 by King
Ferdinand I of Portugal, to ''Dom'' Gonçalo Teles de Meneses, brother of Queen
Leonor Telles de Meneses.
''
Dom'' Gonçalo was also Lord of
Faria, and that is why some authors, incorrectly, call him ''Count of Neiva and Faria''.
Later, the County was granted to
Fernando of Braganza and when Fernando became 2nd
Duke of Braganza (1461), Count of Neiva became a subsidiary title of the
House of Braganza.
