Pedro Soares de Sousa, also known as ''Pero Soares de Sousa'' exercised the role of the third Donatary-Captain for the island of Santa Maria, between 1571 and 1573 (he was preceded in his post by João de Marvão, as the lieutenant of João Soares de Sousa), as well as between 1576 and 1580 and succeeded by Jerónimo Coutinho. He should not be confused with his descendant and seventh Donatary-Captain of Santa Maria, who in a testament dated 12 February 1634, referred to his 1616 ascendancy to the stewardship of Santa Maria. ==Biography== He was the son of João Soares de Sousa and Guiomar da Cunha (daughter of Francisco da Cunha de Albuquerque and Brites da Câmara, cousins of Afonso de Albuquerque). Raised at Corte, he was known as a man of character and charity, as was his father. He was a knight in the Order of Christ and commander of São Pedro do Sul. While still young and single he had a daughter, Concórdia de Sousa, who became a nun, taking on the name Concórdia dos Anjos.〔Adriano Ferreira (1996), p. 104〕 On the island of Madeira, he married Beatriz de Morais, daughter of João de Morais and Catarina Fernandes, bearing five children: * João Soares de Sousa (c. 1560 -?), a monk in the Order of Saint Jerome (or Hieronymites); * António Soares, who departed for India; * Henrique de Sousa, who later died; * Brás Soares de Sousa (1570–1634) 5th Donatary-Captain, who married Doroteia de Melo; * Ana de São João, who became a nun in the Convent of Nossa Senhora da Esperança, in Ponta Delgada. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pedro Soares de Sousa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
