Matias De Albuquerque
Matias de Albuquerque, Count of Alegrete (Olinda, colony of Brazil, 1580s – Lisbon, Kingdom of Portugal, 9 June 1647) was a Portuguese colonial administrator and soldier. He was nicknamed "Hero of Two Continents" for his performance, beginning in 1624, against the Dutch invaders of colonial Brazil (Captaincy of Pernambuco) and for his role, beginning in 1641, as a general in Portugal, fighting for king John IV during the Portuguese Restoration War, where he won the battle of Montijo over the Spaniards in 1644.

Senhor
''Senhor'' (, abb. ''Sr.''; plural: ''senhores'', abb. ''Sr.es'' or ''Srs.''), from the Latin ''Senior'' (comparative of '' Senex'', "old man"), is the Portuguese word for lord, sir or mister. Its feminine form is ''senhora'' (, abb. ''Sr.a'' or ''Sra.''; plural: ''senhoras'', abb. ''Sr.as'' or ''Sras.''). The term is related to Spanish ''señor'', Catalan ''senyor'', Occitan ''sénher'', French ''seigneur'', and Italian ''signore''. Originally it was only used to designate a feudal lord or sire, as well as being one of the names of God. With time its usage spread and, as means of differentiation, noble people began to use ''Senhor Dom X'' (as when referring to the kings or members of the high nobility), which translates literally in English as "The Lord, Lord X". In 1597, King Philip I issued a decree standardizing the noble styles in use in the Kingdom of Portugal. ''Sua Senhoria'' (translated as ''His Lordship'' or ''Her Ladyship'') was the prescribed manner of addr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
