History
In the inquiries of Afonso II of Portugal, Afonso II in 1220, Carvalheira was referred to as "Sancto Pelagio de Carvaleira", and was a "reguengo", i.e. the King's land, which was rented for agricultural products. In 1258, in the inquiries of Afonso III of Portugal, Afonso III, the parish was referred to as "Sancti Pelagii de Carvaleira". It was described as a rich land that produced onions, garlic, wheat, barley, chestnuts, honey and wax, as well as some wine, goats, piglets, and butter. Its inhabitants were obliged to defend the border in Portela do Homem and to deliver wood and boards to assist with building the castle of Bouro.References
