Marquess of Gouveia



Marquess of Gouveia (in Portuguese Marquês de Gouveia) was a Portuguese title of nobility created by King Philip III of Portugal, also known as Philip IV of Spain, by a royal decree dated from January 20, 1625, granted to Manrique da Silva, who already was 6th Count of Portalegre, second male child of the 4th Counts of Portalegre.

The title was extinguished by King Joseph I of Portugal following the Távora affair.

In the late 19th Century, King Charles I of Portugal granted the title of Marquis of Gouveia (as a second creation) to Afonso de Serpa Leitão Freire Pimentel, by a royal decree dated from November 15, 1900 .
