Alfonso IV
Due to his constant presence in the curia regis, most of his estates, purchased or donated by the King, were situated along the Tagus in the Santarém District as well as in Lisbon and surrounding areas. As compensation for his services to the royal family and for having raised two of the infantes, he received the lordship of Ferreira de Aves from King Alfonso IV "... and was raised by King Alfonso IV from his natural status as a knight to the category of "rico-homem", jointly with his son Diogo Lopes Pacheco".
