1752. Carta de António Rodrigues Leitão, padre para Francisco Luís Gião, padre.

Author(s) António Rodrigues Leitão      
Addressee(s) Francisco Luís Gião      
In English

Request letter from António Rodrigues Leitão, a priest, to Francisco Luís Gião, alsoa priest.

The author asks the addressee to confirm that António da Silva Freire has remarried. He also comments on the preparations for an upcoming bullfight which he does not intend to witness.

António da Silva Freire was a rope maker who married twice. His first wife, Guiomar Inácia, had gone from Vila Viçosa to Lisbon in seek of health care and he never heard from her again. When he met Maria Rita, from Estremoz, he wanted to marry her so he tried to have a death certificate from the hospital in Lisbon where Guiomar Inácia had been treated. He was given one, although for a woman with a slightly different name, Guiomar das Neves. He was sentenced to seven years in the galleys. He also testified that he had been continually sodomized by the master who taught him his trade, but such accusation was not investigated by the Inquisition.
