1696. Carta de Violante Fernandes para o seu sobrinho, António Gomes Penteado, almocreve.

Autor(es)	Violante Fernandes
Destinatário(s)	António Gomes Penteado
In English	Family letter from Violante Fernandes to her nephew, António Gomes Penteado, muleteer. The author asks her nephew for help to find out if her son-in-law is a bigamist, as the recipient traveled a lot to Lisbon. She also asks that, if her suspicion is confirmed, her other children do not give a tragic end to a possible meeting with their brother-in-law. Manuel Dias, also known as “o Gatinha”, was a skipper in Santarém, his hometown. He was accused of bigamy, since he got married in Ceuta, while his first wife was still alive. Maria da Cunha and Manuel Dias met in Ceuta, where they got married. Then they moved to Cádis, since Ceuta was considered a dangerous city, under a siege ordered by the Alawite sultan, Moulay Ismail. After two years without news from him, however, his wife's family decided to investigate his whereabouts, contacting his family in his hometown. During the fair of Virtudes, a village in Azambuja, António Gomes met Manuel Dias and asked him if he knew Maria da Cunha. Manuel Dias was unable to lie and ended up recognizing his crime of bigamy. Two letters were handed in by Manuel Vieira, familiar of the Inquisition, and were included in this Inquisition file. The identity of the participants in the letter PSCR0388 is conjectured. If there is no translation for the letter itself, you may copy the text (while using the view 'Standardization') and paste it to an automatic translator of your choice.
