The leading men who were here with Gonçalo Pereira were: Dom Afonso Henriques, Luis Freire de Andrade, Jorge de Sousa his uncle, Andre Pereira de Berredo, Dom Leonis Pereira the son of the Count of Feira, Dom Luis Pereira, Manuel Furtado Machado, Sebastião Machado, Diogo Nunes Pedroso, Vasco de Reboredo, Leonel Pereira, Francisco da Cunha, Cristovão de Araujo Evangelho, and many other noblemen and knights.
