childrens marriages says Cezilia de Crasto

per Miguel: Manuel Teixeira was from nobility so he had to marry a woman from nobilty. At his time the Teixeiras were still at the zénith of their power. Tirstão Vaz was the Great Capitão Donatário. António Teixeira was called O Rei pequeno. Lançarote had a horse squad and many men under his command. Tristão das Damas had a small corte. Second to Câmaras, the Teixeiras were then the most powerful family in all the Island. So Cecília de Castro is surely from de Castros of Diogo de Castro, who had lots of lands (datas de terras, says Morgado Pereira de Agrela Nobiliário on the title Castro)
