Mistranslation of "Morgado"

[edit]

The title of Antonio Botelho Mourão , 3rd Morgado of Mateus is mistranslated as "Count". In fact, the first Mourão of Mateus to have the title of count was the 6th Morgado, pt:José Luís de Sousa Botelho Mourão e Vasconcelos. The title "Morgado" does not seem to have an exact translation in English. It refers to the eldest male in generation of a family. i.e. the patriarch, the heir to the family estate and any associated titles.
