[10] These may perhaps be by the so-called Master of São Bento, to whom are attributed a 'Visitation'--in which Chastity, Poverty, and Humility follow the Virgin--and a 'Presentation,' both now in Lisbon. Some paintings in São Francisco Evora seem to be by the same hand. [11] Misericordia=the corporation that owns and manages all the hospitals, asylums, and other charitable institutions in the town. There is one in almost every town in the country. [12] She seems almost too old to be Dona Leonor and may be Dona Maria. [13] His first wife was Dona Isabel, eldest daughter and heiress to the Catholic Kings. She died in 1498 leaving an infant son Dom Miguel, heir to Castile and Aragon as well as to Portugal. He died two years later when Dom Manoel married his first wife's sister, Dona Maria, by whom he had six sons and two daughters. She died in 1517, and next year he married her niece Dona Leonor, sister of Charles V. and daughter of Mad Juana. She had at first been betrothed to his eldest son Dom João. All these marriages were made in the hope of succeeding to the Spanish throne. [14] Some authorities doubt the identification of the king and queen. But there is a distinct likeness between the figures of Dom Manoel and his queen which adorn the west door of the church at Belem, and the portrait of the king and queen in this picture. [15] It has been reproduced by the Arundel Society, but the copyist has entirely missed the splendid solemnity of St. Peter's face. [16] See 'Portuguese School of Painting,' by J. C. Robinson, in the _Fine Arts Quarterly_ of 1866. [17] Vieira Guimarães, _A Ordem de Christo_, p. 150. [18] _Ibid._, p. 157. [19] Carriage hire is still cheap in Portugal, for in 1904 only 6$000 was paid for a carriage from Thomar to Leiria, a distance of over thirty-five miles, though the driver and horses had to stay at Leiria all night and return next day. 6$000 was then barely over twenty shillings. [20] It was the gift of Bishop Affonso of Portugal who held the see from 1485 to 1522. [21] This monstrance was given by Bishop Dom Jorge d'Almeida who died in 1543, having governed the see for sixty-two years. (Fig. 7.) [22] Presented by Canon Gonçalo Annes in 1534. [23] D.

Such capitals were common in Spain, so it is just possible that these tiles may have been made in Spain.
