The document, written in the diplomatic style characteristic of eighteenth-century letters of arms, certifies the nobility and gentility of lineage of Domingos Duarte Rodrigues Guimarães, a professed Knight in the Order of Christ and Familiar of the Holy Office, a native of the parish of S. João da Ponte, in the district of Guimarães. The petitioner proves descent, through his paternal line, from the Machados and Oliveiras families, nobles of lineage with known arms and ancestral home in the Kingdom of Portugal, and requests the preservation of the coat of arms of these families for use in all civil and military acts according to the law of nobility. The granted coat of arms features: a gules shield with axes and a green olive tree with fruit, accompanied by elements of the arms of the Machados and Oliveiras families; a silver helmet, garnished with the appropriate colors and crests. The document includes a complete heraldic description of the elements, an indication of the families from which they originate, and a clause of recognition by the Auditors, Judges, and other justices of His Majesty. Each folio features high-quality decorative framing with polychrome floral ornaments, giving the whole the character of a carefully illuminated, ceremonial object. The folio containing the coat of arms itself boasts a complete heraldic composition with supporters, helmet, crest, and lambrequins, all in color. Document of genealogical and heraldic interest, relating to a family from Minho with a noble tradition. Unusual. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
