Antão Martins Homem

His son, Álvaro Martins Homem III, became the third Donatary-Captain of Praia, and married Beatriz de Noronha.

Antão Martins processed many of the residents of Praia for constructing mills, and not paying him for that service.

[6] Finally, the ouvidor Vasco Afonso decided (as acting captain in 1487), that Antão Martins should construct four mills, and repair the ones in Agualva.

[6] But, since this was not accomplished the residents returned to the ouvidor, this time Afonso de Matos, who ordered their construction in three months in 1491.

[6] But, even then, the Donatary-Captain did not comply, and it was resolved that the residents could mill in their places for six months (May to October), when there was less water.
