D. António Luís de Sousa, 2nd Marquis of Minas and 4th Count of Prado (6 April 1644 – 25 December 1721) was a Portuguese general[1] and colonial administrator, Governor-General of Brazil from 1684 to 1687.

The following years, he fought the Spanish in the northern Minho province, becoming a general in 1665 after the conquest of the galician town of A Guarda.

This trade accord was followed in December 1703 by a military alliance between Portugal, Austria, the Netherlands and Great Britain against Philip, the French candidate for the Spanish throne.

Tilly invaded Alentejo and took Portalegre, and the Spanish general Villadarias took Castelo de Vide.

In October 1705 a first invasion of Spain was launched under the command of Henri de Massue, 1st Earl of Galway and the Marquess of Minas.

Minas was replaced as commander of the Portuguese troops in Spain by his nephew Pedro Manuel de Ataíde.
