Araújo

His name also appears in a scroll dated 1139, in which he is mentioned together with other nobles involved in the reconstruction of a church in the south of Galicia.

[1] Iohannes Tirante would be the son of a Galician nobleman named Fernando Annes, with a French woman of noble origin, a descendant of the royal houses of France and Borgoña, probably one of the daughters or granddaughters of king Philip I of France, or of Duchess Hidegard of Burgundy.

That fits perfectly with what the chroniclers say, because Iohannes Tirante would fight in this battle, in which he, his father, relatives and friends would defeat Afonso Henriques.

From the marriage with Dona Mayor Garces de Asa, Iohannes Tirante had at least one son, named Xoán Annes, who was Captain of Arms in the reign of Afonso VII.

A lot of things have been named after the Araujo surname, such as lands; neighborhoods, streets, valleys, buildings, businesses, a plant, etc.
