Knights d'Avis.

IN the Year of our Lord Don Al∣phonso Henriquez, first King of Portu∣gal, gained from the Moors the City of Evora; and for the fortifying and se∣curing of this Garison, he sent thither several brave Commanders, who took upon them the Title of Knights of St. Mary of E∣vora, who not long after were called Knights d' Avis from a Castle of that Name, seated on the Frontiers of Portugal, which the King gave to Ferdinando de Yannes, Master of Evora, to which Castle he and his Brethren removed from Evora. The Badge of this Order is a green Cross flory, like those of Calatrava. They took upon them the Rule of St. Benedict; and none were to be admit∣ted into this Order, but such as were Gen∣tlemen by the Fathers and Mothers side two Descents.
