Nunes

The first individual of this surname mentioned in Madeiran chronicles was called Fernão Nunes, and he lived in Gaula, having married Helena de Góis, daughter of Lançarote Teixeira, the fourth son of Tristão Vaz, the first lord of Machico. In the first quarter of the 16th century, there lived in Porto Santo a Bartolomeu Nunes, who was the father of the false prophet Fernão Nunes, whom we will discuss elsewhere in this Elucidário.
