Who was Leonardo Esteves de Nápoles?

Leonardo Esteves de Nápoles was a Portuguese nobleman and military, the natural son of João Esteves and Catarina Esteves.

Because of his deeds in battle, he received an extraordinary amount of Lordships from King Afonso IV: among these were those of Corjas, Penela and Seia. He was also granted full domain over a large extension of land around Braga, known as Veiga de Santa Maria. Because of this, in contemporary sources he is also referred to as Leonardo Esteves da Veiga. These donations made him one of the wealthiest land owners of his time in Portugal.
