Marquis of Angeja

Count of Vila Verde (in Portuguese Conde de Vila Verde) was a Portuguese title of nobility created by a royal decree, dated from December 10, 1654, by King John IV of Portugal, and granted to Dom António de Noronha, 12th Lord of Vila Verde. António de Noronha descended from Pedro de Noronha, Archbishop of Lisbon and a grandson of King Fernando I of Portugal (through his mother Infanta Isabel) and of King Henry II of Castile (through his father Alfonso, Count of Noroña y Gigon). In 1833, these two titles were inherited by a collateral branch of the family: the Noronhas, Counts of Peniche.
