Who was bartolomeu dias mother and father?

Answer 1

The exact information may be available in an archive in Portugal. But historians in Portugal believe Bartolomeu Dias [c. 1450-May 29, 1500] to have been the descendant of a seafaring line. He may have been the relative of Dinis Dias, who was one of those navigators who has been credited with discovering the Cape Verde Islands in the mid-15th century. And Bartolomeu Dias may have been the relative of Joao Dias, who was among the first Portuguese explorers to prove that there was a sea route around and past Cape Bojador, in present Morocco. Historians list Diogo Dias aka Diogo Gomes, and Pero Dias, as brothers of Bartolomeu Dias. The former was one of those navigators who has been credited, along with Antonio Noli [1415-1497, or 1419-1491], aka Antonio da Noli and Antoniotto Usodimare, for discovering the Cape Verde Islands off the coast of Senegal. Information on Diogo under the last name of Gomes gives dates of about 1420, to about 1485 for him. If those dates are correct, then Diogo was about 30 years older than Bartolomeu. So Diogo may have been Bartolomeu's father, or a relative other than within the direct, nuclear family. Pero commanded the supply ship for the expedition that Bartolomeu Dias pioneered around the Cape of Good Hope, in 1487-1488. Sources tend to identify Pero as having discovered the Isle of St. Lawrence, or the present Madagascar, in 1500. But a few sources credit Diogo with that discovery. One of Bartolomeu's two sons was ka Simao Dias de Novais. Novais is a parish in Vila Nova de Famalicao, which is a municipality in the northern Portuguese district of Braga. The ending de Novais may indicate that the Dias' family home was originally there.

Answer 2

The precise information may be available in an archive in Portugal. Or it may be documented through the Catholic Church, since Bartolomeu Dias [c. 1450-May 29, 1500] was Catholic. Portuguese historians indicate that the navigator may have been descended from a seafaring line. They indicate that he may have been a relative of Dinis Dias and of Joao Dias, both of whom distinguished themselves in the earliest known European explorations off the respective coasts of Senegal and Morocco, in the mid-15th century. But precise dates aren't given for either of these early explorers. Historians identify Diogo Dias aka Diogo Gomes [c. 1420-c.1485] and Pero Dias as Bartolomeu's brothers. Pero commanded the supply ship to Bartolomeu's expedition of 1487-1488 around the modern Cape of Good Hope. Diogo and Antonio Noli, aka Antonio da Noli and Antoniotto Usodimare [1415-1497, or 1419-1491] were among those navigators credited with the discovery of the Cape Verde Islands off the coast of Senegal. But Diogo was 30 years older than Bartolomeu. Was he instead Bartolomeu's father? If so, then his death date has been given as around 1485. That still leaves the question of Bartolomeu's mother. No suggestions are readily available as to either her name or her birth and death dates. But one of Bartolomeu's sons, Antonio Dias de Novais, married a relative. So it's possible that Bartolomeu was related to his wife, and that the same could be said of his parents. The addition of 'de Novais' to the last name of Bartolomeu's son may indicate that the family home for the ancestors of Dias family members, and of their respective spouses, was in Novais, which is a parish in Vila Nova de Famalicao, a municipality in the northern Portuguese district of Braga. Information on Bartolomeu Dias' ancestry wasn't something that was passed down through the generations of a family line. For Dias' line went extinct with his great granddaughters, Dona Paula de Novais and Dona Violante de Castro, neither of whom married or left any known children.

Answer 3

Portuguese historians describe Bartolomeu Dias [c. 1450-May 29, 1500] as the member of a noble family. They also indicate that Dias may have been descended from a line of seafarers. And they suggest that he may have been related to Dinis Dias and Joao Dias, who distinguished themselves in navgating off the coasts of Senegal and Morocco, respectively. What with the social status of his family, and the achievements of his ancestors, Dias would have been welcome in the higher circles that interacted with the monarch. And indeed Dias' parents were able to afford to send their son to the Royal Court, at Lisbon. Once there, Dias became a member of the royal household, and started his education in the skills that he would need to be an effective, successful navigator. Dias was close in age to his monarch, King John II [1455-1495]. They may have gotten to know each other early on, what with shared space and possibly shared tutors.

Answer 4

Yes. Information on the particulars of the marriage of Bartolomeu Dias [c. 1450-May 29, 1500] are unknown. But Portuguese historians have shared information on Dias' descendants. For Dias fathered at least two known children. Simao and Antonio. The last name of both sons was Dias de Novais. The phrase 'de Novais' is Portuguese for 'from' or 'of' Novais. Novais is a parish of Vila Nova de Famalicao, which is a municipality in the northern Portuguese district of Braga. And so Novais may have been the ancestral home of the Dias family. Simao Dias de Novais died unmarried, and childless. Antonio Dias de Novais became a Knight of the Order of Christ. In a ceremony in Novais, Antonio married Joana Fernandes, whom Portuguese historians described as her husband's relative, in an unspecified way. Joana's parents were Fernao Pires and Guiomar Montes. Her brother, Brites Fernao Pires, also used 'de Novais' in conjunction with his last name. And so the ancestral home of one or both of Joana's parents also may have been Novais. Antonio and Joana had two children. In 1575, their son, Paulo Dias de Novais, led the colonization of Portuguese West Africa, which became the modern nation of Angola. Their daughter, Guiomar de Novais, became the second wife of Dom Rodrigo de Castro, who was the son of Dom Nuno de Castro and Joana da Silveira. Guiomar and her husband had two children, Dona Paula de Novais and Dona Violante de Castro, both of whom died unmarried, and childless. Guiomar married, as her second husband, Pedro Correia da Silva, who was the natural son of Cristovao Correia da Silva. The couple had no children. And so the line of descent from the famous Portuguese navigator ended with his two unmmaried, childless great granddaughters.

Answer 5

The information may be available in an archive in Portugal. Bartolomeu Dias [c. 1450-May 29, 1500] was Catholic, and so the information may be available within the records of the Catholic Church. But the information hasn't been passed down through generations of family history. For Dias' direct line went extinct with his great granddaughters, Dona Paula de Novais and Dona Violante de Castro, neither of whom married or had children. What Portuguese historians have shared is the likelihood that Dias was descended from a line of seafarers. They also have shared the likelihood that he was related to Dinis Dias and Joao Dinis, both of whom distinguished themselves off the coasts of Senegal and Morocco, respectively, in the first half of the 15th century. Was the relationship one of parent and grandparent to the navigator who made possible independence from the Middle Eastern middleman, and trade with India? Portuguese historians have gone on to share the likelihood that Dias was brother to Pero Dias, and to Diogo Dias aka Diogo Gomes [c. 1420-c. 1485]. Pero commanded the supply ship to Bartolomeu's expedition of 1487-1488 around the modern Cape of Good Hope, off the coast of South Africa. And Diogo was known as one of the navigators who discovered the Cape Verde Islands, in the decades before Bartolomeu's birth. In fact, Diogo was about 30 years older than Bartolomeu. And so it's possible that he was Bartolomeu's father, or uncle. And, lastly, one possible clue for tracking down Dias' ancestors lies in the names of his only two children, Simao and Antonio. For both sons had the last name of Dias de Novais. Novais is a parish of Vila Nova de Famalicao, which is a municipality of the northern Portuguese district of Braga. Simao died unmarried, and without children. Antonio married a relative. Did Dias and his father do likewise with their spouses? In that case, success in finding a Dias or a spouse could unlock the key to the entire genealogical picture of the seafaring family.
