Gama is created Count of Vidigueira as a seigneurial grant

On 29 December 1519 Gama was created Count of Vidigueira. The dated seigneurial grant is not the 1499 admiralty honour and not the 1524 viceroyalty. Vasco da Gama’s documented role is: Manuel I created him first Count of Vidigueira, transferring a titled estate. The crown granted; local tenants already existed; he did not uniquely invent Portuguese countships. A 1519 countship is a landed title. Later editors, printers, and excavators remain named where they appear.
