Issue
Afonso de Albuquerque had a bastard son from an unknown woman. He legitimized the boy in February 1506. Upon his death he asked king Manuel I to leave him all his wealth and that he took care of his education. When Albuquerque died, king Manuel I renamed the child "Afonso" in his father's memory. Brás Afonso de Albuquerque, or Braz in the old spelling, was born in 1500 and died in 1580.

For them the gracious Duncan have I murdered;
Put rancors in the vessel of my peace
Only for them; and mine eternal jewel
Given to the common enemy of man,
To make them kings, the seeds of Banquo kings!”
