Count of Penaguião

Coat of Arms of the Sá family, Counts of Penaguião, Marquesses of Fontes and Marquesses of Abrantes.

Count of Penaguião (in Portuguese Conde de Penaguião) was a Portuguese title of nobility, granted by a decree issued by King Philip I of Portugal, on 10 February 1583, to Dom João Rodrigues de Sá.

This family also acquired the marquisate of Fontes in 1659, which was exchanged by the marquisate of Abrantes in 1718.

By a special decree of King John V of Portugal issued in 24 June 1718, Count of Penaguião became a title automatically granted to the Marquis of Abrantes' heir.
