14. Facta Carta II, Doc. de Tomar, cited in Viterbo, Elucidario das palavras, 233. The original document is dated 1114. The date on the document is 1152, but in the Iberian Peninsula of the twelfth century, documents were dated “era of Caesar”; only on August 22, 1422, was “anno domini” fully adopted in Portugal. This makes most documents of the period off by thirty-eight years relative to our established calendar, thus the donation was made to the Knights of the Temple in 1114.
