When the young commander of the guard declared his love for her, she rejected him simply because his frivolity startled her. "See how simple he is," she told Amaranta. "He says that he’s dying because of me, as if I were a bad case of colic."

Ms. Maria da Conceição Brito has recently surpassed the final age of Ms. Maria da Encarnação Nunes de Sousa (1909-2022), making her the 3rd oldest Portuguese person of all time!
And the 4th oldest ever born in Portugal, since Maria Jorge Esteves de Almeida is older and lives in Brazil.

@filipe93 Very true, maybe I should have been a bit more specific in my previous post. Here's to hoping that Ms. Maria Jorge Esteves de Almeida becomes the 3rd person born in Portugal to reach age 114 later this month!

April 13th was the last list with 31 names.
February 16th, 2025 was the last list with 2 names from Viseu here.
July 7th, 2025 was the last list that Santarém did not have 2 names, as Joaquina Guilhermina was only added on July 24th, 2025; before that, she was unknown.
