Born in 1080 in the County of Portugal, Egas Moniz was a rich nobleman, member of the five major families of Entre-Douro-e-Minho of the 12th century, to whom Henry, Count of Portugal, entrusted the education of his son Afonso Henriques, [2] a task that gave the nickname by which he became known.
Egas was the eldest son of Moninho Viegas, o Gasco, [1] who is generally considered the founder of the House of Ribadouro. His mother's name is unknown. From his patronymic, it is possible to say that his paternal grandfather was called Egas, probably Egas Moniz, a name that would become quite common in the family (in fact, it was the name of his eldest brother and heir to the house).
