He was the son of Dom Álvaro de Ataíde, captain and governor of the Maluku islands between 1567 and 1560, by his wife D. Jerónima de Castro do Canto. He was thus a great-grandson, in the paternal line, of another Dom Álvaro de Ataíde, Lord of Castanheira (second-born son of the 1st Count of Atouguia), a participant in the conspiracy of the Duke of Viseu against King John II of Portugal.
