Our Lady of the Rosary Brotherhood, from the blackmen, created in 1584, with Pledge confirmed on January 21st 1584. According to Almeida Carvalho this pledge followed the one from 1460, from São Domingos monastery, in Lisbon.

A Breve de Indulgências, dated December the 7th 1698, changes the rules of the brotherhood due the lack of "Ethiopian" (Blackmen), extending it to other citizens.
