Anceriz , sometimes also Anseriz , is a place and a former municipality in Portugal .
history
The place name is probably of Gothic origin. Anceriz was officially documented for the first time with its mention in a deed of donation from 1185, when the area came to Pedro Afonso Viegas (grandson of Egas Moniz ) and his wife Urraca Afonso (illegitimate daughter of the first king of Portugal, D. Afonso Henriques ).
Anceriz belonged to the district of Santa Maria de Avô , which according to the registers of 1258 was directly under the king. Later the king gave the area to the bishops of Coimbra .
With the dissolution of Avô County in 1855, Anceriz became part of Arganil County.
In the course of the administrative reform in 2013 , the municipality of Anceriz was dissolved and merged with Vila Cova de Alva .
administration
Anceriz was the seat of a municipality of the same name ( Freguesia ) in the district ( Concelho ) of Arganil in the Coimbra district . 146 inhabitants lived in the municipality on an area of 4.23 km² (as of June 30, 2011).
The community only consisted of the eponymous place.
In the course of the territorial reform of September 29, 2013 , the municipalities of Anceriz and Vila Cova de Alva were merged to form the new municipality of União das Freguesias de Vila Cova de Alva e Anseriz . Vila Cova de Alva became the seat of the municipality.
