António Botelho Homem Bernardes Pessoa

António Botelho Homem Bernardes Pessoa (born December 22, 1749 in São Jorge de Arroios , Lisbon , Portugal , † 1810 in Portuguese Timor ) was governor of Portuguese Timor and Solor .

Botelho was named Fidalgo da Casa Real ( nobleman of the royal house ). In 1771 he married Rosa Maria da Silva Ferrão in Macau . With her, Botelho had two daughters.

With the rank of lieutenant captain ( capitão-tenente ) Botelho died in 1810, the same year in which he took office on April 14 in Portuguese Timor. A government council ( Conselho Governativo ) took over the fortunes of the colony. It consisted of Dom Gregório Rodrigues Pereira , the Liurai of Motael , Lieutenant Colonel ( tenente-coronel ) Joaquim António Veloso and José de Anunciação , the bishop who was residing in Manatuto at the time . The new governor Vitorino Freire da Cunha Gusmão , who arrived in 1812, first had to assert himself against these parties.
