| Summary: | This document comprises a series of administrative records, dated between 1647 and 1662, from the Portuguese Overseas Council concerning a dispute over an appointment in the Estado da Índia. The central subject is the formal complaint of Dom Braz de Castro, who alleges that the Viceroy, Dom Phelippe Mascarenhas, deliberately delayed informing him of his royal appointment as Captain-General of Macau until the eve of the fleet's departure for China in March 1647. The papers include Dom Braz's petition to the Patriarch of Ethiopia, dated 23 June 1648, requesting a formal protest be recorded against the Viceroy, whom he describes as a known enemy, to pre-empt any prejudicial reports. The Council's subsequent consultation, endorsed by Joaõ de Montelmo, Jorge de Lyra, and others, notes the Viceroy's failure to provide an explanation and recommends that the necessary provisions for the favour be issued to Dom Braz. A further fragment contains a notarial certification from Goa, bearing a compass rose monogram, which appears to relate to judicial proceedings in the city. The material is stamped with marks of the Overseas Historical Archive in Lisbon. Anexo: [1647, post. a Abril] - Protesto de D. Brás de Castro a D.
