The fourth son of Ruy Freyre de Andrade and Ines Rodriguez de Sotomayor, he belonged to a family associated with the knights of the Orden de la Banda (Order of the Sash) since its founding by Alfonso XI of Castile in 1332. He was married to Dona Sancha Rodrjguez, daughter of Aras Pardo and Tareyga Affonso, and with whom he was known to have had two daughters, Maria and Ines Fernandez, nuns of the Order of Saint Clare, and a son (whose name is unconfirmed, though some sources mention Nuno) who died at an early age, leaving the family without a direct male heir. Pires de Andrade was a knight always ready for battle who enjoyed hunting, poetry and chivalric books, as befitted the tastes of those days. He was a sponsor and protector of the Catholic Church, though it is well documented that he usurped the Church's properties, and abused his power in his domains when it suited him.[citation needed] He sided with Henry II of Castile {Enrique de Trastamara} in Henry's confrontation with his half-brother Peter in the last years of the feud, until Henry's assassination in Monteil.

Cathedral Of The Holy Cross Cadiz Spain

The Cathedral of the Holy Cross is a Roman Catholic church in Cadiz, southern Spain, and the seat of the Diocese of Cadiz y Ceuta. It was built between 1722 and 1838. The Plaza de la Catedral houses both the Cathedral and the Baroque Santiago church, built in 1635. The church sits on the site of an older cathedral, completed in 1260, which burned down in 1596. The reconstruction, which was not started until 1776, was supervised by the architect Vicente Acero, who had also built the Granada Cathedral. Acero left the project and was succeeded by several other architects. As a result, this largely baroque-style cathedral was built over a period of 116 years, and, due to this drawn-out period of construction, the cathedral underwent several major changes to its original design. Though the cathedral was originally intended to be a baroque edifice, it contains rococo elements, and was finally completed in the neoclassical style. Its chapels have many paintings and relics from the old cathedral and monasteries from throughout Spain. In the crypt are buried the composer Manuel de Falla and the poet and playwright Jose Maria Peman, both born in Cadiz. Poniente (or West) Tower, one of the towers of Cádiz Cathedral, is open to the public and shows panoramas of the city from on high.
