Well, I'm still new. So I am assuming Wikipedia wants biographies to at least approximate the quality of other articles. This article as of this writing has no references. Moreover, I see a number of, at least, disputable facts and significant omissions. E.g. Matias was also Governor of Brazil. As the son of Jorge de Albuquerque, the third donatario (Lord Proprietor). who never returned to Pernambuco after being wounded and captured in Morocco in 1578, it is unlikely that the mother of Matias de Albuquerque returned to Pernambuco to give birth to Matias in 1580. Nor, is it likely that Matias learned his military skill in Rio De Janeiro (though I am less certain of this.) I expect to find that he was Governor rather than Lt. Governor of Pernambuco. I have a biography of Matias as well as another source in my library although they are in Portuguese and reading them will be rather slow on my part.P2dwight (talk) 22:54, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
