The family started with D. Egas Muniz, branch of the first King of Portugal, founder of the monastery of Carquere, next to which is the fifth of D. Arnaldo Rezende, the solar family. D. Martin Afonso de Baião was the first that used the surname of Rezende, who was landlord of his mother descended from D. Ramiro II, who died in 950, king of Leon).[4]
