priorship

Ferrar left the priorship by 1539 and there is little record of him for the next seven years.

Encina held the priorship of Leon Cathedral from November 1523 until his final illness in December 1529.

He joined the Benedictine Order, and held in succession every post of authority in the monastery, the priorship alone excepted.

The beginning of the hermitage's construction began in 1535, during the priorship of Anthony of Padua, and concluded during the administration of Friar Basílio (1573).

Between this years, the church worked like a parish; the house of priorship like a vicarage; the cells like a grade school, like an orphanage from 1919 and like the warehouses of the C.A.P after 1959.

Even as the head of the Order transferred his rule to the parish of Flor da Rosa, in the municipality of Crato, creating the priorship of Crato, the Castle of Belver (and its community) did not progress more than a provincial stronghold.
