 On 20 December 1421, the king determined that the Moorish residents that did not respect the contract between the prelate, cabido and population, should be obliged to pay 100 reis fine, which were then applied to the construction of the walls.Yet, even by the Cortes of Lisbon (1446), the "Bracarense" procurators continued to complain that the population continued to pay for the city walls, whose construction was suspended.They attributed these complaints to the King's uncle, Afonso, 1st Duke of Braganza, who was the project's comptroller, and public works in the comarca of Entre Douro e Minho.
