Afonso Henriques. In 1419 it was still from the border of Sert, but it did not take long to achieve a relative autonomy, which at that time was granted to all the small villages of the country.The Prior of Crato, D. Vasco de Atade, with a view to benefiting a protg of the monarch more than to execute an act of administration of real interest to his Order, gave in 1448 Pedrgo Pequeno de emprazamento, with all the civil and criminal jurisdiction, rents and jurisdictions, to Diogo da Silveira, private clerk and advisor to King D. Afonso V, which elevated it to the category of a village.The municipality was made up of the parishes of Carvalhal and Pedrgo Pequeno. It was suppressed in 1834.
