It is generally thought that the name Guarducci was originally a nickname "probably taken from the city of Guarda, but the oldest one known for it is Estêvão da Guarda, secretary of D. Dinis, The Troubadour King (1261-1325.) In remuneration for the many services received from him, D.

On 9-VI-1320 he made a will in the castle of Lisbon, in which he declared that he was a parishioner of Santa Cruz and S.
