Count of Viana (do Alentejo) was a Portuguese title of nobility granted to D. João Afonso Telo de Menezes, direct cousin to Queen Leonor Telles de Menezes, by King Ferdinand I of Portugal royal decree, dated from March 13, 1373.
The first count belonged to one of the most powerful families among the Portuguese nobility and, in spite of his support to Beatrice of Portugal's party during the 1383-1385 Crisis, the county of Viana (do Alentejo) remained within his descendency.
