Tradition tells us that the guardians of the Yebora Muslim fortress were an old Moorish chief and his daughter. Both lived in a high and round tower where the vast plain around could be seen. Day and night they rotated on the lookout where the vast plain around could be seen. Day and night they rotated on the lookout, alerting the laborious population for the breaks of the daily routine especially because Christians have long ventured closer and closer. After studied how the guardians make the observation on the top of the fortress he made a plan to take the fort. He first kill both without mercy or feelings, he was so fast that he did not give time to them time to alarms, even from a gesture. Giraldo installed himself as the master of great Yeboraand decided to deliver it to the King who he was vassal to, despite the apparent freedom of movement he enjoyed. So he ordered to one of his squires, Pedro Alvares Cogominho, to take the keys of the city to Coimbra where Afonso Henriques (first King of Portugal) had his cort, and this one, in return for his invaluable service, appointed him Captain-General of Évora…Maybe the ghost of the man without fear still protect the city of Évora.
