Later, the Carta do Couto de Osselôa was discovered that definitely identified both the first document to refer to Portugal as a "Kingdom" and at the same figured in the identification of Albergaria-a-Velha as an administrative unit of the country. The Bishop of Coimbra, D. Egas, in 1258, ordered this document to be transcribed in order to conserve it. Also, because it was the older "Albergaria", owing to the existence of Albergaria-a-Nova, the community began to be referred to as "Albergaria-a-Velha" (meaning Portuguese for "older").
