Sá Nogueira de Figueiredo was born in Santarém in 1795 to Faustino José Lopes Nogueira de Figueiredo e Silva (1767–1830) and Francisca Xavier de Sá Mendonça Cabral da Cunha Godinho (1772–1829).[1] Sá Nogueira de Figueiredo supported the liberal party during the Liberal Wars (1828–1834), and took part in the landing at Mindelo in July 1832.[1] He fought in the Siege of Porto and was wounded in his right arm, which had to be amputated.

Sá da Bandeira was Minister of the Navy in the government of José Jorge Loureiro (1835–36).[2] He was Prime Minister of Portugal for five terms:
