The 1st members of the Aviz dynasty are buried at Batalha Monastery

The Aviz-Beja rest in Hyeronimite Monastery in Lisbon in wonderful marble tombs supported by elephants - enlarge the photo

For those who can read portuguese, I recommend Paulo Dias book "Real Panteão dos Bragança: arte e memória". Porto: Antília Editora, Dezembro de 2006.
ISBN 972-99612-9-8.
It deals specially with São Vicente de Fora church but has a 1st chapter showing all the tombs (known) of the kings from the Burgundy and Aviz dynasties.
And of course Malcolm Howe “The Braganza Sory” with lots of photos from São Vicente de Fora
