The Rio Mondego (Mondego River) is the biggest river exclusively in Portuguese territory.
The Shipyard was founded on September 1944 and is located by Figueira da Foz, at the mouth of Mondego River, in the centre of Portugal.
Mondego even warns his trusting pal that his own intentions aren't always honorable when he says, "It's a pity the adventurous can't always be friends." And one would think that even an illiterate sailor like Dantes would realize that accepting a letter from the exiled Napoleon just might get him into trouble.

Fernand Mondego’s change of name to Count de Morcerf is, on one level, merely a sign of his ascent into the realm of power and prestige.
Yet, since Mondego pretends that Morcerf is an old family name rather than merely a title he has purchased, the name-change is also a symbol of his fundamental dishonesty.
Fernand Mondego's history is now known by at least a few people in France, and it is only a matter of time before it becomes widespread public knowledge.

It is located at the mouth of the Mondego river, 40 km west of Coimbra, and sheltered by the Serra (mountain) da Boa Viagem.
It is a coastal city with several beaches, summer and seaport facilities in the Atlantic Ocean coast.
Knowing the great importance rivers had in the development of cities and of ancient civilizations, the mouth of the Mondego must have played a central role for the fixation of men in this region and for the formation of settlements, which were the beginning of the city of Figueira da Foz.

From rubbing his many affairs in Mercedes' face to his casual dismissal of his teenage son Albert (Henry Cavill), Mondego is a scoundrel that begs for punishment.
