De Nápoles distinguished himself as a diplomat and later as member of the Privy Council of King John I of Portugal. Later in life, de Nápoles founded the Honour of Molelos, a major lordship which would survive until the Liberal triumph of 1848.

Marriage and children De Nápoles married Leonor Anes de Vasconcelos, daughter of Dom João Rodrigues de Vasconcelos, the Chief Governor (Mordomo-Mór) of King Afonso IV, and wife Constança Soares. They had one son, Henrique Esteves da Veiga de Nápoles, and two daughters, Catarina Anes da Veiga, first wife of Pedro Rodrigues Juzarte, and Margarida, wife of Vasco Pimentel and Luís Pereira.
