For thousands of years, Portugal has been the point of arrival and departure for peoples, cultures, languages, ideas, fashions, behaviours, beliefs, institutions and produce. While its miscegenation and global multimodal activity enriched the world in many ways, it also provoked violence, war, suffering and resistance. The Global History of Portugal contains 93 chapters grouped into five parts: Pre-history, Antiquity, Middle Ages, Early Modern period and Modern World. Each chapter begins with an event, interpreted in the light of global history. Each part opens with an introduction, offering a perspective of the period in question. The three Editors, five Scientific Coordinators (João Luís...
This book gives a definite contribution to a wide-ranging reflection on the medieval parish and the secular clergy, considered within a long-term chronological framework and a wide geographical scope that allows the analysis and confrontation of case studies from the Iberian kingdoms, Northern France, Italian Piedmont, Lombardy, Flanders, Transylvania, and North of the Holy Roman Empire. The chapters published in this book tells of dynamics of social, religious, and cultural exclusion and inclusion within lay communities, of the constitution of family elites and parish confraternities; it shows the composition and the recruitment rationales of the parish clergy and of some ecclesiastical chapters with a duty of Cura animarum; it examines the relations of the churches and parochial clergy with more prominent – secular and regular – ecclesiastical institutions in the context of the establishment and exercise of the right of patronage; finally, it explores the role of the secular clergy in the application of justice, based on the characterization of their cultural and juridical formation.

De onde vem o gosto pelos romances ou novelas ou livros de cavalarias? Antes de tudo, de sua natureza fantasiosa – permeada de monstros, gigantes, fadas, castelos, animais estranhos, acontecimentos miraculosos, e de sua apologia do heroísmo guerreiro – com um exército de cavaleiros que, além de vassalos fiéis e imbatíveis, são em geral belos e perfeitos amantes. Mas esses ingredientes aliciantes, pura ficção, estão intrinsecamente plantados na História de seu tempo e são, por isso mesmo e como qualquer boa literatura, uma poderosa fonte de conhecimentos do Homem e da sociedade que o rodeia. Basta conferir a diversidade temática dos artigos reunidos neste livro.
À partir des chroniques nobiliaires d'époque trastamare, cette étude cherche à établir comment la guerre était vécue et racontée en Castille au XVe siècle. Les deux premiers chapitres portent sur les conditions de production de ces textes, et abordent les problèmes posés par la mise en récit de l'expérience vécue. Les trois suivants montrent que la culture de guerre est alors largement partagée au sein de la noblesse, sans considération de genre ni de statut : femmes et clercs n'en sont pas exclus. En revanche, le discours sur la guerre construit une forme d'exclusivité nobiliaire qui se manifeste dans le traitement narratif réservé aux combattants roturiers. Le dernier chapitre aborde enfin le combat dans une perspective anthropologique, en s'attachant au corps et aux émotions du guerrier.
