Sob a Égide de Fernão Lopes

Description

Opinion article on the importance of Fernão Lopes's chronices even in our present days. Not only has he recorded probably the most significant moments of Portuguese history, but also because the city of Lisbon itself is a reminder of that narrative, as many features mentioned in the chronicler's works still surround anyone walking about the city. Such reflections serve to announce the colloquium "Sob a Égide de Fernão Lopes", with presentations by Portuguese and British medievalists who produced the first complete translation, of his chronicles into English. The event would be taking place at the National Archive of Torre do Tombo, the 21st-century 'home' of the chronicler's works.
