Abstract
A mostra documental “Dominus Rex: as inquirições medievais dos reis de Portugal” pretende assinalar a passagem dos 800 anos sobre as primeiras inquirições gerais ordenadas pelo rei Afonso II de Portugal, em articulação com um colóquio internacional onde se procurou evidenciar a importância destes inquéritos régios para o conhecimento do passado do reino português, mas também o seu significado no contexto mais amplo do Ocidente medieval e de similares iniciativas promovidas por outros poderes – régios, principescos, senhoriais ou eclesiásticos – no âmbito de processos de afirmação dos respectivos poderes e de defesa das suas prerrogativas, bens e direitos.
The documental exhibition “Dominus Rex: the medieval inquiries of the kings of Portugal” seeks to mark the passage of 800 years from the time of the first general inquiries ordered by King Afonso II of Portugal. This exhibition is held in conjunction with an international conference through which it is sought to demonstrate the importance of these royal inquiries for the knowledge of the past of the Portuguese kingdom; but also their significance in the wider context of the medieval West and of similar initiatives undertaken by other powers – royal, princely, baronial or ecclesiastical – in the context of processes for the assertion of these respective powers and the defence of their prerogatives, assets and rights.
