Provas Da Votiva Acçaõ Do Primeiro Monarca De Portugal

<p>Provas Da Votiva Acção Do Primeiro Monarca De Portugal explores the historical context surrounding King Afonso Henriques' promise to found and endow a Cistercian monastery. This promise was made during the march to capture Santarém with the king vowing to God that if through the intercession of Saint Bernard he became master of the fortress he intended to attack he would establish the monastery. This book likely delves into the religious and political motivations behind this vow and its significance in the early history of Portugal. It examines the relationship between the monarchy the Church and the military campaigns of the time. The work sheds light on the spiritual beliefs and practices of the 12th century offering insights into the role of religious figures like Saint Bernard in shaping historical events.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
