Ontem como hoje, o poder e o estatuto são marcas inconfundíveis da experiência humana. Neste livro, estes temas são analisados no contexto do final da Idade Média em Portugal a partir de um estudo de caso – o percurso da linhagem dos Lobo. Originários da cidade de Évora, os Lobo souberam aproveitar os momentos de crise e conflito para ascenderem política e socialmente, em especial através do apoio dado aos reis da dinastia de Avis. Ao patrocínio régio associaram o controlo do poder local, que consolidaram através da participação em redes familiares e de dependência, formularam uma memória coletiva que os unia e constituíram uma base patrimonial que lhes permitiu manter um estilo de vida prestigiante. Contudo, os vários ramos da linhagem dos Lobo tiveram sucessos desiguais, com os senhores de Alvito a serem os que mais foram favorecidos pelas voltas da roda da fortuna. Desta maneira, os Lobo são um caso exemplar de mobilidade social ascendente no final da Idade Média portuguesa, dos mecanismos de consolidação e reprodução do poder, das fontes de prestígio e legitimação do estatuto social. Acompanhar o percurso dos Lobo é surpreender as lógicas estruturadoras e as dinâmicas da sociedade e do poder tardo-medievais.

No presente volume publicam-se parte dos textos apresentados na 1ª edição do International Congress for Young Researchers in Middle Ages. Reflectindo a própria estrutura do ICYRMA, os trabalhos agora publicados abordam a Idade Média a partir de várias perspectivas - da iconografia à análise territorial, do estudo da sociedade ao debate historiográfico, discutindo questões específicas de várias geografias, como a francesa, portuguesa, espanhola ou italiana. Os textos são, todos eles, da autoria de jovens investigadores, mestrandos, doutorandos, ou tendo obtido o seu grau recentemente. Pretende-se assim contribuir para uma dinamização multidisciplinar dos estudos medievais.

Assuming Évora and the Lobo family as case studies, this dissertation aims to contribute to increase the knowledge about the caractheristics of the urban elites during the portuguese late middle ages and to develop such questions as the constitution, organization, reproduction and consolidation of this elites, which in cases such as this would even lead to the ennoblement of the lineage in the last decades of the 15th century.
The analysis will be based in an enquiry divided into three main vectors: the power, the proximity to the political centers and the participation in the events of the period; the lineage, the development of family and social relationships and of a collective memory; finally, the property, the material basis that would help to support the social status of the lineage.

The death of king Fernando of Portugal in October 1383 without male heirs opened a suc-cesion crisis. Despite the studies that have been made concerning the composition of the factions that supported the various pretenders to the throne, in special about the participation of town elites and nobility , there are still few contributions on the participation of the clergy in the conflict. This is a matter of great importance, given the religious character of the royal power in the legitimation of kings and dynasties, in particular in a period marked by the Schism of the Catholic Church. Therefore, starting from the list of signatories and witnesses of the acclamation act of João I, made in the cortes of Coimbra in 1385, our aim is to analyse the participation of the clergy in the fight for the throne, identifying the main protagonists of each party and the reasons for their positions, as well as the consequences for their later ecclesiastic and political careers.

With this project I aim to understand the process by which the south of the Kingdom of Portugal, namely the region known today as Alentejo, witnessed the constitution of areas of seigniorial domain during the Late Middle Ages, especially after the ascension to the throne of the dynasty of Avis, and its meaning for the political culture of late medieval Portuguese monarchy. For this, I seek to know the geographic distribution of these areas; the nature of the jurisdictional powers and rights granted; to identify the receivers of these donations and confirmations made by the king; as well as the relation between the formation and consolidation of these areas and the acquisition of property. At the same time, I intend to analyze the changes in the network and relations between the local powers of the region. Finally, the comparison of the case of Alentejo with other regions of Portugal and the Iberian Peninsula, such as Castile and Aragon, may help to a better understanding of the singularities or parallels of Alentejo relatively to its surrounding regions.

Com o Encontro “Comunicação política e diplomacia no final da Idade Média” que tera lugar na Universidade de Évora nos días 17 e 18 de novembro de 2016 pretende-se realizar um estado da questão da história da diplomacia medieval, uma temática em processo de renovação metodológica, tendo em atenção aspectos como as novas tendencias historiograficas, a grande diversidade de fontes disponíveis (literatura, arquivos, correspondencia…), a sociología dos protagonistas (eclesiásticos, nobres, letrados, mercadores…) e os diversos contextos políticos que exerceram diplomacia (papado, reinos, ciudades…). Para tal reuniram-se alguns dos principais especialistas europeus, protagonistas dessa renovação historiográfica, bem como jovens investigadores portugueses e espanhois com projetos em curso na área finaciados pelo Governo de Portugal.
