Coins, Weapons, and Sumptuary Objects: The Treasury of the Monarchs of Portugal in the First Two Centuries of Its Existence
Keywords:
Treasury, armoury, jewels, silver tableware, reliquaries.
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to make a first approach to the composition and evolution of the royal treasure from the death of the first king of Portugal, Afonso Henriques, in 1185, to the death of the last king of the first dynasty, Fernando I, in 1383. During these two centuries, we notice that the importance of coins, precious metals and armoury decreases among the mobile goods the kings and their wives transmit to their heirs, and offer to their officials, their dependents, and the monasteries and churches they protect as patrons; the relevance of sumptuary objects grows accordingly.Downloads
