Abstract

Our paper seeks to analyse the performance of the Misericórdia - charity and welfare institution - of Vila Viçosa during the Constitutional Monarchy, and highlights the state of impoverishment of this brotherhood and its fight for survival. In the wake of reduced income, especially with collection constraints and growing expenditure, in the health sector in particular, the Misericórdia was forced to make cuts in several sectors of its activity, while concentrating its efforts in the hospital and facing on several occasions the threat of closing. National political events and their impact on the institution's operations caused it even greater instability. The Misericórdia survived, but was forced to fight a fierce battle.
