Abstract

This study revisits the pages of a brief chronicle, written in the Alcobaça Monastery, about the participation of its abbot, D. Estêvão de Aguiar, in the political events that led the infant D. Pedro, Duke of Coimbra, to take the regency of the kingdom of Portugal at the end of 1439. The composition of chronicle sources in Portuguese medieval monasteries is discussed, and the identification of the author is proposed of the chronicle pages involved in this article and this composition is integrated into the context of the administration of the Cistercian abbey by the prelate.
