D Afonso IV — O Rei que Enfrentou a Peste Negra

King Afonso IV of Portugal is known in history as "the Brave." But his reign was much more than the Battle of Salado. In this episode, we explore the life of one of the most complex kings of the first Portuguese dynasty: the wars with Castile, the humiliation of his daughter Maria, the great victory against the Marinids at the Battle of Salado, the reforms in justice, the judges from outside the region, the first Portuguese Atlantic voyages, the arrival of the Black Death in Portugal, and the political drama that culminated in the death of Inês de Castro. For more than thirty years, King Afonso IV ruled Portugal with austerity, discipline, and firmness during one of the most difficult periods of the Middle Ages. He was the king who confronted the plague when many were fleeing. He was the king who helped launch Portugal into the Atlantic. And he was also the king who authorized one of the most tragic episodes in Portuguese history. In this historical documentary, we delve into the reign of King Afonso IV with historical rigor, medieval context, and cinematic narrative. Medieval sources, historical chronicles, and contemporary research. The history of Portugal told in a visual and immersive way.
