"Chronica de el-rei D. Affonso Henriques" by Duarte Galvão is a historical account written in the early 16th century. The text chronicles the life and accomplishments of D. Affonso Henriques, the founding king of Portugal, intertwining facts with legends that narrate his valorous campaigns against the Moors as well as detailed accounts spanning origins, family lineage, and the establishment of early Portuguese territory. At the start of the chronicle, the author presents a rich historical and legendary backdrop, introducing the prominent figure of D. Affonso Henriques. The narrative begins with the circumstances of the king's birth and his mother's request for a nobleman, D. Egas Moniz, to care for him. It emphasizes the trials faced by Henriques in his youth, including his struggle against both personal and political adversaries such as his mother and her subsequent marriage that complicates his claim to power. The opening sets the stage for an exploration of a young king's rise amid conflict while providing context for his future battles and making a compelling introduction to the legendary narratives surrounding his reign.
