"Trovas do Bandarra" by Gonçalo Anes Bandarra is a collection of prophetic verses, presumably composed during the mid-16th century. This work is a significant representation of Portuguese literature and encapsulates the turbulent historical context of Portugal during this period, reflecting themes of hope, prophetic insight, and national identity. Bandarra wrote these verses as a response to the pressing social and political circumstances of his time, specifically addressing the longed-for return of a legitimate Portuguese king, often referred to as the "Rei Encuberto" (Hidden King). The text is rich in religious and historical symbolism, featuring various prophetic dreams and visions that predict the resurgence of a strong ruler and the restoration of Portugal's glory. Bandarra, who was a humble cobbler by trade, portrays himself as a voice for the common man, weaving his prophecies with profound concern for his nation's plight. The verses combine elements of pastoral reflections and social commentary, illustrating the struggles and aspirations of the Portuguese people. As such, "Trovas do Bandarra" serves both as a literary and historical document, encapsulating the zeitgeist of a nation in search of redemption and identity amid a complex backdrop of societal upheaval.
