| Summary | "Chronica de El-Rey D. Affonso II" by Ruy de Pina is a historical account written in the early 16th century. This work narrates the reign of King Affonso II of Portugal, detailing the political and military events, as well as the religious undertones of his leadership. The text likely explores themes of power, conflict, and the complexities of familial relations, given that the initial chapters discuss disputes between King Affonso and his sisters. The opening of the chronicle presents a rich backdrop for the narrative, beginning with the ascension of Affonso II to the throne after the death of his father, King Sancho, and his subsequent marriage to Queen Dona Orraca. It establishes the initial conflicts within the royal family, particularly involving his sisters and the inheritance of territories promised by their father. Ruy de Pina introduces the historical context by mentioning key events such as battles and disputes with neighboring realms, illustrating the challenges faced by the king and the loyalties that shaped the early years of his reign. This introduction sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Affonso's life and reign, emphasizing both his military endeavors and the intricate family dynamics that influenced his rule.
