Summary "D. Joanna de Portugal (A Princesa Santa)" by Marques Gomes is a biographical account likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around D. Joanna, a royal figure whose life is notable for its intertwining of noble duty, tragedy, and piety. The book delves into her experiences from her birth in Lisbon in the 15th century, her upbringing, and eventual defiance of royal expectations as she seeks a life dedicated to God and service to the poor. The opening portion of the narrative outlines D. Joanna’s early life and character, highlighting her birth as a princess and the societal implications that came with it. It describes the joy and expectation surrounding her arrival, the subsequent loss of her mother, and the impact that her royal lineage had on her upbringing. From an early age, D. Joanna is depicted as both intellectually gifted and morally inclined, embodying compassion and charity, dedicating herself to the welfare of those less fortunate. The passage hints at her struggle against the constraints of her royal status, as she ultimately yearns for a spiritual path, which leads to significant developments throughout her life, setting the stage for her later decisions and the perception of her as a "Santa" or saintly figure.
