Produced by Pedro Saborano (produced from scanned images of public domain material from Google Book Search) "O Máo Rei e o Bom Subdito: Um Trecho da Historia Portugueza" by Unknown is a historical account written in the mid-19th century, specifically in 1851. The book delves into a tumultuous period in Portuguese history, focusing on the reign of King D. Sancho II, his unfit leadership, and the consequences of his actions on the kingdom. It examines themes of loyalty, virtue, and the complexities of power dynamics among nobility during this era. The narrative centers on King D. Sancho II, who, due to his indecisive and weak character, allows corrupt advisors and a beautiful woman named D. Mecia to manipulate him, leading to significant turmoil in the kingdom. As D. Mecia exerts her influence, nobles rise against D. Sancho, eventually resulting in his loss of power and a shift to the regency of his brother, Infante D. Affonso. The backbone of the story is the steadfast loyalty of D. Martim de Freitas, the Alcaide of Coimbra, who refuses to betray his king despite overwhelming pressure and dire circumstances. His loyalty shines through as he ultimately retains the castle for the rightful king, showcasing the virtues of honor and integrity in a time of chaos.
