| Summary | "Opúsculos por Alexandre Herculano - Tomo 03" by Alexandre Herculano is a collection of historical essays and controversies written in the late 19th century. The volume primarily addresses historical debates, focusing on the legendary accounts of the Battle of Ourique and the status of serfs in Spain between the 8th and 12th centuries. Herculano critiques the inaccuracies and myths surrounding these subjects, emphasizing the need for rigorous historical analysis. The opening of this collection presents a letter to the Patriarch of Lisbon, where Herculano expresses his dismay over the vehement criticisms he has faced from certain clergymen regarding his previous historical works. He discusses the resistance he has encountered due to his rejection of fantastical traditions related to the Battle of Ourique, as well as his earnest examination of historical facts concerning the serfdom in Spain. Herculano showcases his commitment to truth in history, while lamenting the ignorance and superstition that often cloud religious and historical discourse, setting the tone for a serious exploration of these intertwined subjects in the essays that follow.
