In particular the book elucidates the role of the Portuguese royal household in the political consolidation of Portugal in this period. By looking at the relationship of the Manueline Reforms, the expulsion of the Jews and the creation of the Santa Casa da Misericordia to the political threat brought on by the expansion of Ferdinand of Aragon into the Mediterranean, the author re-evaluates the place of the overseas expansion in the policies of the Portuguese crown.Medieval and early modern Iberian world ;Volume 60.Royal housesPolitical activityPortugalHistoryFinancePolitical aspectsPortugalHistoryHistoriographyPolitical aspectsPortugalHistoryPatronage, PoliticalPortugalHistorySocial changePortugalHistoryPortugalPolitics and governmentTo 1580PortugalTerritorial expansionHistoryPortugalHistoryJohn II, 1481-1495PortugalHistoryManuel I, 1495-1521Royal housesPolitical activityHistory.FinancePolitical aspectsHistory.HistoriographyPolitical aspectsHistory.Patronage, PoliticalHistory.Social changeHistory.946.902Humble Ferreira Susannah1599746MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824120603321The crown, the court and the Casa da Índia3922558UNINA
