Lagos has a special bond with the controversial king D. Sebastião: it was raised to city status in 1573, at the same time that the newly appointed capitão-mor of the Kingdom of the Algarve took residence. It invites us, therefore, to focus our attention on this geographic space, especially since it was from here that the sebastic fleet went to the final stage of the fateful «Jornada de África».
Some of the speakers of the previous 24th 25th meeting, together with members of the research team of the project «De Re Militari: writing war on the image of the battlefield in Portuguese space (1521-1621)», will talk about the sea crossing and land march, highlight some of the Moroccan conjunctures like the Sufis and the saadi warfare), and reflect on the writings of veterans and captives - the testimony of the vanquished of Alcácer Quibir.
This Conference is held due to the research project «De Re Militari: Da escrita da guerra à imagem do campo de batalha no espaço português (1521-1621)» (PTDC/ART-HIS/32459/2017), support by Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia.
