Description
Summary:Portrayed as a brilliant Renaissance figure that combined success in the military with the love for knowledge, D. Francisco’s patronage is well-known. This article compares the post-mortem written memory of Coutinho with an evaluation of the offices he held: the captaincy of Arzila (1546-1549) and the viceroyalty of India (1561-1564). The household and stay of D. Francisco at Arzila are analysed, as well as his strategy for recovering the royal grace, marked by his appointments to governor of the "Casa da Suplicação" (1559) and the viceroyalty of India (1561). At the viceroyalty, D. Francisco faced great expectations. Comparing Coutinho’s policy with the orders he received it is possible to ascertain whether the expectations of his appointment were fulfilled. This article reflects on the relations between different identities within the Portuguese Empire while focusing in a case-study of the shaping of historical memory.
Retratado como una brillante figura renacentista que conjugaba el éxito militar con la pasión por el conocimiento, la labor de patronazgo de D. Francisco es bien conocida. Este artículo compara su memoria post-mortem con una evaluación de los cargos que ocupó: la capitanía de Arcila (1546-1549) y el virreinato de la India (1561-1564). Se estudian la Casa y primeros años de D. Francisco en Arcila, así como su estrategia para recuperar el favor regio, que culminó con sus nombramientos a gobernador de la "Casa da Suplicação" (1559) y virrey de la India (1561). En este último destino había grandes expectativas por el desempeño de Coutinho; es relevante comparar las órdenes de la Corona para atisbar si tales expectaciones se cumplieron. Este artículo reflexiona sobre la relación entre las diferentes identidades del Imperio Portugués, al mismo tiempo que se enfoca en el estudio de caso de la construcción de la memoria histórica de Coutinho.
