"Chronica de El-Rei D. Sancho II" by Rui de Pina is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically around the early 1700s. The book provides an in-depth narrative of the reign of D. Sancho II, the fourth king of Portugal, known for his struggles and misfortunes during his rule. The primary focus is on the challenges he faced and the resulting decline of his authority due to weak decisions and external pressures. The chronicle details D. Sancho's ascension to the throne, his controversial marriage to Dona Mecia Lopes, and the opposition he encountered from both the clergy and nobility. The narrative outlines the significant interventions from the Church, including the papal caution against his actions and the eventual loss of his crown to his brother, D. Affonso, who effectively governed Portugal in his stead. It chronicles the political maneuvers, battles, and the eventual demise of D. Sancho, leading to his death in exile and highlighting the complexities of the medieval monarchy in Portugal. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 44.8 (College-level).
