Henrique Produced by Pedro Saborano (produced from scanned images of public domain material from Google Book Search) "Um contemporâneo do Infante D. Henrique" by Alberto Pimentel is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work examines the life of Álvaro Vaz de Almada, a notable figure from the 15th century, who is portrayed as a significant companion of the Infante D. Henrique, known for his contributions to maritime discoveries. The narrative highlights the context of Portugal's esteemed history during the Age of Exploration and aims to provide a deeper understanding of both D. Henrique and the era's influential characters. The opening of this work presents a letter addressed to Mr. Mathieu Lugan, in which the author discusses the importance of commemorating the fifth centenary of the birth of Infante D. Henrique. Pimentel expresses gratitude towards foreigners who have shown interest in revealing the glorious deeds of Portugal, specifically in the context of maritime exploration. The author reveals his intention to explore the broader historical landscape of the 15th century, focusing not only on D. Henrique but also on the prominent figures of the era, including Álvaro Vaz de Almada, who is described as the last Portuguese knight. The tone sets the stage for a detailed study of Almada's lineage and valorous deeds, intricately weaving historical context with the personal narratives of its characters.
