The book chronicles the significant tumult and transformations in Portuguese history, particularly focusing on the uprising against Spanish rule and the subsequent quest for independence. The opening of the work sets the stage for a dramatic retelling of societal unrest in Portugal, highlighting the tensions under Spanish governance. De Vertot introduces the narrative by examining the historical context of the nation as a distinct entity on the Iberian Peninsula, touching upon its geography and demographics. Key figures emerge, including Don Sebastian, whose rashness and zeal for conquest lead to disastrous outcomes, and the Duke of Braganza, who becomes a pivotal character in the struggle for liberation. The narrative promises tales of conspiracy, civil strife, and the interplay between tyranny and the quest for sovereignty, immersing readers in the complexities of Portugal's political and cultural landscape.
