The medieval forais of the burgo velho do Porto. Rupture or continuity? The medieval forais of Gaia and Vila Nova, from 1255 and 1288, respectively, were assigned to the same locality, the “Burgo Velho do Porto”. These forais are the only ones of royal origin attributed to a vast territory located between the Ave river, in the north, and the Mondego river, in the south. A profusely populated and “seignorized” territory. The pertinence of the analysis of these two acts is to understand in what political context they were carried out. What objective did D. Afonso III and D. Dinis have when they granted them? Are they two complementary documents and substitutes for each other or different foundational acts? What powers were confronted in that territory that led those two monarchs to intervene? Our analysis is not about the local political organization or the socioeconomic characterization of the community. But to observe what impact these contracts had as an instrument of the royal affirmation policy in the medieval world.

Este estudo centra-se na região de Trás-os-Montes no reinado de D. Dinis (1279-1325), altura em que teve lugar um grande volume de concessões régias de forais e concretamente nesta região. E é para procurar perceber quais as razões para esse elevado número de concessões que pretendemos responder neste artigo.

Resumo: A cidade do Porto constituiu-se senhorio episcopal em 1120 com a concessão de carta de couto pela condessa Dona Teresa. A comunidade urbana que aí se instalou, dedicava-se ao tráfico comercial marítimo, fluvial e terrestre.

Em 1316, os burgueses do Porto alcançam do rei sentença que retirou ao bispo o senhorio e jurisdição da cidade. Situação política que vigorou até 1324. Palavras-chave: Forais; Burguesia; Senhorio Episcopal; Senhorio Régio. Abstract: The city of Porto became an episcopal landlord in 1120 with the grant of a letter of "couto", jurisdictional immunity, by Countess Dona Teresa. The urban community that settled there was dedicated to maritime, river and land commercial traffic. On the opposite bank, in Gaia (Burgo Velho do Porto), in 1255, Afonso III, asserted his authority, granting a charter. The son D. Dinis made new grant of Foral. At the same time, the king confirms his lordship on the outskirts of Porto. Where the bourgeois of Porto acquire properties by royal concession. In 1316, the bourgeois of Porto reached the king's sentence that removed the lordship and jurisdiction of the city from the bishop. Political situation that prevailed until 1324.

The region of Trás-os-Montes in the Middle Ages was the seat of a single Benedictine monastic community São Salvador de Castro de Avelãs in Bragança. Monastery which is associated with the Way of St. James. However many Cistercian monasteries owned property acquired in that region during the Middle Ages. These monasteries were St. Martin de Castaneda, Santa Maria Moreruela, Santa Maria de Montederramo, Santa Maria de Bouro and S. Pedro das Águias, divided into the following Dioceses respectively: Astorga, Zamora, Ourense, Braga and Lamego. From a geographical analysis of the location of this patrimony we can infer the great routes that crossed the territory and that had in that patrimony the extension of the service that the white monks practiced, besides being important economic explorations.

Utilizando como fonte base as inquirições de Afonso III de 1258, que cobrem a totalidade do território de norte de Portugal (Dioceses de Braga, Tui e Porto), apresentamos um levantamento da hagiotoponímia das paróquias inquiridas. Porque é imenso o território abrangido no inquérito régio, selecionámos duas regiões que configuraram a primeira e a quarta alçada. A primeira alçada incide sobre o território entre o rio Minho e o rio Cávado, pertencentes às dioceses de Tui e de Braga. A quarta alçada incide sobre a região de Trás-os-Montes medieval, o território compreendido entre os rios Tâmega, Maçãs e Douro, abarcando as dioceses de Braga e Porto. Procuramos identificar quais as devoções paroquiais preponderantes numa perspectiva comparativa, procurando desvendar os caminhos de peregrinação que cruzavam o território, indo ao encontro do tema proposto para este ano do IV Colóquio em S. Pedro de Rates.
Using as a source the Afonso IIIrd inquiries on 1258, which cover the entire territory of northern Portugal (Dioceses of Braga, Tui and Porto), we present a survey of the hagiotoponymy of the parishes surveyed. Because the territory covered by the royal inquest is vast, we have selected two regions that have configured the first and fourth quarters. The first area lies on the territory between the river Minho and the river Cávado, belonging to the dioceses of Tui and Braga. The fourth is located on the medieval Trás-os-Montes region, the territory between the Tâmega, Maçãs and Douro rivers, belonging to the dioceses of Braga and Porto. We seek to identify the parochial devotions that prevail in a comparative perspective, trying to unravel the pilgrimage routes that crossed the territory, in order to meet the theme proposed for this year of the IV Colloquium in S. Pedro de Rates.

O presente artigo vem esclarecer como no século XIII, os Templários exerceram o domínio senhorial em Mogadouro e Penas Roias e como a partir daí administravam os seus domínios em Trás-os-Montes. Em oposição, os reis portugueses desde D. Sancho I até D. Afonso III, procuraram afastar os Cavaleiros do Templo dessa região e consolidar a sua autoridade e soberania face ao reino de Leão. Tentaremos de forma sucinta explicar como os templários exerceram o domínio e a transição para o senhorio régio.
The present article clarifies how in the thirteenth century, the Templars exercised mastery in Mogadouro and Penas Roias and how they related to the local communities. As from there they managed their domains in Trás-os-Montes. In opposition, the Portuguese kings from D. Sancho I to D. Afonso III, sought to distance the Knights Templars from that region and consolidate their authority and sovereignty over the kingdom of Leon. Let us briefly explore how Templar rule was and the transition to the royal lordship.

Havia que começar desde o principio e identificar quem foram os nobres que possuíram este senhorio desde o século X (927) até ao século XV (1463).

A propósito do singular edifício que é a Torre do Relógio de Alfândega e a lembrança do seu castelo, desenvolvemos esta investigação sobre 500 anos da história desta localidade trasmontana. Desde o momento da inclusão da região trasmontana no reino de Portugal, libertando-se do reino de Leão, a reforma dionisina antes e depois de Alcanices até aos senhorios donatários, que depois de 1398 serão a linhagem emergente dos Távora. E concluímos este estudo com o pretenso crime que provocou a queda dessa família, com consequências na região.

Our study focuses on the analysis of the evolution of a territory situated south of Bragança district. We analyzed the aristocratic powers and its relationship with pre-existing communities. During the low Middle Ages, this territory is occupied by local communities overseen by the regional aristocracy. Simultaneously, the royal power will be disseminated through the creation of new communities under his tutelage. These new communities, municipalities, will surrounding the aristocratic landlords. During the reign of King Dinis, the royal power finally absorbed the existing landlords, first reducing them and then integrating them within the new administrations have created. With this king, a new manor protection replaces the old aristocracy. Now, their power and authority does not emanate tradition or lineage, but by the king. Local communities are developing and structuring the local government. The political situation led to a structural change. The royal power definitely adopts the installation of grantees landlords, as its agents. A feudal model dependent on authority and royal policy that coexists with the local authority and district council model. The land belongs to the king who gives it to him who is faithful and obedient and hires the service, but that is not alienated.

The Febros Trail is a 4,5 km linear pedestrian route along the banks of this tributary of the Douro River. It is located in Vila Nova de Gaia between the parishes of Avintes and Vilar de Andorinho. The arrival / departure points, the Porticos, are located at the mouth of this river in place of Esteiro and Rua de Chãos.
In this route an industrial patrimony is concentrated composed by 18 mills that shelter 72 millstones, monuments that portray a past that dates back to Average Age and had its apogee between 1600-1850.
At the same time we see how man shaped the river and the natural landscape, from the Iron Age (Castro Guedes - identified by the academics as Castro de Baiza) transforming it into an agro-system where inhabited a complex society composed of aristocratic and ecclesiastical landlords, foreiros Aristocrats, bourgeois and people of the people, in jurisdictions that cut the territory with the modes of economic exploitation that coexisted with the introduction of new agricultural products and new agricultural methods.
All intervened in the molding of the surrounding natural space, leaving imprinted in the toponymy and heritage the marks of the passage of this rural society that built what is revealed in the Febros Trail.
