As igrejas das Ordens Religioso-militares entre 1220 e 1327 [recurso eletrónico] : das inquirições régias aos documentos normativos

Abstract

e approach to the churches of the Religious-Military Orders is a still open research eld and contains key elements to clarify the character of each of these institutions in Portugal and how they organized their territories and exercized their constitutional rights. We propose, therefore, to survey the churches entrusted to Military Orders from the royal inquiries made during the thirteenth century (1220, 1258, 1284 and 1288/90) and the List of Churches of 1320- 1321. As the orders were not special generative of documentation related to the topic under study, these royal sources are essential to the denition of the spatial distribution of the Military Orders heritage, including its churches.
