The title was originally published under the name Epitome de las Historias Portuguesas . Manuel de Faria e Sousa (Pombeiro de Ribavizela, 1590 - Madrid, 1649), a Portuguese historian and poet who frequently wrote in Castilian Spanish, spent most of his adult life in Madrid, with an interruption while serving in the Portuguese embassy in Rome between 1631 and 1634. His commentary on Os Lusíadas and the poetry of Camões earned him temporary imprisonment and the loss of his salary due to intervention by the Inquisition, although this did not prevent him from maintaining a remarkably high rate of literary production. The History of the Kingdom of Portugal , divided into five parts, covers the kingdom's settlements, the incursions of northern nations, its ancient and modern description, the lives and deeds of the kings with their respective portraits, their conquests, dignities, and illustrious families. It constitutes one of the main historical syntheses of Portugal written by a Portuguese author in Castilian Spanish in the 17th century, widely disseminated in Europe through successive editions and reprints throughout the 18th century.
