Abstract:

This dissertation focuses on Estêvão da Guarda. We consider this troubadour of utmost importance in the court of Denis of Portugal due to his vast corpus (over 35 cantigas) and his life experience as royal scribe in the court of that king. His life and his work as royal counsellor in an age of such cultural flourishing makes Estêvão da Guarda a very interesting figure. That historical context will also be a research subject in our dissertation.
