| Summary | "Historias de Reis e Príncipes" by Alberto Pimentel is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative appears to explore the lives and intrigues surrounding royalty, focusing on notable figures such as Fernão da Silveira and King João II of Portugal, along with other significant historical events and personal dramas that intertwine with their stories. The opening of the work introduces us to the character of Fernão da Silveira, who is depicted as a conspiring and notable figure in the court of King João II. The narrative begins with Silveira's discontent after a slight from the king, leading him to plot revenge. His conspiracy involves a network of nobles, and as the plot unfolds, multiple betrayals and accusations surface, showcasing the dangerous political landscape of the era. The beginning sets the tone for a dramatic exploration of power, loyalty, and betrayal within the royal courts, hinting at the complexities that will follow in Pimentel's storytelling.
