The 620 years since the death of D. Lourenço Vicente are the pretext for revisiting the itinerary and figure of this intriguing and energetic Archbishop of Braga. Born in Lourinhã, he was one of the first and most loyal supporters of King D. João I. In times of dynastic change and great political and military instability, with a changing Christendom, as a result of the Papacy’s presence in Avignon and the Schism that followed in the late fourteenth century, D. Lourenço Vicente left an indelible mark in a complex period of our history, which should be recovered and put into context.
