Abstract
Analysis of the biographical trajectory of
Friar Aleixo de Meneses, son of the Portuguese King Sebastião’s schoolmaster and grandson of the 1st Count of Cantanhede. Friar Aleixo joined the Hermits of St. Augustine at the age of 15 and reached the archbishopric, the post of viceroy and the presidency of Portugal’s Council. The article discusses the factors that
fostered this rapid promotion and examines
if it was unusual in the beginning of the 17th century.
