Tomando como inspiração os estudos pioneiros de Ernst H. Kantorowicz sobre a realeza medieval, e a metodologia de Armando Luís de Carvalho Homem na utilização de legislação para o estudo da História Institucional, esta dissertação pretende estudar as leis de Afonso III para compreender a conceptualização da realeza medieval durante esse reinado. Para contextualizar a conjuntura em questão, aborda-se a cultura legal e a formação de juristas nos séculos XII e XIII, bem como o impacto que estes tiveram nas cortes régias no ocidente europeu. Retomando os estudos de Kantorowicz e outros autores mais recentes, pretende-se compreender o desenvolvimento das noções de realeza nalguns dos reinos mais proeminentes da época – Sacro Império e França; na Península Ibérica, Leão e Castela, e, finalmente, Portugal.
Afunilando a nossa abordagem, focar-nos-emos no reinado de Afonso III, tomando como fonte principal a sua legislação, e o que ela nos diz sobre as suas reformas centralizadoras, o âmbito do seu governo e a pacificação dos corpos sociais do reino. Por último, o principal objetivo da dissertação é, então, proceder a uma análise de vocabulário de poder na legislação e documentação de chancelaria para determinar como ela refletia e construía as concepções de realeza da época, bem como o rei projetava o seu poder através da escrita. Através desta análise poderemos, em última instância, tentar perceber de que forma a documentação do reinado de Afonso III reflete, ou não, a cultura política do século XIII.
Drawing inspiration from the pioneering studies of Ernst H. Kantorowicz on medieval kingship, as well as from the methodology of Armando Luís de Carvalho Homem regarding the use of legislation for the study of Institutional History, this dissertation aims to examine the laws of Afonso III in order to understand the conceptualisation of medieval kingship during his reign. To contextualise the period in question, attention is given to the legal culture and the training of jurists in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, as well as to the impact these figures had within royal courts in Western Europe. Revisiting the works of Kantorowicz and more recent authors, the study seeks to understand the development of notions of kingship in some of the most prominent realms of the time—namely the Holy Roman Empire and France; in the Iberian Peninsula, León and Castile; and finally, Portugal. Narrowing the scope of our approach, we will focus specifically on the reign of Afonso III, taking his legislation as the primary source and examining what it reveals about his centralising reforms, the scope of his governance, and the pacification of the kingdom’s social bodies. Ultimately, the main goal of this dissertation is to carry out an analysis of the vocabulary of power within the legislation and chancery documents, in order to determine how contemporary conceptions of kingship were reflected and constructed, as well as how the king projected his authority through writing. Through this analysis, we may, in the final instance, understand the extent to which the documentation from the reign of Afonso III does or does not reflect the political culture of the thirteenth century.
