O estudo que nos propusemos desenvolver, cujo objeto de estudo é um grupo de capitães ao serviço da coroa no contexto da Expansão Portuguesa no Índico, almeja caraterizar estes oficiais ao serviço do rei de Portugal entre 1510 e 1557. Procura também descrever e analisar o exercício do cargo de capitães de Goa, desde a conquista desta praça-forte na costa do Malabar, na Costa Ocidental da Índia, que se efetivou durante o reinado de D. Manuel I, até ao fim do reinado de seu filho, o rei D. João III. Este estudo visou antes de mais responder a um conjunto de questões associadas à importância do desempenho dos agentes estudados na condução de um império em construção, em particular na Ásia, quanto à forma e quanto ao modo como estes possibilitaram a expansão e a estabilização de novos territórios sob o domínio dos soberanos portugueses na primeira metade do séc. XVI. Por forma a melhor caracterizar o percurso individual e coletivo dos nossos agentes, procuramos desenvolver sobre o contexto social em que estavam integrados, designadamente estatuto social que auferiam, sendo um dos aspetos que procuramos aprofundar para melhor compreender as suas motivações e as suas aspirações quer materiais quer simbólicas. Procurámos também compreender e analisar as relações de poder assentes sobretudo nas solidariedades familiares que constituíam redes e grupos de poder, o que permitiu também entender a imagem do conjunto e as suas partes constituintes, cujas dinâmicas de poder permitiram identificar a existência de continuidades e rupturas nas estratégias desenvolvidas no Estado da Índia em geral e na capitania de Goa em particular. No contexto da Expansão portuguesa, através deste estudo, com recurso ao método prosopográfico, procuramos compreender os percursos dos capitães que governaram a capitania de Goa, integrados nas dinâmicas de um espaço mais lato, o Estado da Índia, procurando assim entender a importância da sua ação política e militar na estabilização e consolidação da presença portuguesa na Ásia.
The study we set out to develop, whose object of study is a group of captains in the service of the crown in the context of the Portuguese Expansion in the Indian Ocean, constitutes and seeks to characterize these officers in the service of the king of Portugal between 1510 and 1557. This study sought to describe and analyze the exercise of the office of captain of Goa, from the conquest of this stronghold on the Malabar coast, on the West Coast of India, which took place during the reign of King Manuel I, until the end of the reign of his son, King João III. This study aims first and foremost to answer a set of questions associated with the importance of the performance of the agents studied in running an empire under construction, particularly in Asia, in terms of how they enabled the expansion and stabilization of new territories under the rule of the Portuguese sovereigns in the first half of the 16th century. To better characterize the individual and collective journeys of our agents, we tried to elaborate on the social context in which they were integrated, namely their social status, which was one of the aspects we sought to deepen in order to better understand their motivations and their aspirations, both material and symbolic. We also sought to understand and analyze the power relations based above all on family solidarity that constituted networks and power groups, which also allowed us to understand the image of the whole and its constituent parts, whose power dynamics allowed us to identify the existence of continuities and ruptures in the strategies developed in the Estado da Índia in general and in the captaincy of Goa in particular. In the context of the Portuguese Expansion, this study, using the Prosopography, seeks to understand the journeys of the captains who governed the captaincy of Goa, integrated into the dynamics of a wider space, the Estado da Índia, thus trying to understand the importance of their political and military action in stabilizing and consolidating the Portuguese presence in Asia.
