como el Rei tinha determinado de

dalli prover na guerra Dafrica &
a causa porque o nam fez.
A Rainha donna Leanor, molher
que foi del Rei dom Ioam segun-
do do nome, & irmãa del Rei dom
Emanuel, foi huma muito virtuosa, &
catholica christãa, & fez de sua fazen-
da muitas esmolas a pessoas que disso
tinham necessidade, & alli a mosteiros
de frades, & freiras pelo que comum-
mente lhe chamavam mãi, & empa-
ro dos Pobres. Fundou de novo o Hos-
pital das Caldas, em termo Dobidos,
& lhe deu muitas rendas, que pera is-
so comprou da Coroa do regno, & ri-
cos ornamentos pera o serviço divino
com grande somma de roupa pera ca-
mas, & servisso das pessoas que se alli
viessem curar assi ricos, como pobres,
& pera hos pobres deixou rasoens or-
denadas per espaço de hum mes, que
he ho tempo em que as aguoas daquel-
las caldas fazem sua obra. Essa virtuo-
sa, & Catholica Rainha instituio a
confraria da Misericordia nestes reg-
nos, sendo regente delles no tempo
que el Rei dom Emanuel seu irmam
era ido a Castella, com a Rainha Prin-
cesa donna Isabel, sua molher, a faze-
remse

remse jurar por Principes daquelles
regnos, pera ha qual confraria el Rei
dom Emanuel deu de juro cada anno
desmola hum conto de reis, pera entre-
timento de horphãos, & quinhentos
mil reis pera outras obras pias. Fundou
ella Senhora tambem de novo o mos-
teiro da invocação da Madre de Deos,
no valle Denxobregas, junto de Lis-
boa, & o povoou de novo de freiras
de santa Clara da ordem de são Fran-
cisco da Observancia, que per seus in-
stitutos comem sempre peixe, onde el-
la jaz sepultada, na crasta, junto da por-
ta do refeitorio em sepultura simplez;
rasa igoal com o cham, & porque era
muito devota da bemaventurada san-
cta Ursula guia, & capitoa das virtuo-
sas martyres onze mil virgens, pedio
per suas cartas ao Emperador Maxi-
miliano, seu primo com irmam, que
quisesse mandar algumas reliquias des-
tas sanctas virgens, o que lhe concedeo
facilmente, & dentre todas mandou ti-
rar do mosteiro de sancta Ursula da ci-
dade de Colonia Agripina, onde estam
todas estas sepultadas, as da bem aven-
turada sancta Auta, & as mandou a en-
tregar a boa guarda a Francisco pes-
soa, que entem era feitor del Rei em
Flandres, residente na villa Danuers.
pera as mandar a Rainha, como ho fez
em huma nao Hollandesa, que chegou
ao porto de Lisboa aos dous dias de
Septembro deste anno de mil, & qui-
nhentos, & dezasete, & aos doze do
mesmo mes mandou el Rei dom Ema-
nuel que então estava em Lisboa, que
levassem estas reliquias ao mosteiro da
Madre de Deos na mesma nao em que
vieram, o que se fez com muita festa,
& companhia de navios, & bateis em-
bandeirados, posto que todo o regno
então estevesse de dó pola Rainha don-
na Maria, como a nao ancorou defron-
te do mosteiro da Madre de Deos, fo-
ram alguns conegos da Se tirar as reli-
quias, & as trouxeram ha terra, onde
a Rainha donna Leanor, & o Principe
dom Ioam seu sobrinho as estavam es-
perando. Da praia foi a arca, em que
vinham, levada com solemne procissam
[break]
ao mosteiro, & postas per dom Marti-
nho da costa, Arcebispo de Lisboa,
em hum altar que na Egreja pera isso a
Rainha donna Leanor mandou fazer.
Neste tempo andava el Rei em pensa-
mentos de querer seguir a Deos, aparta-
do dos negocios do mundo, do que
desviado per conselho de pessoas a que
disso dava conta se resolveo em se que-
rer aposentar no regno do Algarve, &
com as rendas daquelle regno, & do
mestrado de Christus, fazer dalli como
fronteiro guerra aos mouros, & ter os
lugares que tinha em Africa providos
de todo o que lhes fosse necessario, mas
porque andando neste proposito, veo
a saber, que os privados do Principe
dom Ioam seu filho lhe aconselharão
algumas cousas fundadas em lhe ser de-
sobediente, se fez em outra volta, que
foi casarsse com a Infanta donna Lea-
nor, irmam del Rei dom Carlos de Ca-
stella, tendoha dantes mandado pedir
muitas vezes pera o mesmo Principe
seu filho, o que fez, por se assegurar
de qualquer torvaçam que lhe elle per
maos conselhos quisesse dar, do qual
casamento se dira em seu lugar.
Translation - English Chapter XXVI
Which talks about the pious works the Queen “donna” Leanor, sister of King “dom” Emanuel, did in these kingdoms; how through her intercession they brought the Relics of the virgin Sancta Auta body; and how the King had determined to reside in the kingdom of Algarve, to better support the war in Africa and the reason why he did not do it.
The Queen “donna” Leanor, wife of King “dom” Joam, second of the name and sister of the King “dom” Emmanuel, was a very virtuous and catholic Christian who used her wealth to help many of those that needed it, including the monasteries of friars and nuns who commonly called her ‘mother’, and supporting the poor.
She re-establish the Hospital das Caldas, in Obidos, giving a significant amount of money, borrowed from the kingdom finances, providing rich ornaments for the religious service, a substantial amount of bed linens and workers to help those who arrived there to be healed, rich or poor people. And for the poor, she designated a ration to last one month, which is the amount of time that the waters used to do their work.
This virtuous Catholic Queen established the Misericordia fraternity in this kingdom, being the regent on the times that the King “dom” Emanuel, her brother, went to Castella with the Princess Queen “donna” Isabel, his wife, to swear as a Prince and Princess of those Kingdoms. Dom Emanuel gave one “conto de reis” per year for the alms, for the maintenance of the orphans and five hundred thousand “reis” for other charity works.
In the Enxobregas valley, near Lisbon, the Queen Leonor re-establish a monastery for the invocation of Madre de Deus, populating it once more with Santa Clara nuns of the San Francisco Observancia Order, whose principles require them to always eat fish. There, she is buried in a shallow grave, flat at the same level as the ground, close to the dining hall.
Being so devoted to Saint Ursula, the guide and captain of the eleven thousand virtuous virgins martyrs, the Queen “donna” Leanor asked through her letters to the Emperor Maximiliano, her cousin as brother, if he could send to her some relics of those saint virgins, which he easily accorded. From all [relics] that were at the monastery of Saint Ursula, in the city of Colonia Agripina, where the virgins were buried, he chose the ones from the blessed Saint Auta, giving to the good guardianship of Francisco Pessoa, overseer of the King in Flandres, who was residing at villa Danuers, until he could send them to the Queen Leonor on a Dutch ship.
On the second day of September of one thousand five hundred and seventeen years the Dutch ship arrived in Lisbon, and on the twelfth day of the same month, the King “dom” Emanuel, at the time being there, gave an order to send those relics to the monastery of Madre de Deus, on the same ship they came, which was done with lots of festivity, several other ships and boats decorated with flags.
Since all the kingdom, at that time, was with pity for the Queen “donna” Maria, as the ship did not anchor in front of the monastery Madre de Deus, some of the Sé Canons went to the ship to bring the relics to the land, where the Queen “donna” Leanor and the Prince “dom” Joam, her nephew, were waiting. From the beach, the arc containing the relics traveled in solemn procession to the monastery, and was placed by “dom” Martinho da Costa, Archbishop of Lisbon, in an altar of the Church, that the Queen “donna” Leanor, ordered to build especially for this.
At that time, the King was having thoughts about following God. Far from the affairs of the world, and receiving advice from people who were aware of it, he decided to retire in the Algarve Kingdom. Supported by the revenue of that domain and the teachings of Christ, he would made that place a frontier for the war against the Moorish and would be able to provide the places he had in Africa with all that was necessary.
At the same time, the King “dom” Emanuel learned that his son, Prince “dom” Joam, was being persuaded by some of his friends to disobey him on some matters. And as a result he decided to change his plans and marry the Infanta “donna” Leanor, sister of the King “dom” Carlos de Castella, the one so many times before he had asked to marry his same son, the Prince. Which he has done, to make sure no bad advice would change his plans.
