See also:LOPES, FERNAO (138o?—1459?) , the See also:patriarch of Portuguese historians, was appointed keeper of the royal archives, then housed in the See also:castle of St See also:George in See also:Lisbon, by See also:- KING

King See also:John I. in See also:November 1418. He acted as private secretary to the Infants D. Duarte and D. Fernando, and when the *former ascended the See also:throne he charged Lopes, by See also:letter of the 19th of See also:March 1434, with the See also:work of " putting into See also:chronicles the stories of the See also:kings of old See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time as well as the See also:great and lofty actions of the most virtuous king my See also:lord and See also:father " (John I.). The See also:form of the See also:appointment marked its limits, and is a sufficient reply to those See also:modern critics who have censured Lopes for partiality. Not-withstanding his See also:official See also:title of See also:chief chronicler of the See also:realm, he was the king's See also:man ( Vassallodel Rei), and received his See also:salary from the royal See also:treasury. King See also:Alphonso V. confirmed him in his See also:post by letter of the 3rd of See also:June 1449, and in 1454, after See also:thirty-six years' service in the archives and twenty as chronicler, he resigned in favour of See also:Gomez Eannes de See also:Azurara. The latter pays a See also:tribute to his predecessor as " a notable See also:person, a man of rare knowledge and great authority," and the modern historian Herculano says, " there is not only See also:history in the chronicles of Fernao Lopes, there is See also:poetry and See also:drama as well; there is the See also:middle See also:age with its faith, its See also:enthusiasm, its love of See also:glory." Lopes has been called the Portuguese See also:Froissart, and that rare See also:gift, the See also:power of making their subjects live, is See also:common to the two writers; indeed, had the former written in a better-known See also:language, there can be little doubt that the See also:general See also:opinion of critics would have confirmed that of See also:Robert See also:Southey, who called Lopes " beyond all comparison the best chronicler of any age or nation." Lopes was the first to put in See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order the stories of the earlier Portuguese monarchs, and he composed a general See also:chronicle of the See also:kingdom, which, though it never appeared under his name, almost certainly served as a See also:foundation for the chronicles of Ruy de See also:Pina (q.v.). Lopes prepared himself for his work with care and See also:diligence, as he tells us, not only by wide See also:reading of books 'n different See also:languages, but also by a study of the archives be-longing to municipalities, monasteries and churches, both in See also:Portugal and See also:Spain. He is usually a trustworthy See also:guide in facts, and charms the reader by the naive simplicity of his See also:style.
His See also:works that have come down are: (I) Chronica del Rei D. Joao I. de See also:boa memoria, parts i and 2 (Lisbon, 1644). The third See also:part See also:relating the See also:capture of See also:Ceuta was added by Azurara. A corrected See also:text of the chronicle has been issued by instalments in the Archivo Historico Portuguez. (2) Chronica do senhor rei D. Pedro L," in vol. iv, of the Colleccao de Livros Ineditos da Historic Portugueza, published by the See also:Academy of Sciences (Lisbon, 1816) ; a much better text than that published by Father Bayao in his edition ofthe same chronicle (Lisbon, 176o). (3) Chronica do senhor rei D. Fernando published in the same See also:volume and collection. The See also:British Museum has some important 16th-See also:century See also:MSS. of the chronicles.
