Resumo

King Dom Dinis of “Portugalie et Algarbii” (1279), grandson of Alfonso X of Castile and creator of an important literary court, represents the connecting thread of a centralizing politics against the privileges of the nobility. His burial complex in the Cistercian monastery of Odivelas (honor) is the expression of that identity conferred on the kingdom, where his power and memoria are associated with a triple apologetic casuistry: legal, moral, and historical (fama). Together with the mystical superiority of the King “Gratia Dei” (honra), his burial attempts to emphasize the “proper death of the individual” by way of a relief showing his public confession, which appeals to the “good death” with a view to the final sentence.
