PRESTAGE (Edgar). FREi Domingos do Rosário, Diplomata e Político (1595-1662). Coimbra. 1926. - PRESTAGE (Edgar) FREi Domingos do Rosário, Diplomata e Político (1595-1662) . Coimbra: Imprensa da Universidade, 1926. 76 pp.; 230 mm. This is a biographical monograph about Friar Domingos do Rosário (1595-1662), the name by which the Irish Dominican friar Dominic O'Daly became known in Portugal. He was the founder of the Bom Sucesso Convent in Lisbon and diplomatic agent for King John IV during the Restoration period. The study follows his political activities and missions to the French court, as well as his connections to England, at a time when Portuguese diplomacy was using religious figures to negotiate international recognition of the new dynasty. Based on archival sources and diplomatic correspondence from the period, this is the definitive study on the figure, regularly cited in the historiography of the Restoration and the Irish presence in Portugal. A work by Edgar Prestage, an English historian who dedicated a large part of his work to Portugal's diplomatic relations in the 17th century. Highly regarded. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
