Enjoy these famous legends from Portugal, some presented in English for the very first time! This book contains 52 notable Portuguese legends, ones which were constantly heard and retold by natives from Portugal across the centuries. Whether you're interested in legends from Portugal, local culture or simply looking for a collection of legends you never read before, this book presents you with many notable stories covering a few different areas: Local legends which predate the foundation of Portugal in the XII century (such as Ulysses founding the city of Lisbon; Guesto Ansures; ...) Legends from the time of Afonso Henriques, the first king of Portugal (the famous "Miracle of Ourique"; the conquest of the city of Évora; ...) Medieval legends regarding the foundation of a few local cities and villages (such as Alenquer and Moura, ...) Legends about Portuguese kings (Martim de Freitas' faithfulness; the Magpies of Sintra; the return of king Sebastião; ...) Legends connected to the notable battle of Aljubarrota (the Twelve of England; the Female Baker; ...) Legends from the time of the Explorers and Portuguese Empire (Machim's; the mysterious statue of the island of Corvo; the giant Adamastor; ...) Fantastic and religious legends (the Goat-footed ladies; Fuas Roupinho; the Enchanted Moors; the Olharapos; ...) And even some legends about famous places and notable people from Portugal (the Rooster of Barcelos; the love story of Inês de Castro; the Labours of Saint Engratia; the recent story of Teresa Fidalgo; ...) Many of these legends were never made available in English before, and so they are compiled and retold here, along with brief explanatory notes, for those who don't speak Portuguese but would like to learn more about these myths, legends and short stories from the country of Camões, Pessoa and Amália.
