Born in a humble family in Lisbon, Ribeiro's education was limited to the University of Coimbra, where he obtained only a bachelor's degree in canon laws. After working as a judge in Pinhel and Ponte de Lima, he returned to Lisbon, where he became an agent for the House of Braganza. This influential position involved managing their business matters and bestowed upon him the favor of nobility. In 1639 Ribeiro entered the Order of Christ, a prominent religious order of knighthood, where his entanglement with the political maneuverings of his time would seal his legacy. The author analyzes the historical context of the events surrounding the Portuguese restoration of independence from Spanish rule, giving special attention to the role played by Ribeiro. He is presented as a pivotal figure in the resistance movement against Castilian rule, whose determination and organizational abilities were instrumental in the ultimate success of the revolution in 1640. The author masterfully explores Ribeiro's ideas, writings, and actions, disentangling the intricate web of courtly politics, popular unrest, and international intrigue that characterized the era. By shedding new light on Ribeiro's motivations and contributions, this book enriches our understanding of the historical processes surrounding the restoration of Portuguese independence.
