Da fé se valem os belicosos: uma perspectiva educacional sobre a cavalaria nas cantigas de Santa Maria

Abstract

Articulating historical research with reflections on education and the use of Information and Communication Technologies to the teaching of history, this study sought to understand the knightly figures present in the “Cantigas de Santa Maria” through analyzing texts and illuminations extracted from this documentation. It was sought to understand aspects of social and political relations of Chivalry during Afonso X’s period, being delimited Chivalrous profiles found in the analysis. Together with the dissertation, a virtual teaching material has been produced, designed to update teachers on aspects of medieval history and to stimulate unusual perspectives and approaches to teaching practices.
