Resumo(s)
Sesnando Davides, homem que governou a região de Coimbra durante a 2ª metade do
século XI, é uma figura que permanece com diversas dúvidas por resolver. Pouco ou
nada se sabe da sua proveniência, da sua educação ou ascensão dentro da corte de Leão
e Castela, que lhe permitiu obter o governo da cidade de Coimbra, reconquistada em
1064 por Fernando I. Da governação de Sesnando chegaram-nos algumas notícias e
dados que nos possibilitam compreender a extensão do poder e acção do governador
entre o Douro e o Mondego. Todavia, e apesar de existirem uma série de ensaios sobre a
acção de Sesnando, resta ainda conceber um estudo que sistematize todos os dados,
concepções, ideias, propostas e fontes sobre o governador de Coimbra.
Abordaremos a figura de Sesnando Davides em diferentes dimensões: como
governador, alvazil, cônsul, guerreiro, juiz, pai, moçárabe e conselheiro de reis. Importa
também perceber quem eram os homens mais próximos ao cônsul, qual foi a sua
participação na administração da região de Coimbra e de que forma estavam ligados a
Sesnando.
A governação de quase três décadas de Sesnando Davides pode ser encarada como uma
época de grande crescimento e de certo esplendor em Coimbra, tendo sido ele o grande
líder do moçarabismo conimbricense. Por fim, é nosso objectivo observar qual o legado
do cônsul e as consequências da sua morte para a elite moçárabe de Coimbra e para a
região que ele governava.
ABSTRACT: Sesnando Davides, governor of the region of Coimbra during the second half of the XI century, is still a mysterious figure in the history of that region. Little or Nothing is known about his provenance, education or ascention in the court of León and Castille, which allowed for the retaking of the city by the king Fernando I. On his governing of the city we have come across some interesting data, which helps us to understand the full extent of his power and action between the rivers Douro and Mondego. Despite the fact that there are a number of suitable papers about the action of Sesnando Davides, a concise study that systematizes all of the data, conceptions, ideas, propositions and sources is much needed. We will approach the figure of the count from several different dimensions: as a governor, alvazil, consul, warrior, judge, father, mozarab and counsellor of kings. It is also important to understand who were the men that were the closest to the consul, which was their participation in the administration of Coimbra and what exactly was their connection to Sesnando Davides. The almost three decade government of Coimbra by Sesnando Davides could be seen as a time of great growth and certain splendour for this city, with the count as the great leader of the mozarabs of Coimbra. Finally, it is our objective to determine what is the legacy of the consul and the consequences of his death for the mozarab elite in Coimbra and surrounding region.
