What I Learned from Joaquim Romero Magalhães. e-Journal of Portuguese History, 17 (1), 117-1231645-6432http://hdl.handle.net/10451/39466Precisely because they were grounded on a solid knowledge of institutional and social matrices of the Portuguese trans-continental reality, Romero Magalhães’s works provide many relevant contributions on specific matters. Often there are less prominent ideas in the overall economy of a work that can be very striking to those who read them. I would like to emphasize three, which decisively influenced my understanding of Portuguese history and all my historiographical output.engMunicipal powerNobilitiesPombalineReformsWhat I Learned from Joaquim Romero Magalhãesjournal article
