          Abstract

          O artigo procura mapear, com base na vida e na trajetória política de D. Antônio, Prior do Crato, algumas questões para o estudo da história política e cultural ibérica na virada do século XVI para o XVII. Personagem controvertido, inquieto e ambicioso, esteve envolvido diretamente na disputa sucessória que antecedeu a União Ibérica e liderou o mais forte partido contra Felipe II. Depois de se autocoroar rei de Portugal, foi perseguido pelo duque de Alba, refugiou-se em cortes europeias inimigas do soberano espanhol e morreu pobre e solitário em Paris, em 1595. A numerosa produção historiográfica já dedicada a D. Antônio, bem como a documentação já localizada e catalogada sobre sua trajetória na corte e o breve e conturbado reinado permitem novas aproximações com o tempo, os projetos, as alianças e os insucessos que conheceu, seja para uma análise macro-histórica do período, seja para o estudo do personagem em suas várias dimensões e perspectivas.

          Translated abstract

          The article focuses the lineage of D. Antônio, called as Prior do Crato, his role amidst the iberian courts and, mainly, his desire to become the king of Portugal in 1580. He was a sun of D. Luís, one of the most nobleman at this time, so he was received into the courts. However, considering the successory fight in Portugal after the royal defeat in Alcacer Quibir battle, the bastard origin of D. Antônio was the major obstacle to his ambition. The portuguese nobility was profoundly divided in those years. Altough fought, the antonista project had several followers, partly composed by those who were loyal to D. Luís, the father of D. Antônio. This group was sheltered in others european courts where they adopted and spread the so-called sebastianism. Considered part of the large bibligraphy related to d. Antônio and his dream, this paper tries to offer some issues to be discussed or searched on this "rejected king".
