【 摘 要 】

The fifteenth century witnessed the appropriation of the resources of the military orders by the Portuguese Crown. Initially, this process consisted of the delivery by the government of these orders to various secondary members of the royal dynasty, as if they were apanage. From the time of John II, however, there was a tendency to incorporate these orders into the Crown itself, a practice which would conclude definitely only in 1551. This long process was accompanied by a close relationship between dynastic emblems and Jacobean motifs. Beginning with the infant John, constable of the kingdom and governor of the order of Santiago, such a relationship applied only to the holders of these dignities, but also to the sovereigns themselves - as was the case above all with Alphonso V. Interconnected with the understanding of overseas expansion as a Crusade and as an extension of the Reconquest, Jacobean motifs were also present in the coinage of King John II and his successor Manuel I, in the emblems of George, second Duke of Coimbra, and, finally, in the arms attributed to the Kings of the Congo.
