I'm happy to discuss supervision and co-supervision arrangements on topics in Iberian history and culture (1200-1500), the Hundred Years' War, and on political life in the medieval West broadly considered. Current and past PhD and MA students of mine have worked on the diplomacy of King Dinis of Portugal (r. 1279-1325), on the Portuguese countess of Arundel in early fifteenth-century England, on Princess-Saint Joan of Portugal as a political persona, and on royal hunting management and personnel in late medieval Portugal.

Short Bio:
Coming from a trans-disciplinary background -- I trained in Modern Languages (NOVA BA), Medieval Studies (Reading MA), and History (Oxford DPhil) -- my main research interests lay on the configurations of later medieval diplomacy and cross-territorial political pollination and communication. Recently, I have developed a strong interest in medieval environmental studies, namely on falconry practices.
I have been a member of the Casa de Velázquez (Madrid), the École pratique des hautes études (Paris), Towson University (Baltimore, US), and the University of Porto, and have taught at NOVA-FCSH (Lisbon), Canterbury Christchurch University and the University of Kent (both UK), of which I remain an associate lecturer.
Over the years, I've peer-reviewed for The English Historical Review, En La España Medieval, the Journal of Medieval History, the Journal of Medieval Iberian Studies, Medievalista, Le Moyen Âge; and the Royal Studies Journal, where I served as the founding lead copyeditor.
.edit - At Oxford, I studied under John Watts and Malcolm Vale. As a non-tenured postgraduate, I have worked closely with Maria João Branco (NOVA, Lisbon), Rita Costa Gomes (Towson), and Stéphane Péquignot (EPHE-Sorbonne).edit

From about 1412, Infante Duarte, Portugal’s heir apparent, took on a large portion of the roles expected of a king, until 1433, the year he finally came to the throne. For two decades, his father, King João I – already a seasoned sovereign – had come to rely on the firstborn to assist him in the everyday management of royal administration, justice, and certain economic matters. This was to become known to historians as the prince–king “association”. This essay departs from an interrogation, of whether Duarte was able – or expected at all – to play a role of his own in diplomatic affairs. My argument takes into account Duarte’s posturing as the first in the line of succession, his position as one of several siblings in a tightly knit dynasty, and his own realisations in external politics. The documentary evidence surrounding several treaties involving Aragon, Castile and Navarre seems to point to Duarte’s restraint as a diplomatic player in his own right, even during the “association” period before he became king. For the most part, he remained subordinate to a dynastic logic, with his father firmly hanging on to the helm.

Abstract:
The fourteenth and the fifteenth centuries at large witnessed a process of sovereignty and governance definition, which played out also in the management of relations within the international order. Whilst acknowledging the key role of the Hundred Years’ War in this, the paper discusses friendship and alliance as both notional and legally binding premises in regulating interaction between polities and peoples in the period. It singles out Anglo-Portuguese relations as a case in point. Regarded to this day as long-standing allies, Portugal and England were connected by such ties — formal and informal — of commercial as well as political and military interdependency.
Marine relations were central in this regard, with the sea providing both the setting and a driving force for many an interaction. In such an environment, conflict was a given. Was conflict among self-proclaimed allies any different from conflict generally speaking? How expedient was conflict management when compared with outer players? In the backdrop of mercantile practices and royal policy-making — treaties, business contracts, diplomacy, and judicial procedure included — the paper addresses the interrogations arising from the correlation between conflict and alliance as projected ‘from above’ and as experienced ‘from below’.

[The PDF is the PRE-PRINT VERSION before proof-reading; please contact me for the text in press.]
Encapsulated in this essay is the idea that, as the official representatives of the polity, royal emissaries while discharging their duties might not have been ready to put aside their personal interest entirely for the sake of their task. This suggestion preambles a discussion that will aim to contemplate the liberties and limits of diplomatic action at the disposal of an agent. Two suppositions can be considered from the outset: that complications within embassies might be moved, in part, by self-interest; and that these interests might differ from the intents of the principal mandating the embassy and get in the way of expected outcomes. My contribution looks into this undercurrent in diplomatic transactions, from the viewpoint of the agent’s own liberties and restrictions. Of particular interest is an assessment of how ambassadorial liberties were able to interfere with the political objectives of the state, and to capture the extent to which they could eventually affect the very policy itself.

Just as 1415 was a momentous year militarily for England, so it was for Portugal too. In August, King João I led a crusading expedition against the Muslim enclave of Ceuta in North Africa, opening up a new phase in Portuguese and European history. This article sets this expedition against a backdrop of evolving political and military relations with England, arguing for a distancing between Portugal and her English ally since the initial formation of an alliance in the previous century. Attention is also given to the army which conquered the stronghold of Ceuta: significant differences can be seen in comparison with Portuguese armies which had fought against Castile in the last decades of the fourteenth century. Although certain key features persisted, there were changes which resulted from a thorough military reorganisation undertaken by João I, and from evolution of the military culture of Portugal, as an examination of the library of King Duarte (1433–38) demonstrates.

► Compares three Anglo-Portuguese campaigns in Portugal in the 1380s. ► Examines political, diplomatic, military, social and economic contexts. ► Explores motivations for English service in Portugal and longer term presence. ► Maps itineraries in Portugal of English soldiers. ► Foreign military intervention and mercenaries as a driving force in relations between regions.
Abstract
Three Anglo-Portuguese campaigns took English servicemen into Portugal in the 1380s. Two were largely guided by Plantagenet interests, in 1381–2 and 1386–7, respectively under the earl of Cambridge and the duke of Lancaster. The other, which began in 1384 under the regent João of Avis (later João I), involved entirely volunteer English forces. While the Lancastrian-led expeditions were largely political and military failures, servicemen recruited by the Portuguese in England achieved greater success, including victory at the Battle of Aljubarrota. This article compares these expeditions for the first time. It looks at their political, diplomatic, military, social and economic contexts, exploring motivations for English service in Portugal in particular, from that of the common soldier to that of the governments. By looking at the itineraries in Portugal of English soldiers, their presence is mapped and their continuance debated. The Anglo-Portuguese examples demonstrate how foreign military intervention and mercenary activity might be a driving force in social and economic relations between regions of Europe during the Hundred Years War.

A former member of the parish clergy and an occasional servant of Richard II, the scholar Adam Davenport would become one of the main household officials of the Portuguese queen, Philippa of Lancaster, the daughter of John of Gaunt and the sister of Richard II’s usurper, Henry IV. On stepping down from office and Portugal’s royal court, he returned to his native country only to meet with Henry IV’s continued disapproval, leading him to a terminus vitae in relative modesty and obscurity.
This paper traces Adam Davenport’s professional trajectory of 45 years, from 1374 to 1419, across contrastive political regimes in two different countries, first as a local cleric, then as a senior administrator, and eventually as an unwaged outsider. As the social and financial ties between Davenport and his consecutive benefactors were kept or lost, according to the distribution of grace and the varying configuration of affinities, so Davenport’s fortune changed. The details of this three-tiered career put into focus the critical role played by displacement (geographical as much as societal) and the secular patronage on which men like Davenport – a middling member of an expanding clerical class – came to depend for survival.

In 1438 Pedro, Duke of Coimbra, was second-in-line to the Portuguese
throne. The death of his elder brother Duarte had left the royal seat vacant and Pedro, a middle-aged, powerful magnate was elected as regent for Duarte’s son Afonso, the boy of six to whom the crown fell. First as the co-regent and then single-handedly, Pedro governed over Portugal and its elites during a decade marked in turn by contentment and upheaval, as much as by courtly struggles between aristocratic factions. In 1449, amidst accusations of lese-majesty and of favouring his own, Pedro would meet a bitter end in the field of battle, at the hands of his young nephew, King Afonso V, seemingly manipulated by an influential clique of enemies to the regent. This paper will examine Pedro of Coimbra and some of the men surrounding him during his political career (c. 1416 to 1449), in particular those employed as «diplomats» in foreign service. It will trace three different stages in Pedro’s trajectory — as a prince in the making, as the king’s counsellor, and finally as regent of the Portuguese kingdom — in order to question the extent to which a leading magnate of the fifteenth century was able to project his political influence in tandem with, or in reaction to, royal power. Ultimately, the paper highlights the co-existence, and indeed the overlap, between royal
and non-royal diplomatic ambitions and the strains and challenges that it
caused in the politics and diplomacy of Portugal in this period.

This essay postulates that a copy of John's Gower's «Confessio Amantis» (which would originate near-contemporary versions in Portuguese and Castilian) came into into the hands of the queen of Portugal, Philippa of Lancaster (r. 1387-1415), from a non-Lancastrian source. Philippa kept several acquaintances in England while queen. Besides Richard II and Henry IV, who was Philippa’s brother, her known English correspondents included Archbishop Thomas Arundel of Canterbury, his nephew Thomas Fitzalan, earl of Arundel, and Henry Despenser, bishop of Norwich. All merit attention, but evidence is particularly suggestive wherever Henry Despenser (?1343–1406) appears as sender, recipient, or the very subject of letters. Not only does this evidence point to Despenser as a close associate of Philippa in England (at some point perhaps her closest) – but more importantly Bishop Despenser may well have been responsible for the «Confessio»’s arrival in Portugal.

Review in The Journal of English and Germanic Philology (Holly Barbaccia; excerpt):
"Attentive to the entangled dynastic, literary, and personal forces at work in Gower's Iberian reception, Tiago Viúla de Faria's essay, "From Norwich to Lisbon: Factionalism, Personal Association, and Conveying the Confessio Amantis," investigates how Philippa carried English literature and politics to Portugal. De Faria closely reads the queen's friendship and written correspondence with Henry Despenser, bishop of Norwich and Ricardian supporter, to theorize why, in Portugal, Philippa may have had the version of Gower she did. De Faria reminds us that even if Philippa shared her father's literary tastes, it does not therefore follow that she pursued his political agendas."

Review in Arthuriana (Kim Zarins; excerpt):
"In ‘From Norwich to Lisbon: Factionalism, Personal Association, and Conveying the
Confessio Amantis,’ Tiago Viúla de Faria poses an intriguing question to Robert Payn’s Portuguese translation of a first-recension manuscript: what is the sister of Henry IV doing with a manuscript dedicated to Richard II? De Faria attempts to answer this question by shedding light on Philippa of Portugal’s correspondence with Henry Despenser (c.1343–1406), the Bishop of Norwich, who had a long-standing relationship with Philippa despite some tension in his relationships with John of Gaunt and Henry IV. While not a Lancastrian partisan, Despenser was friendly with Philippa and indeed owed much to her defense of him; the manuscript could well have been one of the many gifts he sent to her in gratitude, and de Faria states that she would not have minded the Ricardian praise, since she and the Portuguese court ‘took a dim view of Bolingbroke’s actions’ (138)."

With André Filipe Oliveira da Silva, this is a special issue for the journal "Territórios & Fronteiras", from Brazil's Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso. In short, we aim to recover, as a dimension of medieval environmental history, the territorialisation and practice of royal power and the men who sought to enable it.

This will be the introduction to Philippa of Lancaster and the Court Culture of Medieval Portugal, which I am editing for Palgrave MacMillan.
The book's first group of essays sets Portugal, England, and the Iberian Peninsula against the wider context of ‘international’ contact and exchange. The second group aims to introduce Philippa of Lancaster to the reader in the many dimensions of her life trajectory, as well as her historical and popular reception. The last group of essays expounds in detail a number of literary, artistic, scientific, devotional, and intellectual filaments which lend shape to the culture of the Portuguese royal court between the late fourteenth century and the first decades of the fifteenth century.

A new and exciting research project funded by the Portuguese agency for science and technology (FCT), starting next year.
Project FALCO will look closely at the historical human links with raptors / birds of prey. Consisting of the avian families falconidae and accipitridae, raptors include
various species of hawk and falcon. These birds were no strangers to Portuguese (indeed European) medieval culture: human-raptor connections ranged from material partnerships to intellectual representation. The symbolism of raptors was well embedded in the medieval mind, yet as living beings raptors also played a role in a considerable range of human activities.
Through exploration and sustained debate, we aim by the end of the project to have reached a strong methodological foundation for the broad-ranging, cross-disciplinary investigation of medieval human-animal relations, set to work widely across subjects.

Paper co-authored with Sónia Gomes, read at the Report(h)a IV conference (14.10.2021).
ABSTRACT
The pre-modern man and the natural environment were almost inseparable. This bond did not fail to include the animal world. The approach to animal illness and trauma predatedwhat we know as veterinary science today. During the Middle Ages, practical and theoretical methods for curing animals were developed especially in the case of species which, due to their closer relaionship to man, were in a place of affection regarding human communities. The coexistence of knowledge, traditions and cultures (Jewish, Islamic and Christian) made the Iberian Peninsula a privileged setting for the development of veterinary knowledge. One of the best examples is the treatise known as the Libro de la montería, which was drawn up in Castile during the reign of Alfonso XI (1312-1350). As part of a Mozarabic tradition, it influenced in turn the production of other Iberian works, throughout the middle ages, such as the Tratado das enfermedades das aves de caça, from the time of King Dinis, and, obviously, King João I’s "Livro da Montaria". Our paper will focus on the Castilian "Libro de la Montería" as a technical and scientific record, particularly with regard to its approach to animal disease and cure. A particularly rich work and a basis for veterinary science, the "Libro de la Montería" also provides a mirror on the medieval man’s relationship with the natural environment.

This meeting delves into the complexities of the relationship between canis and human. The first iteration of the Medieval Hunting Meetings is dedicated to this topic, addressing key questions that include: Which sort of relation did humans have with wolves and dogs in the Middle Ages? Did Medieval humans contribute to the proximity with, or disaffection from, these animals? What role did these creatures play in the sphere of hunting? To this end, we have brought together a series of contributions, coming from quite different perspectives, to reflect on the understanding of inter-species coexistence in the longue durée, largely based on the Medieval Iberian record but far from limited to it. We look forward to the combined insights into our past life with canis, from the ecological, biological, archaeological, artistic, and other approaches taken in these papers.

The book of abstracts for the 18-19 July conference!
This meeting delves into the complexities of the relationship between canis and human. The first iteration of the Medieval Hunting Meetings is dedicated to this topic, addressing key questions that include: Which sort of relation did humans have with wolves and dogs in the Middle Ages? Did Medieval humans contribute to the proximity with, or disaffection from, these animals? What role did these creatures play in the sphere of hunting? To this end, we have brought together a series of contributions, coming from quite different perspectives, to reflect on the understanding of inter-species coexistence in the longue durée, largely based on the Medieval Iberian record but far from limited to it. We look forward to the combined insights into our past life with canis, from the ecological, biological, archaeological, artistic, and other approaches taken in these papers.

We invite the submission of unpublished, original research papers to be read at RiMS 2022. The third RiMS meeting will gather around the subject of diplomacy and diplomatic relations in their contribution to the shaping of the polities of Europe between the twelfth and the early sixteenth centuries. Building upon a pre-existing theroretical foundation, historical approaches to the European medieval state came to their fullest probably in the 1990s, this development certainly aided by an atmosphere of Euro-optimism and integration. A generation of scholars -- including Wim Blockmans, Giorgio Chittolini, Jean-Philippe Genet, or Charles Tilly -- led the way in looking for and amply discussing the constituents of the "medieval state", inspiring a mass of related research. Statebuilding narratives as applied to the medieval polity have not been without critique since, a common criticism being the anachronism of concepts. Another, which has long been highlighted (Joseph Strayer, On the Medieval Origins of the Modern State, 1970), but hardly followed through, is arguably the slowness with which medieval government branches dealing with external affairs and diplomacy came into being. The coming RiMS meeting takes stock of the state-formation in medieval Europe debate and its changing scholarly conceptions, in order to question diplomacy as one of its building blocks. Having in the background the transformation and gradual definition of geo-politicial borders and sovereignties in Europe, two key questions arise: How demanding were external affairs on political communities and governments as they became more structured? In turn, how did the growing need for more comprehensive diplomacy impact on the development of such structures? The call for papers is open to any scholar working on medieval Europe, particularly those who have produced, or potentially will produce, groundbreaking research. Proposals may cover longer-term examinations or focus more narrowly on a period and/or setting. Papers will be committed to double-blind peer review and a selection will be published by the Coimbra University Press both in print and as an open-access, database indexed e-monograph. We suggest the following core themes, insofar as they bring out the intersections between state-growth and diplomacy: Researchers are invited to send to [email protected] a 500-word proposal and an up to two-page curriculum vitae by 15 April 2022. The registration fee of €80 includes coffee break and meals (2 lunches and 2 dinners). A list of affordable hotels will be provided on our website. Keynote speakers are to be announced shortly.

RiMS - Research in Medieval Studies aims to raise awareness of the latest scientific advances and discuss innovative approaches to medievalism at the international level.
The first meeting (26 and 27 November) will discuss the linkage between production and trade across several European regions over an extended timeline. Factors such as technical and technological innovation, and advances in the productive sector will come under analysis as they connected with the development of merchant and commercial networks, and of economic markets.
Production and Commerce in Europe, 1100-1550 features Carsten Jahnke (Copenhagen) as guest convener and Bas van Bavel (Utrecht) as keynote speaker. Participation, via zoom, is free and does not require registration.

Porto, 26-27 November 2020
Call for papers is open till 20 March 2020
The RiMS Meeting invites research papers on how technical, productive, organisational, commercial, and mercantile innovations stimulated economic growth and the expansion of international trade from the twelfth century to the early sixteenth century. Recent historiographical works on medieval European trade follow approaches favouring the study of socioeconomic networks, the role of institutions, conflict management, port infrastructures, and cross-cultural exchange. In 2017, The Routledge Handbook of Maritime Trade Around Europe 1300–1600 pushed the theoretical analysis further by examining the level of autonomy of ports cities ‘vis-à-vis other powers in their environment or network,’ and the relation between cities and states. Moreover, it aimed at offering a ‘refreshing vision on Europe’s integration from the seaside’ (p. 11), one which was deepened in the 50th edition of the study week, in 2018, of the Fondazione Istituto Internazionale di Storia Economica “F. Datini” dedicated to Maritime Networks as a Factor of European Integration.
Rather than looking at the complexities of urban autonomy, conflict management, and European integration, the RiMS Meeting returns, in a certain way, to the classical approach proposed in Lopez’s ground-breaking work The Commercial Revolution of the Middle Ages 950-1350, first published in 1971. Thus, it proposes to observe Europe’s expansion of long-distance trade by re-evaluating and investigating, under the light of recent research, the articulation between the productive sectors (agriculture and industry) and foreign commercial exchange between the twelfth and the early sixteenth century. It seeks not to underline the revolution of medieval trade, but the intricacies of both the productive and commercial sectors for the centuries preceding the first global age. The chronology of this project will include the first five decades of the sixteenth century in order to examine elements of continuity and change in European production and commerce, following the expansion of trade to other continents and newfound lands.
The call for papers is open to every scholar working on European history, particularly those who have produced ground-breaking research on medieval economic history. The meeting proceedings will be published both in paper and as an open-access, indexed e-monograph by the Coimbra University Press. Papers will be committed to double-blind review from a specialist board of advisers.

1. The primary and secondary sectors in their articulation with long-distance trade
a. Which European regions developed specialised productions towards the export market, and what distinct features did they have?
b. How did the primary and secondary sectors articulate with long-distance trade?
2. Production, infrastructures, and markets

b. What links existed between the fluctuations in productivity and commerce, and those of economic growth?
c. How do historians evaluate the relevance of medieval overland and sea-borne transport?
4. Agents, commerce, and social dynamics
a. Which agents and organisations exerted control over production and distribution?
b. What relation between the production centre and the foreign market?
c. What changes did the expansion of production and international trade cause in society?
Researchers are invited to send a 500-words proposal and a up to two-page curriculum vitæ by 28 February 2020 to [email protected]. Applicants will be informed of the scientific committee’s decision by 31 March 2020.

Editors: Louis Sicking and Alain Wij fels Pre-modern long-distance trade was fraught with risks which often created con icts of interest. The ensuing disputes and the ways the actors involved dealt with them belong to the eld of con ict management. How did victims of maritime con icts claim compensation? How did individual actors and public institutions negotiate disputes which transcended jurisdictional boundaries? What strategies, arrangements and agreements could contribute to achieve the resolution of such con icts, and to what e fect? These and other questions have mainly been studied separately for the Mediterranean and Atlantic regions. Here, the two seascapes are connected, allowing for a comparative long-term perspective. The di ferent contributions enhance our understanding in the complexity of various approaches to con ict management. All interested in the history of trade, con ict management, international law, merchant law, economic policy, and anyone concerned with new institutional economics.
