Abstract(s)
A região de Elvas teve grande importância a nível estratégico, civil, militar e religioso,
ao longo dos séculos. Tornou-se sede de diocese em 1570, aquando se promoveu uma das
grandes reformas do território eclesiástico em Portugal.
A circunscrição eclesiástica em Portugal foi alvo de grandes transformações em dois
grandes momentos, no século XVI e, mais tarde, no século XIX. A presente dissertação
apresenta os fatores que levaram à extinção desta diocese no século XIX.
Partindo de uma contextualização histórica da criação da diocese de Elvas e da própria
restruturação no século XVI, olhamos depois para a reordenação realizada no século XIX,
procurando conhecer o panorama geral de Portugal, para evidenciar o caso do bispado elvense.
Depois de compreender o último período de existência deste bispado, pretende-se
conhecer as suas instituições diocesanas, o estado de funcionamento de cada uma delas e
esclarecer o papel dos prelados durante esse tempo.
Por fim, apresentam-se os fatores civis e políticos que contribuíram para a supressão de
Elvas enquanto diocese. Identificamos, de igual modo, os movimentos populares que
protestaram contra a decisão da extinção, salientando os sentimentos de nostalgia que ficaram
na cidade de Elvas depois da perca da dignidade episcopal.
Esta é uma investigação que demonstra o declínio de uma diocese que sofreu as
consequências do contexto histórico-político do século XIX.
The region of Elvas had great importance at a strategic, civil, military and religious level, over the centuries. It became the seat of a diocese in 1570, when one of the great reforms of the ecclesiastical territory in Portugal was promoted. The ecclesiastical circumscription in Portugal underwent major transformations in two great moments, in the 16th century and, later, in the 19th century. This dissertation presents the factors that led to the extinction of this diocese in the 19th century. Starting from a historical context of the creation of the diocese of Elvas and the restructuring itself in the 16th century, we then look at the reordering carried out in the 19th century, seeking to know the general panorama of Portugal, to highlight the case of the bishopric of Elvas. After understanding the last period of existence of this bishopric, it is intended to know its diocesan institutions, the state of operation of each of them and clarify the role of prelates during that time. Finally, the civil and political factors that contributed to the suppression of Elvas as a diocese are presented. We also identified the popular movements that protested against the decision of extinction, highlighting the feelings of nostalgia that remained in the city of Elvas after the loss of episcopal dignity. This is an investigation that demonstrates the decline of a diocese that suffered the consequences of the historical-political context of the 19th century.
