Vicente Mendes opened the possibility to a first approach to this prelate’s life and to the analysis of his standing on the face of the struggle held by the bishops against the central power. Based on a considerable amount of documentation from the diocese of Oporto, the authors also prepared a diplomatic analysis of the documents that somehow reflect D. Vicente Mendes’ role as the man behind the Diocese.engD. Vicente MendesDiocese of Oporto13th centurybook part
