Using papers of contemporary military and political figures inherited in maternal archives, the author constructs the biography of Antonio, styled Prior of Crato and King of Portugal (1531-95), the bastard son of the Jewess Violante Gomez and Luis duke of Beja (younger son of King Emanuel). In 1578 on the death of King Sebastian at the battle of Alcazar-Kebir, Antonio too was taken prisoner.
