Summary

[edit]
Description

Brás Garcia de Mascarenhas (século XVII), militar e poeta português.

No contexto da Guerra da Restauração da independência portuguesa, ao final do século XVII, organizou um batalhão de voluntários - a Companhia dos Leões da Beira -, que se celebrizou por diversas ações de guerra. Como recompensa pelos seus serviços, recebeu o governo do Castelo de Alfaiates, situado na fronteira.

Tendo desobedecido ao general-comandante da Beira, Sancho Manuel, foi detido na torre de menagem do Castelo do Sabugal.

Sendo aqui inúteis as suas habilidades como espadachim, neste momento de dificuldade, o seu talento como poeta sugeriu-lhe uma idéia. A fim de implorar clemência ao soberano e para justificar os seus atos, escreveu a D. João IV (1640-1656) uma missiva inteiramente em verso, com todas as letras recortadas de um livro de hagiografias: o poema épico Viriato Trágico. O rei, impressionado com o talento e a habilidade do cativo, devolveu-lhe a liberdade. <a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Br%c3%a1s_Garcia_de_Mascarenhas" rel="nofollow">pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Br%c3%a1s_Garcia_de_Mascarenhas</a>
