Álvaro tinha recebido de D. Antônio de Mariz todos os princípios daquela antiga lealdade cavalheiresca do século XV, os quais o velho fidalgo conservava como o melhor legado de seus avós; o moço moldava todas as suas ações, todas as suas idéias, por aquele tipo de barões portugueses que haviam combatido em Aljubarrota ao lado do Mestre de Avis, o rei cavalheiro.

The setting

Álvaro had received from D. Antônio de Mariz all the principles of that old chivalric loyalty of the fifteenth century, which the old nobleman kept as the best legacy of his forebears; the young man shaped all his deeds, all his ideas, upon that type of Portuguese barons who had fought at Aljubarrota beside the Master of Avis, the knight-king.
