Quick Summary

The Crónica do Imperador Clarimundo (1520) is a chivalric romance written by Jo\u00e3o de Barros. This work recounts the adventures of a fictional ancestor of the king of Portugal. Barros was a Portuguese historian and civil servant, also known for his monumental work, D\u00e9cadas da \u00c1sia, which documented Portuguese exploration and colonization in Asia. The Cr\u00f3nica do Imperador Clarimundo was instrumental in encouraging King Manuel I to support Barros's ambition to write a grand history of the Portuguese in Asia.12
