Abstract

In the Early Modern period, the wealthiest, most prestigious and powerful Portuguese cathedral chapter was that of Evora. However, there is not a single study on this institution which focuses on that period. With this article we intend to achieve two objectives. On the one hand, we study the institutional evolution of the chapter, from the elevation of Evora to metropolitan see until the early 19th century. On the other hand, we analyze the channels of access to the chapter in order to identify the balance of power between the Holy See and the archdiocese and the extraordinary channels (coadjutorships and resignations) used by certain groups to preserve and transmit the canonries and dignities of the chapter, which were almost turned into inherited assets.
