Abstract (EN): The aim of this article is to analyze the most relevant passages devoted to the history of medieval Portugal in one of the texts written under the aegis of the Marquis of Pombal (Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, 1699-1782)31, the Dedução Cronológica e Analítica32 (hereafter Dedução). By doing so I will show how the uses of the past, even the most remote one, were strategical in mid and late 18th century political debates in Portugal. Even though this is a very well-known text, to my knowledge, there is still no work specifically dedicated to this subject
