I'm happy to discuss supervision and co-supervision arrangements on topics in Iberian history and culture (1200-1500), the Hundred Years' War, and on political life in the medieval West broadly considered. Current and past PhD and MA students of mine have worked on the diplomacy of King Dinis of Portugal (r. 1279-1325), on the Portuguese countess of Arundel in early fifteenth-century England, on Princess-Saint Joan of Portugal as a political persona, and on royal hunting management and personnel in late medieval Portugal.

Short Bio:
Coming from a trans-disciplinary background -- I trained in Modern Languages (NOVA BA), Medieval Studies (Reading MA), and History (Oxford DPhil) -- my main research interests lay on the configurations of later medieval diplomacy and cross-territorial political pollination and communication. Recently, I have developed a strong interest in medieval environmental studies, namely on falconry practices.
I have been a member of the Casa de Velázquez (Madrid), the École pratique des hautes études (Paris), Towson University (Baltimore, US), and the University of Porto, and have taught at NOVA-FCSH (Lisbon), Canterbury Christchurch University and the University of Kent (both UK), of which I remain an associate lecturer.
Over the years, I've peer-reviewed for The English Historical Review, En La España Medieval, the Journal of Medieval History, the Journal of Medieval Iberian Studies, Medievalista, Le Moyen Âge; and the Royal Studies Journal, where I served as the founding lead copyeditor.
.edit - At Oxford, I studied under John Watts and Malcolm Vale. As a non-tenured postgraduate, I have worked closely with Maria João Branco (NOVA, Lisbon), Rita Costa Gomes (Towson), and Stéphane Péquignot (EPHE-Sorbonne).edit

From about 1412, Infante Duarte, Portugal’s heir apparent, took on a large portion of the roles expected of a king, until 1433, the year he finally came to the throne. For two decades, his father, King João I – already a seasoned sovereign – had come to rely on the firstborn to assist him in the everyday management of royal administration, justice, and certain economic matters. This was to become known to historians as the prince–king “association”. This essay departs from an interrogation, of whether Duarte was able – or expected at all – to play a role of his own in diplomatic affairs. My argument takes into account Duarte’s posturing as the first in the line of succession, his position as one of several siblings in a tightly knit dynasty, and his own realisations in external politics. The documentary evidence surrounding several treaties involving Aragon, Castile and Navarre seems to point to Duarte’s restraint as a diplomatic player in his own right, even during the “association” period before he became king. For the most part, he remained subordinate to a dynastic logic, with his father firmly hanging on to the helm.

[The PDF is the PRE-PRINT VERSION before proof-reading; please contact me for the text in press.]
Encapsulated in this essay is the idea that, as the official representatives of the polity, royal emissaries while discharging their duties might not have been ready to put aside their personal interest entirely for the sake of their task. This suggestion preambles a discussion that will aim to contemplate the liberties and limits of diplomatic action at the disposal of an agent. Two suppositions can be considered from the outset: that complications within embassies might be moved, in part, by self-interest; and that these interests might differ from the intents of the principal mandating the embassy and get in the way of expected outcomes. My contribution looks into this undercurrent in diplomatic transactions, from the viewpoint of the agent’s own liberties and restrictions. Of particular interest is an assessment of how ambassadorial liberties were able to interfere with the political objectives of the state, and to capture the extent to which they could eventually affect the very policy itself.

Highlights
► Compares three Anglo-Portuguese campaigns in Portugal in the 1380s. ► Examines political, diplomatic, military, social and economic contexts. ► Explores motivations for English service in Portugal and longer term presence. ► Maps itineraries in Portugal of English soldiers. ► Foreign military intervention and mercenaries as a driving force in relations between regions.
Abstract
Three Anglo-Portuguese campaigns took English servicemen into Portugal in the 1380s. Two were largely guided by Plantagenet interests, in 1381–2 and 1386–7, respectively under the earl of Cambridge and the duke of Lancaster. The other, which began in 1384 under the regent João of Avis (later João I), involved entirely volunteer English forces. While the Lancastrian-led expeditions were largely political and military failures, servicemen recruited by the Portuguese in England achieved greater success, including victory at the Battle of Aljubarrota. This article compares these expeditions for the first time. It looks at their political, diplomatic, military, social and economic contexts, exploring motivations for English service in Portugal in particular, from that of the common soldier to that of the governments. By looking at the itineraries in Portugal of English soldiers, their presence is mapped and their continuance debated. The Anglo-Portuguese examples demonstrate how foreign military intervention and mercenary activity might be a driving force in social and economic relations between regions of Europe during the Hundred Years War.

A former member of the parish clergy and an occasional servant of Richard II, the scholar Adam Davenport would become one of the main household officials of the Portuguese queen, Philippa of Lancaster, the daughter of John of Gaunt and the sister of Richard II’s usurper, Henry IV. On stepping down from office and Portugal’s royal court, he returned to his native country only to meet with Henry IV’s continued disapproval, leading him to a terminus vitae in relative modesty and obscurity.
This paper traces Adam Davenport’s professional trajectory of 45 years, from 1374 to 1419, across contrastive political regimes in two different countries, first as a local cleric, then as a senior administrator, and eventually as an unwaged outsider. As the social and financial ties between Davenport and his consecutive benefactors were kept or lost, according to the distribution of grace and the varying configuration of affinities, so Davenport’s fortune changed. The details of this three-tiered career put into focus the critical role played by displacement (geographical as much as societal) and the secular patronage on which men like Davenport – a middling member of an expanding clerical class – came to depend for survival.

In 1438 Pedro, Duke of Coimbra, was second-in-line to the Portuguese
throne. The death of his elder brother Duarte had left the royal seat vacant and Pedro, a middle-aged, powerful magnate was elected as regent for Duarte’s son Afonso, the boy of six to whom the crown fell. First as the co-regent and then single-handedly, Pedro governed over Portugal and its elites during a decade marked in turn by contentment and upheaval, as much as by courtly struggles between aristocratic factions. In 1449, amidst accusations of lese-majesty and of favouring his own, Pedro would meet a bitter end in the field of battle, at the hands of his young nephew, King Afonso V, seemingly manipulated by an influential clique of enemies to the regent. This paper will examine Pedro of Coimbra and some of the men surrounding him during his political career (c. 1416 to 1449), in particular those employed as «diplomats» in foreign service. It will trace three different stages in Pedro’s trajectory — as a prince in the making, as the king’s counsellor, and finally as regent of the Portuguese kingdom — in order to question the extent to which a leading magnate of the fifteenth century was able to project his political influence in tandem with, or in reaction to, royal power. Ultimately, the paper highlights the co-existence, and indeed the overlap, between royal
and non-royal diplomatic ambitions and the strains and challenges that it
caused in the politics and diplomacy of Portugal in this period.

This essay postulates that a copy of John's Gower's «Confessio Amantis» (which would originate near-contemporary versions in Portuguese and Castilian) came into into the hands of the queen of Portugal, Philippa of Lancaster (r. 1387-1415), from a non-Lancastrian source. Philippa kept several acquaintances in England while queen. Besides Richard II and Henry IV, who was Philippa’s brother, her known English correspondents included Archbishop Thomas Arundel of Canterbury, his nephew Thomas Fitzalan, earl of Arundel, and Henry Despenser, bishop of Norwich. All merit attention, but evidence is particularly suggestive wherever Henry Despenser (?1343–1406) appears as sender, recipient, or the very subject of letters. Not only does this evidence point to Despenser as a close associate of Philippa in England (at some point perhaps her closest) – but more importantly Bishop Despenser may well have been responsible for the «Confessio»’s arrival in Portugal.

Review in The Journal of English and Germanic Philology (Holly Barbaccia; excerpt):
"Attentive to the entangled dynastic, literary, and personal forces at work in Gower's Iberian reception, Tiago Viúla de Faria's essay, "From Norwich to Lisbon: Factionalism, Personal Association, and Conveying the Confessio Amantis," investigates how Philippa carried English literature and politics to Portugal. De Faria closely reads the queen's friendship and written correspondence with Henry Despenser, bishop of Norwich and Ricardian supporter, to theorize why, in Portugal, Philippa may have had the version of Gower she did. De Faria reminds us that even if Philippa shared her father's literary tastes, it does not therefore follow that she pursued his political agendas."

"In ‘From Norwich to Lisbon: Factionalism, Personal Association, and Conveying the
Confessio Amantis,’ Tiago Viúla de Faria poses an intriguing question to Robert Payn’s Portuguese translation of a first-recension manuscript: what is the sister of Henry IV doing with a manuscript dedicated to Richard II? De Faria attempts to answer this question by shedding light on Philippa of Portugal’s correspondence with Henry Despenser (c.1343–1406), the Bishop of Norwich, who had a long-standing relationship with Philippa despite some tension in his relationships with John of Gaunt and Henry IV. While not a Lancastrian partisan, Despenser was friendly with Philippa and indeed owed much to her defense of him; the manuscript could well have been one of the many gifts he sent to her in gratitude, and de Faria states that she would not have minded the Ricardian praise, since she and the Portuguese court ‘took a dim view of Bolingbroke’s actions’ (138)."

This will be the introduction to Philippa of Lancaster and the Court Culture of Medieval Portugal, which I am editing for Palgrave MacMillan.
The book's first group of essays sets Portugal, England, and the Iberian Peninsula against the wider context of ‘international’ contact and exchange. The second group aims to introduce Philippa of Lancaster to the reader in the many dimensions of her life trajectory, as well as her historical and popular reception. The last group of essays expounds in detail a number of literary, artistic, scientific, devotional, and intellectual filaments which lend shape to the culture of the Portuguese royal court between the late fourteenth century and the first decades of the fifteenth century.

The last group of essays expounds in detail a number of literary, artistic, scientific, devotional, and intellectual filaments which lend shape to the culture of the Portuguese royal court between the late fourteenth century and the first decades of the fifteenth century.

Paper co-authored with Sónia Gomes, read at the Report(h)a IV conference (14.10.2021).
ABSTRACT
The pre-modern man and the natural environment were almost inseparable. This bond did not fail to include the animal world. The approach to animal illness and trauma predatedwhat we know as veterinary science today. During the Middle Ages, practical and theoretical methods for curing animals were developed especially in the case of species which, due to their closer relaionship to man, were in a place of affection regarding human communities. The coexistence of knowledge, traditions and cultures (Jewish, Islamic and Christian) made the Iberian Peninsula a privileged setting for the development of veterinary knowledge. One of the best examples is the treatise known as the Libro de la montería, which was drawn up in Castile during the reign of Alfonso XI (1312-1350). As part of a Mozarabic tradition, it influenced in turn the production of other Iberian works, throughout the middle ages, such as the Tratado das enfermedades das aves de caça, from the time of King Dinis, and, obviously, King João I’s "Livro da Montaria". Our paper will focus on the Castilian "Libro de la Montería" as a technical and scientific record, particularly with regard to its approach to animal disease and cure. A particularly rich work and a basis for veterinary science, the "Libro de la Montería" also provides a mirror on the medieval man’s relationship with the natural environment.
