1 Queen Isabel of Aragon, the wife of the Portuguese King Dom Dinis, was devoted to helping the poor. When her husband upbraided her for giving money to beggars, the queen drew back her cloak to reveal not money but a magnificent bunch of roses. The king, seeing this miracle, allowed her to continue her good works.

2 João de Deus (1830–96) was the greatest poet of his generation, but he turned his attention to education. His Cartilha maternal, a reading primer published in 1876, was used in schools for more than fifty years.

3 Chard.
