“…A letter written by Gonçalo Domingues under royal command (Estremoz, February 25th 1327) has been considered by portuguese historians as an ordenamento (ordinance) forbidding lawyers and attorneys to be in residence in the royal Court tribunals.However, the internal analysis of the said letter, and its comparison with other charters of undisputed normative nature, as well as with the ordinance commonly accepted as having been issued on February 18th 1332, in Estremoz, allow us to infer that the mentioned 1327 letter is an introductory note whose primordial purpose was to accompany and introduce the ordinance of February 18th 1332, in its diffusion throughout the Kingdom: this leads to the conclusion that the allegedelly 1332 ordinance was in fact enacted in 1327. …”
