.
He was See also:present at his See also:death at Alvor on the 25th of See also:October 1495
.

King Manoel, whom he accompanied to See also:Castile in 1498, and from whom he obtained a See also:knighthood of the See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
Order of See also:Christ
.
In 1514 See also:Resende went to See also:Rome with Tristao da Cunha, as secretary and treasurer of the famous See also:embassy sent by the king to offer the See also:tribute of the See also:East at the feet of See also:Pope See also:Leo X
.
In 1516 he was given the See also:rank of a nobleman of the royal See also:household, and became escrivao de fazenda to See also:Prince John, afterwards King John III., from whom he received further See also:pensions in 1525
.
Resende built a See also:chapel in the monastery of Espinheiro near Evora, the See also:pantheon of the See also:Alemtejo See also:nobility, where he was buried
.
He began to cultivate the making of verses in the See also:palace of John II., and he tells us how one See also:night when the king was in See also:bed he caused him (Resende) to repeat some " trovas " of Jorge See also:Manrique, saying it was as needful for a See also:man to know them as to know the See also:Pater Noster
.
Under these conditions, Resende See also:grew up no mean poet, and moreover distinguished himself by his skill in See also:drawing and See also:music; while he collected into an See also:album the best See also:court See also:verse of the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

The Cancioneiro Geral, probably begun in 1483 though not printed until 1516, includes the compositions of some three See also:hundred fidalgos of the reigns of See also:kings See also:Alphonso V., John II. and Manoel
.
The See also:main subjects of its pieces are love, See also:satire and See also:epigram, and most of them are written in the See also:national redondilha verse, but the See also:metre is irregular and the rhyming careless
.
The See also:Spanish See also:language is largely employed, because the See also:literary progenitors of the whole collection were Juan de See also:Mena, Jorge Manrique, Boscan and Garcilasso
.
As a See also:rule the compositions were improvised at palace entertainments, at which the poets present divided into two bands, attacking and defending a given theme throughout successive evenings
.
At other times these poetical soirees took the See also:form of a See also:mock trial at See also:law, in which the See also:queen of John II. acted as See also:judge
.
Resende was much twitted by other rhymesters on his See also:corpulence, but he repaid all their gibes with See also:interest
.
The See also:artistic value of the Cancioneiro Geral is slight
.
Conventional in See also:tone, the greater See also:part are imitations of Spanish poets and show no trace of See also:inspiration in their authors
.
The Cancioneiro is redeemed from See also:complete insipidity by Resende himself, and his See also:fine verses on the death of D
.
Ignez de See also:Castro inspired the See also:great See also:episode in the Lusiads of See also:Camoens (q.v.)
.
Resende is the compiler of a gossiping See also:chronicle of his See also:patron John II., which, though plagiarized from the chronicle by Ruy de See also:Pina (q.v.), has a value of its own
.
The past lives again in these pages, and though Resende's anecdotes may be unimportant in themselves, they reveal much of the inner See also:life of the 15th See also:century
.
Resende's Miscellanea, a rhymed commentary on the most notable events of his time, which is annexed to his Chronicle, is a document full of See also:historical interest, and as a poem not without merit
.
The See also:editions of his Chronicle are those of 1545, 1554, 1596, 1607, 1622, 1752 and 1798
.
His Cancioneiro appeared in 1516, and was reprinted by Kausler at See also:Stuttgart in 3 vols., 1846-52
.
A new edition has recently come from the university See also:press at See also:Coimbra
