Perfect Prince: A Biography of the King Dom João II de Elaine Sanceau.
Livraria Civilização Editora. Barcelos, 1959, 446 págs. B. Il.

An English-language historical biography focusing on the life and reign of King John II of Portugal (1455–1495). The author, Elaine Sanceau, examines the process of royal power centralization and the unification of the kingdom’s forces around the throne, contrasting it with the aristocratic dispersal during the previous reign of King Afonso V. The text details the monarch’s strategic vision to sustain and solidify the overseas expansion project inherited from his great-uncle, Prince Henry the Navigator. The edition features 11 out-of-text plates, including portraits, maps, and historical document reproductions.
