Note 186 — II 1325-1521

His son Fernam de Pina became Cronista Môr in 1523. The immediate successor of Zurara as Cronista Môr was Vasco Fernandez de Lucena, whose life must have coincided almost exactly with the sixteenth century. He represented King Duarte at the Council of Basel in 1435, and according to Barbosa Machado, who calls him um dos varões mais famosos da sua idade assim na profundidade da litteratura como na eloquencia da frase, he was still living in 1499. Unfortunately none of his works have survived. His manuscript translation of Cicero’s De Senectute and other works were destroyed in the Lisbon earthquake (1755).
