ResumoThis text aims to discuss some aspects of the portuguese "nobiliary ethos" during the Ancien Régime, that discussion is made as a precondition to the evaluation - even if briefly sketched - of its effects and consequences in the plural society of Portuguese America. The author tries to access in each way ancient patterns, borrowed from the model of the medieval knights but consecrated in the legal and symbolic orders, not only could define behaviors and social structuration processes, but also how these - specially the Crown efforts to function as a regulatory instance of access and reproduction of the nobility - could, reversibly, change those patterns.
