Abstract

In the last century (20th) most of the Portuguese historians have studied the works of the previous specialists, considering the established notions of periodization, we also sought to see in this memory of the historiographical past the main reasons for the establishment of different models of periodization into Portuguese Middle Ages. In this essay we present an overview of periodization methods and regarding periodization like a sort of systemized form to arrange the past. Beginning by contextualizing the importance of periodization in Western History, and then explain the most important choices of periodization in Portuguese historiography, highlighting the relationship between changing thematic foci, historiographic domain and author's choices. Thus, in an intentionally retrospective point of view - starting from the most recent periodizations (chronological systems) from History to the oldest ones -, we will reveal the context of the Portuguese historiographic production on the periodization of Portugal's Medieval History
