RELAÇAM da Entrada que Francisco de Mello Senhor de Ficalho & Governador da Praça de Moura, fez no Condado de Niebla, Aonde Saqueou, & queimou a Villa de Alqueria, por outro nome, Puebla de Gusman, que he huma das melhores de todo aquelle Condado. Lisboa: Valentim da Costa Deslandes, 1704.

8 pp.; 205 mm.

Rare news pamphlet printed in Lisbon in 1704, which documents a Portuguese military incursion in the context of the War of Spanish Succession. It reports on the offensive led by Francisco de Melo, Lord of Ficalho and governor of the Plaza de Moura, against the Andalusian town of Puebla de Guzmán (then known as Alqueria), one of the most prosperous in the County of Niebla. The text, imbued with a propagandistic tone, describes the looting and burning of the town, in an action intended to destabilize Castilian rule on the border. Representative of war literature and the news press of the early 18th century, this is a rare testimony of Portuguese participation in this important European conflict.
