The paper focuses on the identification of armourers, their labour in different locations and positions, their expertise and work techniques, as well as the organization of the administrative structure of armourers and their workshops in Portugal. The analysis is centred on Royal Chanceries, looking for the interference of government on the armourer’s work; and on the municipal documents that regulate the craftsmen’s labour.
