'''Dom Diogo Gomes de Figueyredo''' (d. 1685) was a [[century::17th century]] [[nationality::Portugese]] soldier, diplomat, and [[fencing master]]. Little is known about his early life, but it seems likely that he studied fencing from a young age. He notes in his first treatise that he studied under a Diestro named [[Gonçalo Barbosa]]. His military career started in 1626, when he embarked from Lisbon with the royal armada and shipwrecked in Gascony. Figueyredo continued in the military through the Portuguese War of Restoration (1640 - 1665). He commanded in at least three of the five major battles in that war, and was credited for the victories at Montijo and Linhas de Elvas; he was also involved in many of the smaller encounters in the war, including the defense of the town of Almeida. Figueyredo also served the crown as master at arms, including instructing the young Prince Theodoszio in fencing.<ref name="Edition">[[Eric Myers|Myers, Eric]], and [[Steve Hick|Hick, Steve]].

Aside from his martial pursuits, Figueyredo was a renowned writer and poet. In ''Templo da Memoria'', Manuel do Galhegos applauds him as such to celebrate the Dukes of Bragança. Barbosa Machado cites one ode that comes from ''Memorias Funebres'' dedicated to D. Maria de Athaide and a song in ''Panegyrico'' which pays tribute to the death of Field Marshall André de Albuquerque.<ref name="Edition"/>

Perhaps it is no surprise, then, that Figueyredo is the author of at least two fencing manuals. He composed the first in 1628, titled ''[[Oplosophia e Verdadeira Destreza das Armas (MS Vermelho.nº.91)|Oplosophia e Verdadeira Destreza das Armas]]'' ("Philosophy and the True Skill of Arms", MS Vermelho.nº.91). This is a [[rapier]] text following the [[Jerónimo Sánchez de Carranza|Carrancista]] tradition of [[la Verdadera Destreza]]. His second treatise, written in 1653, was ''[[Memorial Da Prattica do Montante (MS 49.III.20.nº.21)|Memorial Da Prattica do Montante]]'' ("Memorial of the Practice of the Montante", MS 49.III.20.nº.21). In contrast to his earlier work, this treatise focuses on the [[montante]] (greatsword), a weapon that was the centerpiece of the older [[esgrima antigua]] ("ancient fencing") tradition which the Destreza supplanted. This abandonment of the new Spanish art in favor of traditional Iberian fencing is thought to be symbolic of Figueyredo's loyalty to the cause of Portuguese independence.<ref name="Edition"/>

Figueyredo's activities after the war are unknown; ultimately, he died on 30 September 1685 and was buried in the convent at Trinidade.

<p>'''[[Figueyredo Greatsword Simple Rule 1|Ⅰ]]'''</p>
 +
 
 +
<p>This first rule is the one which most reveals the elegance of the ''montante'', and whoever performs it well will be able to perform them all. You will place your body straight with the left foot in front, the ''montante'' with the point on the ground, taken by the cross in the right hand with the thumb down, and you will tap it forward with the right foot, turning the ''montante'' to set it in place.  Then you will give a ''talho'' from behind, from low to high, moving the right foot forward at the same time, and stopping with the ''montante'' in right angle in front of the face. From there you will remove the ''montante'' to give a ''revez'' cutting from behind with the other edge of the ''montante'', also from low to high, and at the same time moving the left foot forward, and stopping also with the ''montante'' in front of the face.  You will undo the rule removing backward the left foot with a ''talho'' equal to the first, and the right foot with a ''revez'', and take heed that the body must always turn toward where the ''montante'' cuts.  At the end of the rule, while standing still, you will give a ''talho'' to the left shoulder and return the ''montante'' to again place the point on the ground as at the beginning, and all the rules having to do with the ''montante negro'' will have this ending.</p>

<p>All the composed rules are counterpoint to the simple, and these the basis of the composed. And thus, planting the body with the left foot forward, you will give a ''talho'' from low to high, which will be accompanied forward by the right foot, stopping with the ''montante'' in font of the face. Then you will let fall the ''montante'' to the right to give an ''altibaxo'' putting in the left foot, and from where the ''montante'' comes to a stop you will give a ''talho'' from low to high accompanied by the right foot which you will move forward, stopping with the ''montante'' in front of the face. And then you will give a ''revez'' from low to high accompanied by the left foot which you will move forward, stopping with the ''montante'' in front of the face. Then you will let fall the ''montante'' to the left crossing the right arm over the left, and you will give an ''altibaxo revez'' moving the right foot forward, and from where the ''montante'' comes to a stop you will give a ''revez'' from low to high accompanied by the left foot which you will move forward, and stop with the ''montante'' in front of the face.  Next, you will undo this rule with the same blows, actions, and steps, retreating backward until you place your body as it began the rule.</p>

And from there, first moving the left foot forward, you will give a ''revez'' forward, ending with the ''montante'' high with the point forward, and passing it over head you will give a circling ''talho'' and a ''revez'', returning the ''montante'' to the position in which you began the rule, which you will undo in the following manner: You will first remove the left foot and give a ''talho'' forward, ending with the ''montante'' point forward in front of the face, and then a ''talho'',<ref name="talho">This is the order of the original, but they are likely transposed, and should be ''revez'' and ''talho'' instead.</ref> and a circling ''revez'',<ref name="talho"/> and ending with the ''montante'' in the same place.

All the composed rules are counterpoint to the simple, and these the basis of the composed. And thus, planting the body with the left foot forward, you will give a ''talho'' from low to high, which will be accompanied forward by the right foot, stopping with the ''montante'' in font of the face. Then you will let fall the ''montante'' to the right to give an ''altibaxo'' putting in the left foot, and from where the ''montante'' comes to a stop you will give a ''talho'' from low to high accompanied by the right foot which you will move forward, stopping with the ''montante'' in front of the face.  And then you will give a ''revez'' from low to high accompanied by the left foot which you will move forward, stopping with the ''montante'' in front of the face.  Then you will let fall the ''montante'' to the left crossing the right arm over the left, and you will give an ''altibaxo revez'' moving the right foot forward, and from where the ''montante'' comes to a stop you will give a ''revez'' from low to high accompanied by the left foot which you will move forward, and stop with the ''montante'' in front of the face.  Next, you will undo this rule with the same blows, actions, and steps, retreating backward until you place your body as it began the rule.

<p>This rule serves to drive your adversaries before you. You will start by giving a ''talho'' from behind while standing still, and another forward putting in the right foot and making ready the thrust over the right arm, which you will give forward while standing still, then putting in the left foot with a ''revez'', and one and another successive ''talhos'' to the right side, putting in the left foot, and then the right. Proceed in the rule readying the same thrust again, going forward as necessary until you finish with your adversaries.</p>

<p>Although rarely does one ''montante'' meet with another, when it happens, you should value your knowledge about the nature of all movements, both the steps of the feet as well as the blows of the ''montante'', all of which are derived from the movements of the sword. Based upon those of the sword, you can know the qualities of those for the ''montante'', their weakness or their strength, with the single difference that all the deflections, parries and attacks of the ''montante'' must be helped by the movements of the body. In responding to the adversary, you must be prepared to act in accordance with the greater force required by the blows of the ''montante''. This generalization will suffice for those who have the knowledge of the true skill of the sword, which is the foundation of all the arms that have been invented.</p>

You will give a ''talho'' from behind while standing still, and another putting in the right foot to end in position, and with this stance you will always move towards the adversary, deflecting the opposing ''montante'' with a ''revez'' to the outside, assisted by a step that you will give forward, you will give a ''talho'' to the closest leg, recovering once again the stance.

Although rarely does one ''montante'' meet with another, when it happens, you should value your knowledge about the nature of all movements, both the steps of the feet as well as the blows of the ''montante'', all of which are derived from the movements of the sword. Based upon those of the sword, you can know the qualities of those for the ''montante'', their weakness or their strength, with the single difference that all the deflections, parries and attacks of the ''montante'' must be helped by the movements of the body. In responding to the adversary, you must be prepared to act in accordance with the greater force required by the blows of the ''montante''. This generalization will suffice for those who have the knowledge of the true skill of the sword, which is the foundation of all the arms that have been invented.

<p>This rule is called Guarding a Cloak, because it is used to defend one which has fallen to the ground, or which was deliberately dropped at your feet  so as not to hinder you. You will plant the body in a wide stance, and give a ''talho'' while standing still, then another putting in the right foot, and another again putting in the same right foot, walking like a screw over the left. You will undo the rule by giving a ''revez'' while standing still, another putting in the left foot and another also putting in the same left foot. For the ''revezes'' you will move always over the right foot, which you will not remove from its place, likewise with the left when you give the ''talhos'', which then serves as an axis for the body.</p>

Give a ''talho'' forwards in the direction where the people are, with a step forwards, in such a manner that you cross the road, and walking forth, when moving the same foot forward you will give another ''talho'' like the first. Turning to cross back over the road, you will face the same direction again, giving a ''revez'' with the right foot, and with the same foot following it with another. If the road is wide, in order to take it all, you will give more ''revezes'' or more ''talhos'' in the same manner.

And at the end of the three ''revezes'' that you give turning about the right foot, add again a circling ''talho'' and a circling ''revez'', and successively another ''talho'' and another ''revez'', with the left hand low and against the body to be more firm, and so the blows will be executed with more force.</p>

This rule is called Guarding a Cloak, because it is used to defend one which has fallen to the ground, or which was deliberately dropped at your feet  so as not to hinder you. You will plant the body in a wide stance, and give a ''talho'' while standing still, then another putting in the right foot, and another again putting in the same right foot, walking like a screw over the left.

The second posture is to place the right foot forward, and the ''montante'' in obtuse angle along the left diagonal to deflect by ''revez'' the thrusts aimed at the right side, and successively give another ''revez'' with the jump as described in the simple rule; or else after deflecting the thrust with the ''revez'', to ready the thrust with the pommel on the right shoulder, which you will give moving the left foot forward followed by the right, and then finish putting in the left foot with the ''revez''. In the first posture, if the adversary’s blow is aimed below the belt, you will deflect it with the ''montante'' moving in acute angle along the left diagonal, shifting the body with a moderate step along the line of infinity towards the right side, and letting fall the ''montante'' to the left side with the hands exchanged, you will put in successively the left foot, and following it the right foot with an ''altibaxo'' to ready the thrust over the right arm, and give it moving the left foot forward, to finish giving an ''altibaxo revez''.

All of this is helped by the steps made with the feet, so as not to create mishap during the transition from one rule to another when it matters, initiating at the end of any rule, be it simple or composed, the one you wish to perform next.  And with these admonitions which you should keep in mind, from all these thirty-two rules you can weave together one as general proof of the perfection of so excellent, graceful, and superior a weapon as the ''montante''.

Dom Diogo Gomes de Figueyredo (d. 1685) was a 17th century Portuguese soldier, diplomat, and fencing master. Little is known about his early life, but it seems likely that he studied fencing from a young age. He notes in his first treatise that he studied under a Diestro named Gonçalo Barbosa. His military career started in 1626, when he embarked from Lisbon with the royal armada and shipwrecked in Gascony. Figueyredo continued in the military through the Portuguese War of Restoration (1640 - 1665). He commanded in at least three of the five major battles in that war, and was credited for the victories at Montijo and Linhas de Elvas; he was also involved in many of the smaller encounters in the war, including the defense of the town of Almeida. Figueyredo also served the crown as master at arms, including instructing the young Prince Theodoszio in fencing.[1]

Aside from his martial pursuits, Figueyredo was a renowned writer and poet. In Templo da Memoria, Manuel do Galhegos applauds him as such to celebrate the Dukes of Bragança. Barbosa Machado cites one ode that comes from Memorias Funebres dedicated to D. Maria de Athaide and a song in Panegyrico which pays tribute to the death of Field Marshall André de Albuquerque.[1]

Perhaps it is no surprise, then, that Figueyredo is the author of at least two fencing manuals. He composed the first in 1628, titled Oplosophia e Verdadeira Destreza das Armas ("Hoplosophy and the True Skill of Arms",[2] MS Vermelho.nº.91). This is a rapier text following the Carrancista tradition of la Verdadera Destreza. His second treatise, written in 1653, was Memorial Da Prattica do Montante ("Memorial of the Practice of the Montante", MS 49.III.20.nº.21). In contrast to his earlier work, this treatise focuses on the montante (greatsword), a weapon that was the centerpiece of the older esgrima antigua ("ancient fencing") tradition which the Destreza supplanted. This abandonment of the new Spanish art in favor of traditional Iberian fencing is thought to be symbolic of Figueyredo's loyalty to the cause of Portuguese independence.[1]

Figueyredo's activities after the war are unknown; ultimately, he died on 30 September 1685 and was buried in the convent at Trinidade.
