Francisco de Monzón (?-1575), Spanish religious, born in Madrid, Master of Arts and Doctor of Theology from the University of Alcalá, arrived in Portugal in 1535 at the invitation of King João III, having taught Theology at the University of Lisbon and, from 1537, in Coimbra. Alongside his teaching activities, Monzón was chaplain and preacher in the courts of D. João III and D. Sebastião I, having carried out an important educational and pastoral activity with the two sovereigns. Second edition of the first book of one of his most notable works, dedicated to D. Sebastião I, the first edition having been printed in Lisbon, by Luís Rodrigues, in 1544.
