Damião de Góis, was born in Alenquer in a family of the Portuguese nobility, grew up in the court of D. Manuel I where he had access to musical learning. Later, a diplomat under King John III had contact with Franco-Flemish music, developed in the chapels of the court of Burgundy and lived with important humanists of his time as Erasmus and Bembo. His compositions as well as his musical taste in the French-Flemish style served as an argument in a complaint in the Holy Office that ended up leading to his death in 1574.
