The writer of La Pobra do Brollón, Olga Novo, has just published in his forest of chromosomes, in the magazine Luzes, “Beloved Shadow Guimara”, where he delves into the origins of A Pobra do Brollón and the Guímaros. The publication serves as prologue to the VI Guimara Medieval Fair, since the new documentation provided by Olga Novo has to do with those medieval conflicts, which gave rise to lawsuits between the inhabitants of A Pobra do Brollón and the Counts of Lemos.
For the first time, it is mentioned with its own name, Lope de Ferreiros, for the individual who later becomes the founding myth of Guimaralia. The original document of the “Carta Pobra” was also found in which it is said that the origin of A Pobra do Brollón would be in Santalla, previously Santa Eulalia de Rei, archpriest in the Middle Ages, and an enclave that was burned and destroyed. Later, the new location is founded in San Pedro de Entrambas Augas, the current location of A Pobra.
The new, unpublished documentation provided by Olga Novo is very relevant to the history of the City Council and the people of Guimaras, and will have a special role in this edition of the Guimara, since after the proclamation of the local poet, Noa Moreira; Olga Novo will present this documentation and its significance to the residents.
Subsequently, Jose do Incio and Suso Corenta will perform their blind songs, where they have prepared a specific theme for the figure of this first guímaro. In addition, in the guided tour of the old town, which will be given by the archaeologist, George Ayan at 6:30 p.m., will offer new perspectives supported by these new findings.
