EnglishThe present study explores how the Norwegian usurper, King Sverre (1184-1202) exploited three princely burials to overthrow the ruling king and establish his dynasty. Both in 1179 and 1184, King Sverre took full advantage of his military victories to gain popular support for his claims to the throne, in transforming the burial of his most prominent enemies felt on the battlefield into a rostrum for his political propaganda, through speeches and ritual staging. Sverre's own agony and funerals were also meticulously staged in order to defend his rule from accusations of excommunication and pave the way for his succession. The study provides insights on the challenges met by a usurper on his way to royal power and, in particular, on the concomitant relationship between military combat and the work of political persuasion portuguesO presente estudo explora o modo como o usurpador noruegues, o rei Sverre (1184-1202), fez uso do enterro de tres principes para provocar a queda do monarca reinante e estabelecer a sua dinastia. Em 1179 e 1184 o rei Sverre aproveitou as suas vitorias militares para conquistar o apoio popular as suas pretensoes ao trono, transformando o funeral dos seus mais destacados inimigos, mortos nos campos de batalha, no palco da sua propaganda politica, atraves de discursos e de encenacoes rituais. A propria agonia de Sverre, bem como os seus funerais, foram meticulosamente encenados com o objetivo de alinhar a sua sucessao e defender os seus direitos perante as acusacoes de excomunhao. Este estudo analisa os desafios enfrentados por um usurpador no seu caminho ao poder regio e, em particular, a coexistencia do combate militar com o esforco de persuasao politica.
