The A. examines the strained relationship between Portuguese nobles, in particular Nuno Fernandes de Ataide and D. Nuno Mascarenhas, and Yahya-u-Ta c fuft, a Berber alcaide in the service of the king of Portugal. Although D. Manuel, the king of Portugal, viewed all the parties as loyal servants of Portugal, they seemed incapable of coexisting for extended periods without suspicion, recrimination, and outright hatred. The notion of honor, as conceived by both the Portuguese and Yahya, was the primary cause of this problematic relationship. Furthermore, the A. challenges the utility of the traditional bipartite theory of honor as articulated by Julian Pitt-Rivers and J. G. Peristiany, among others, and seeks to replace it with Frank Henderson Stewart's theory of honor as a right
