António Lobo de Carvalho

1730–1787 · lived 57 years PT

António Lobo de Carvalho was born in Guimarães, around 1730, the son of Diogo Ferreira da Silva and Jerónima Lobo. His education is unknown. Of a turbulent nature, he had to flee to Porto at one point, where he lived. Later, he left there for Lisbon, where he gave free rein to his talent as a satirical poet. Doctor Sampaio, a celebrated lawyer of those times, called him a living lampoon. He also became known as O Lobo da Madragoa. He remained single his entire life. He died on October 26, 1787, and was buried in the extinct convent of Jesus of the Third Order of S. Francisco, in the parish of Nossa Senhora das Mercês. He was a friend of the poet João Xavier de Matos, who died shortly after him, in 1789.
