Leaded by desercers oflocal milicias, approximately 300 armed men founded the "Ciry of the Heavenly Paradise" and waited for the imminent return ofDom Sebastião and his mighry army. They expected that the arrival of Dom Sebastião would mark rhe beginning of an era of wealth and prosperiry and were ready to fight against rhose who might oppose the man they considered the only true king.
