He has also highlighted that for these historians the “function of history is not consistent with generalizations”, being recognized the need of studying the Portuguese history in its own pace, distinct from the any other reality, and, in the case of Beazley, of “defining a perspective about an European culture where the Portuguese contribution proves itself useful to a comprehensible sequence” (Jorge Borges de Macedo, “A Historiografia Britânica…”, 1973, pp. 27-29). Charles Raymond Beazley was knighted by the British Monarchy in 1931 and died on February 1^st, 1955, in Birmingham.
