This paper aims to examine Sigea’s position to the question of life at court, the central topic of the Colloquium (Dialogue between two young women on courtly and private life), published in 1552 in Lisbon. The development of the text starts with the explanation of some aspects such as the princes’ mirror (specula principum) and the palace circle of the Princess D. Maria, during the Portuguese Renaissance Humanism. Further on the text, it is analyzed how Sigea interprets the training needed to achieve happy life (beatauita).
