His works include, among others, "Ricos homens, Infanções e Cavaleiros" (on the medieval society)," Fragments of a Medieval Composition "(in response to the arguments of Antonio Borges Coelho) and f" Identification of A country Essay on the Origins of Portugal (1096–1325) "(Vol. I-'Opposition' vol. II -" Composition "), with five editions constantly revised and updated between 1985 and 1995. Prof. Mattoso was awarded the Alfredo Pimenta prize of Medieval History, and the non-fiction Prize of Pen club for this work. He was also awarded the Fernando Pessoa Prize in 1987, among other important distinctions.
