However, a little over a decade later, Damião de Góis ( writing in 1567 ), announced that the Zurara manuscript had disappeared.

Given the eminence of Góis, this erroneous dating has been cited by others, and has been a cause of much confusion for later histories and chronologies.

It has been controversially alleged by some historians ( starting with Damião de Góis ) that later 16th C. chroniclers Duarte Galvão and Ruy de Pina composed their chronicles of the remaining reigns from draft manuscripts left behind by Fernão Lopes-not merely drawing upon them, but plagiarizing them in whole or in part, to the point that Fernão Lopes is sometimes credited as their joint author.
