History Series / DeusSalveORei

* HypnotizeThePrincess: [[spoiler:Brice puts a spell on Amália to make her forget Afonso just so that she can fall for Virgilio]].

* OnlyThePureOfHeart: The artist Osiel is deemed pure and worthy of bringing down and restraining the witch Brice, since she has no power over him and he shows to be honest, nice, kind man that is unable to lie.

* RealityEnsues:
** Afonso picks up a fight with a city guard that was harassing his girlfriend. No matter how justified he was, he still finds himself in the prison cells.
** Rodolfo managed to get a pure-hearted man to root out the witch out of his castle... That doesn't mean he is free from her spell just yet.

* OnlyChildSyndrome: Catarina is King Augusto's heir and has no siblings. Its shown that she has a cousin, however.

* LowestCosmicDenominator: The characters often swear by "God" and the local religion looks a lot like Christianity wearing Orthodox-styled garbs and hats (which is unusual considering the setting is ostensibly like Western Europe, which has been historically Catholic). While there is no mentions of Christ and the Holy Spirit, Afonso makes a make-shift cross to mark a grave for a deceased character and a few crosses are depicted.

* YourCheatingHeart: Not even marriage could stop Rodolfo's philandering. The following morning after marrying Lucrécia, he tries to kiss Catarina in the courtyard since he still nurtures feelings for her.

''Deus Salve o Rei'' (English: ''God Save the King'') is a {{Brazilian|Media}} SoapOpera produced by Rede Globo in 2018 [[FollowTheLeader following the success]] of series like ''Series/GameOfThrones'' and ''Series/{{Vikings}}''. The series takes place in a fantasy region known as Cália, home to the two kingdoms of Montemor and Artena that for many years have lived in harmony sharing natural resources with each other: Montemor provides precious ores while Artena lends water, which is highly scarce to the former. [[TheHighQueen Queen Crisélia]] of Montemor tries to circumvent their dependence on Artena by building an aqueduct to a lake, which dries up on its inauguration day much to their embarrassment. She sends her grandson [[TheHero Afonso]], the heir of Montemor's throne, in search of an alternate source of water for their people but during the expedition, his group is attacked by outlaws and the prince is presumed dead. [[RescueRomance His life is saved]] by [[PluckyGirl Amália]], a farm girl from Artena, and the two fall in love with each other. A crisis between the two realms begins when Montemor's heir goes missing with his younger brother Rodolfo being [[SpareToTheThrone forced to become king]] despite being [[SketchySuccessor completely unprepared]], while [[TheEvilPrincess Princess]] [[BigBad Catarina]] [[FemmeFatale of Artena]], the king's daughter, plots to [[AmbitionIsEvil gain more influence over its neighborhood]] specially in the company of [[ManipulativeBastard Constantino of Vincenza]], a foreign nobleman that shares her ambitious views.

* BedTrick: Catarina creates one in order to [[spoiler:annul her wedding with the Marquis. She gets both him and her cousin drunk and have them sleep in the same bed. She proceeds to summon her father to see her fiance in the arms of another woman, prompting King Augusto to exile Istvan and cancel the wedding]].
* BigGood: King Augusto of Artena. Not only he protects his kingdom, but keeps Montemor's stable by granting them water and is clearly the most rational, wise and noble ruler in the story.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Catarina and Constantino fall in love with each other due to both of them being wicked and ambitious people with very warlike views.

* CueTheRain: The first rain falls in Montemor after many years. [[spoiler:Though it may have been the inadvertent result of Selene crying for failing on her climbing test]].

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Despite the series taking place in a medieval-like setting, it also contains parallels to contemporary real-life issues in modern-day Brazil such as water scarcity, which is one of the driving elements of the plot.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:Despite all the trails and tribulations endured over the course of the series, Montemor and Artena managed to heal relationships with them with King Augusto regaining the throne, Catarina being executed for her crimes along King Otávio, and Afonso finally managing to marry Amália who becomes Queen of Montemor. The series' final shot concludes with a heavy rain to fix the water scarcity]].

* OrphanedEtymology: Plenty of it.
** Despite the series taking place in a medieval fantasy, the dialogue heavily utilizes Brazilian Portuguese expressions instead of the closest equivalent which would be European Portuguese.
** The characters often swear by "God" and the local religion looks a lot like Christianity wearing Orthodox-styled garbs and hats (which is unusual considering the setting is ostensibly like Western Europe, which has been Catholic), but there are no mentions of Christ and crosses, although, Afonso makes a make-shift cross to mark a grave for a deceased character.

* YouCantGoHomeAgain: [[spoiler:Artena effectively ceases to exist after Montemor wins the war, as its people get displaced and forced to move to Montemor, the king goes missing and the princess=regent becomes a hostage (in reality, she is the one who orchestrated the war). After taking back Montemor's throne from his brother, Afonso notes he can't simply return Catarina to her kingdom since there is nothing left of Artena now]].

->''[[Music/SimonAndGarfunkel Are you going to Scarborough Fair?]]\\

[[Music/{{AURORA}} For once he was a true love of mine]]''

* AristocratsAreEvil: Catarina, the crown princess of Artena, and her lover Duke Constantino are the biggest examples.

* InterclassRomance: The heir of Montemor Afonso falls in love with a mere vendor girl called Amália. Desconstructed, since Amália is unable to adapt to Montemor's court and after overhearing that her marriage with Afonso would never be accepted by the people or other kingdoms, [[spoiler:she breaks it off with Afonso because she feels she isn't worth causing all these problems. As a result, Afonso opts to AbdicateTheThrone so that he can live as a commoner with her]].

* StayInTheKitchen: Averted. Selena gets into Montemor's military academy as the first woman to do so, and while faces some struggle like any other student, she is never victim of sexism. Likewise, women also rule of their own right (Crisélia serves as Queen of Montemor while her heirs are already adults themselves) and some queens are seen during the meeting of Cália's monarchs.

* WhamEpisode: Chapter 47 has [[spoiler:Catarina ascending to the throne following the attempt on Augusto's life, she orders Montemor's water supply to be cut off and Rodolfo declares war on Artena]].

* AbhorrentAdmirer: The Marquis of Cordona is one for Princess Catarina, who can barely tolerate his presence.

* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Generally downplayed since kings and queens are subjected to the established laws just as much as the commonfolk, and they can't simply go around doing whatever they want. For example, Rodolfo can't arrest Julião for supposedly threatening his life due to lack of evidence, but he can arrest him [[LoopholeAbuse for some minor crime]]. This trope is played for laughs when he tries to create a new law targeting adultery to make himself more relevant... Only to revoke it the moment [[TheCasanova he might be targeted by it]].

* StayInTheKitchen: Almost literally in Selene's storyline, since she is a servant girl that works in Montemor's kitchen, but wants to join the military academy, but finds resistance from her fellow apprentices. With all that said, while women don't participate in the army, female rulers aren't seen as out of place, considering Queen Crisélia rules Montemor on her own right into advanced age while her (male) heirs are adults.

** The setting may or may not be a fictionalized version of Europe.

* OrphanedEtymology: Despite the series taking place in a medieval fantasy, the dialogue heavily utilizes Brazilian Portuguese expressions.

* AgonyOfTheFeet: The Marquis accidentally fires a crossbow bolt in his foot while pursuing "a wild animal" (actually Constantino hiding in the woods). The wound gets infected and his condition worsens, which leads to Catarina trying to kill him by denying medical treatment.

* DiedInHisArmsTonight: Poor Afonso has people dying this way around him

* PapaWolf: Augusto makes it clear that regardless of Catarina's moral failings, he still loves and cherishes her as his daughter. [[spoiler: ]].

* YourCheatingHeart: Not even marriage could stop Rodolfo's philandering. The following morning after marrying Lucrécia, he tries to kiss Catarina in the courtyard since he still nurtures feelings for her.

* IncurableCoughOfDeath: Ozéias is shown coughing up blood and reveals to Afonso he doesn't have much to live.

* MoralMyopia:

[[caption-width-right:300:clock-wise from the top: [[TheHero Prince Afonso of Montemor]], [[BitchInSheepsClothing Princess Catarina of Artena]], [[TheGoodKing King Augusto of Artena]], [[MoodSwinger Princess Lucrécia of Alcaluz]] and [[UpperClassTwit Prince Rodolfo of Montemor]].]]

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Rodolfo's advisers use UsefulNotes/{{Augustus}} as the example of someone who did not want power for themselves and turned out to be great rulers precisely because of their humility. Except that is ''not'' what [[ManipulativeBastard Augustus]] was known for, on the contrary, he was infamous for his ambition (something which [[LazyBum Rodolfo]] [[AnalogyBackfire clearly lacks]]).

* ClingyJealousGirl: Catarina turns into this trope when she sees Constantino getting too close to her cousin Mirtes, who she despises.

* OperationJealousy: As soon as his relationship with Amália is broken up, Vigilio seduces her best friend Diana in an attempt to make her jealous and strains the relationship between the two girls.
* OrphanedEtymology: Despite this series taking place on clearly fictional land resembling Medieval Europe, characters sometimes reference real-world analogies to Greece and Rome (such as Emperor Augustus).

* PoliticallyCorrectHistory: When one considers that this work supposedly takes place on Earth during the Middle Ages, its surprising how lenient its views on gender and class. For example: Women aren't technically forbidden from joining the army, its just no women ever tried it out before Selena. There is also a number of black characters that aren't targeted by racism of any kind.

''Deus Salve o Rei'' (English: ''God Save the King'') is a {{Brazilian|Media}} SoapOpera produced by Rede Globo in 2018 [[FollowTheLeader following the success]] of series like ''Series/GameOfThrones'' and ''Series/{{Vikings}}''. The series takes place in Cália, a fictional region in Europe and home to the two kingdoms of Montemor and Artena that for many years have lived in harmony sharing natural resources with each other: Montemor provides precious ores while Artena lends water, which is highly scarce to the former. [[TheHighQueen Queen Crisélia]] of Montemor tries to circumvent their dependence on Artena by building an aqueduct to a lake, which dries up on its inauguration day much to their embarrassment.

* WhiteAndGreyMorality: The series' conflict in a nutshell. There are good and honest people in both kingdoms that initially work together for the common good: while Montemor's survival is dependent on water, Artena is happy to help without asking anymore than their agreement requires. However, some unfortunate incidents beyond anyone's control lead to them being at odds with each other.

* AlternateHistory: At first glance, the world appears to be a StandardFantasySetting, but it actually takes place in a fictitious version of Europe where Greece and Rome are mentioned in the distant past. Where exactly does the series takes place is not clarified.
