Serrão was born in Tremês, Portugal on 8 July 1925. From 1977, he published a history of Portugal from the remote origins of the country until the period of the Estado Novo.

However, from 1997, the work was continued from the period of the Estado Novo and was completed with nineteen volumes, ending with the present day.
