Portugal History Lovers - Portugal´s Relations with its Catalan Neighbours

In 1143, Alfonso VII, King of León and Castile, signed the Treaty of Zamora and recognized Afonso Henriques as King of Portugal! And so was born this new Iberian kingdom whose history will always be linked to the other peninsular kingdoms, in an eternal relationship of love and hate, so characteristic of the brothers... We'll talk about how Portugal was born, the king who "mistreated" the Castilian mother, the kings who created our borders and how they managed to assert their nationality between wars and marriages with "our brothers". A journey through Portugal's first dynasty in which we understand why we are so different yet so similar in the way we live... All this at the next History Lovers meeting!
