About the podcast
I created History of Portugal to bring Portugal’s past to life through engaging, narrative storytelling. From its earliest roots to the rise of a global empire, I explore the people, battles, political intrigues, and unexpected events that shaped Portuguese history. I combine in-depth historical research with cinematic music and occasional sound effects to create an immersive experience that is as entertaining as it is informative. My goal is to make Portugal’s fascinating history accessible to everyone, one story at a time.

Last episode, we examined the political and military maneuvers undertaken by the various sovereigns of the peninsula as they sought to exploit the power vacuum left by the death of the emperor.
In this episode, we'll see which of those maneuvers paid off and which did not. Along the way, we'll encounter an intriguing outlaw who served Afonso Henriques, though he was never one to neglect his own interests. And we'll see how the Portuguese almost conquered the city of Badajoz.

One of the things that I have wanted to do for a while now was to provide a wider context of the world we have been exploring on this show. So, I teamed up with my friend James Cassese who has researched and written these episodes to help us understand what was happening in the broader European and Mediterranean world while Portugal was emerging as an independent kingdom.
So, over the next few episodes of this series we’ll be going on a clockwise tour of Europe and the Mediterranean world beginning with the Iberian Peninsula’s closest neighbors, England and France.

In this episode, we will be doing a deep dive into some we touched only lightly in a previous episode, the rather significant act of Afonso Henriques declaring his vassalage to the Pope. We’ll explore how Afonso navigated the complex interplay of papal authority, Leonese overlordship, and local power. As well as how despite Roman hesitation, Afonso’s de facto authority as king was firmly established in the eyes of his people.

In this episode, we explore how the collapse of Almoravid power plunged the western lands of Al-Andalus into chaos. Rival Muslim leaders like Ibn Qasi and Ibn Wasir fought for control, while Afonso Henriques seized the opportunity to expand his realm. But this wasn’t just a clash of swords, it was a game of diplomacy and deception. We’ll uncover how Portugal’s first king forged truces, traded tributes, and even made secret pacts with his supposed enemies to secure his southern frontier.

Show notes
In this episode, we follow Afonso Henriques as he works to secure Portugal’s fragile frontier. We’ll look at how the destruction and rebuilding of Leiria shaped the kingdom’s defenses, the role of new castles and charters in pushing settlement southward, and how the Knights Templar began to take an active hand in the border wars. Along the way, we’ll encounter stories of courage and tragedy, like the fate of Martinho, a priest captured in battle and carried deep into Muslim lands. All of this unfolds against the backdrop of a shifting Iberian landscape, where local revolts and Almoravid weakness created both danger and opportunity for the young Portuguese kingdom.

In this episode, we’re looking beyond the battlefield to the network of advisors who helped Afonso Henriques turn a fledgling county into a kingdom. We’ll explore the spiritual influence of Saint Teotónio, the political brilliance of Dom João Peculiar, and the often-overlooked world of church diplomacy in 12th-century Portugal. From monastic reform to papal negotiations, from court intrigue to the fight for ecclesiastical independence, this is the story of the men who stood beside the first king, and how their combined efforts shaped the destiny of the realm.

We'll explore conflicting historical accounts, the symbolism of his shield, and the Church's complicated role in legitimizing his kingship, uncovering how a potential battlefield tradition transformed into a powerful national myth.

This episode, we follow the pivotal shift in strategy as Afonso Henriques and the Portuguese forces move from a defensive posture to full-scale offensive operations. From the construction of the Castle of Leiria to deep raids into Muslim-held territory, we’ll explore how Portugal carved out its place on the frontier. We will also unpack the legendary Battle of Ourique, what likely happened, what was mythologized later, and why it mattered. As the tide turns across the Iberian Peninsula, the crumbling Almoravid empire faces pressure on multiple fronts, setting the stage for a new phase in the development of Portugal.

Show notes
In this episode, we dive deep into the murky political landscape of the 1130s, focusing on Afonso Henriques’s ambiguous status between 1128 and 1137 as he maneuvered between independence and vassalage to Alfonso VII. The episode unpacks Afonso’s calculated incursions into Galician territory, including the provocative construction of the Castle of Celmes, the backlash from Alfonso VII, and the pivotal Battle of Cerneja, where Afonso defeated key Galician nobles. It culminates in the surprising Pact of Tui, a moment of apparent submission that still leaves historians debating its true implications. Along the way, we explore feudal power dynamics, shifting alliances, and the strategic balancing act Afonso played in shaping Portugal’s early sovereignty.
