    An absolutely fascinating video on the treaty, and it goes a long way to explain the attitude of the Portuguese people to the English. I have been in love with Portugal since the first time I visited over twenty years ago. When people ask me why I can only reply "a country is made up of many things, wonderful scenery, great food and wine, abundant wildlife, culture, but with Portugal you have the people who are always welcoming and friendly". We can also recommend not only a tour of the Taylor & Fladgate wine lodge but lunch in the Barão Fladgate Restaurant so time your visit carefully, or reserve a table before you go.

    Being raised in Brazil I found out that many sayings and folk wisdom have equal sentences in UK. The short documentary forgot to mention how important was Portugal when Napoleon blockaded traded with UK, effectively isolating it. Portugal continued trade and used Brazil to continue supplying goods to the UK, later on the King himself fled to Brazil with the escort of UK ships. This event was most critical to the 3 countries, especially Brazil, effectively from that point on it was no longer a colony.

    @micheldepaula8733 The king didn't fled. It was a move anticipated since the XVI century but thinking about Spain, not France. It was a strategic withdrawal that allowed victory later. Stating that 11000 people, all the kingdom services and most of its public servants, the treasury etc... just packed overnight to fled from 1500 famine French soldiers, looks implausible. It really was an incredibly well done and planned logistic operation. Also it wasn't the Royal Navy that escorted, they were a part of the escort, in fact the biggest vessels were Portuguese. There were 19 Portuguese warships and 30 merchant vessels and 13 British warships. So, in my opinion, saying that the king fled, as Brazilians love to place it, it is at least lack of respect but it is also misinformation and a doggedness that only Brazilians can understand. It is also, why not say it, ignorant and provocative.

    One important detail is that during the conquering of Lisbon and after D. Afonso Henriques gave the Muslims the right of passage and protection out of the City, the same English, and other crusaders who helped with the siege would attack those families who were fleeing the city with all their life's savings, which led D Afonso Henriques to declare that both in the neighborhoods of Mouraria and Alfama people would still be allowed to practice different religions under his protection. It is worth noting that the people the City was taken from were ruled by an Arab elite but were mostly a Moçarabe majority *(ethnic Portuguese people who had converted to escape religious taxation)* and actual Christians and Jews who were all put to the sword during the city's sack by the mercenaries. Our first king understood this very well, and so he did not set out to force convert anyone, many of the merchants that remained and pledged alliegance to him were Muslim and Jewish and they would contribute to Portugal's developing maritime endeavors.

    Extract from the book "Longitude" by Dava Sobel: In 1592, for example, a squadron of six English warships off the coast of the Azores set up an ambush to attack Spanish merchant ships returning from the Caribbean. The huge galleon Madre de Deus, flying the Portuguese flag, sailing on its way back from India, fell into its clutches. Despite carrying 32 bronze cannons on board, the Madre de Deus lost the brief battle, and Portugal lost a valuable cargo. Beneath the ship's deck were stowed chests full of gold and silver coins, pearls, diamonds, amber, musk, tapestries, pieces of calico and ebony. Spices were counted by the ton-more than four hundred tons of pepper, forty-five of cloves, thirty-five of cinnamon, and three tons each of a by-product of nutmeg and nutmeg itself. The Madre de Deus proved to be a prize worth half a million pounds sterling (about US$300 million today) - saw approximately half the amount deposited at the English Exchequer (England's Treasury) at that time. NOTE: These are the English allies, even when they came to help us it was to plunder everything they could.

    "The 1890 British Ultimatum was an ultimatum by the British government delivered on 11 January 1890 to the Kingdom of Portugal. Portugal had attempted to claim a large area of land between its colonies of Mozambique and Angola including most of present-day Zimbabwe and Zambia and a large part of Malawi, which had been included in Portugal's "Rose-coloured Map".[1] The ultimatum forced the retreat of Portuguese military forces from areas which had been claimed by Portugal on the basis of historical discovery and recent exploration, but which the United Kingdom claimed on the basis of effective occupation."

    Very nice treated... The British Ultimatum of 1890 against Portuguese pretensions in Africa provoked a social and political movement of patriotic exaltation and contestation of the Monarchy. It marked the end of the intended “pink map”, which would unite Angola and Mozambique, under the sovereignty of Portugal. At the end of the 19th century, European countries disputed the African continent, an important source of raw materials and wealth. The Berlin Conference, in 1884, brought together the main powers with interests in Africa, determining the effective occupation as a criterion for the possession of territories. Portugal intensifies the carrying out of exploratory trips and military operations, aiming at the conquest of the territories between Angola and Mozambique, based on the “pink map” plan. Germany and France pledged not to intervene in that area, but the United Kingdom opposed the project, as it intended to carry out a rail link between South Africa and Cairo.

If we take a look at it with from british perspective what choice was there, two overlapping territorial projects and only one could be implemented. If you ask me, the portuguese were incautious in their ambitions, after all did anyone seeked to understand if the greattest power in world had similar plans? Anyway the republicans, searching to overthrow the monarchy, just made a huge fuss about it afterwards.

Fora isso, subjugaram Portugal sempre que tiveram a oportunidade disso. Nas invasões napoleónicas (que só aconteceram porque Portugal não acedeu ao bloquio continental imposto) eles só ajudaram porque eramos o único país que não lhes fechou os portos. Resultado? Assim que acabou, queriam ficar a administrar Lisboa e tiveram também de ser convidados a sair. Na união ibérica, em vez de ajudarem Portugal a reconquistar a independência, trataram de destruir parte da frota portuguesa e tentaram roubar algumas colónias no Brasil e nas Indias. O Ultimato Inglês foi a vergonha que se sabe.. e aliás, eles nem estavam propriamente interessados no território entre Angola e Moçambique, queriam apenas a linha de ferro a passar por lá, e em vez de tentar chegar a um acordo ou pelo menos dialogar, decidiram mandar um ultimato a um aliado que já tinham há uns bons séculos. Portanto não, não faz sentido desculpabilizar e achar que esta coisa foi e é uma aliança, Tudo isto serviu apenas para Inglaterra ter um vassalo informal, nada mais.

    A long-standing relation forged by geography, mutual enemies and common interests. If England had in Portugal a closed door to spanish, and in a certain way, french ambitions, Portugal found in England a powerful friend and an assurance of it's independence. Two of the most important seafaring nations in history, if one paved the way, the other soon followed to become the greatest empire the world has ever seen. Two nations who achieved greatness in the sea, who found in it a way to escape their own peripheral territories, and by doing it forever changed the world.

    @@michaelg3855 Since I actually have an History degree, I am pretty used to deflect revisionist views of the past, which were very common amongst left wing academics, let's say 15/20 years ago, as a result of Nouvelle Histoire, a french historic movement that for comercial and ideological purposes "democratized" History. Nowdays the public display of these type of views is just a sign of militant average ignorance, cause you can't make the history of certain nations brighter by bashing others. You're not the first that tries to accommodate personal present views to bygone eras, but of course you know that this is not about History, it's about you. It's about virtue signaling in social media, it's about you trying to correct past misbehaviour in an era that it's all too easy to do so. Average group behaviour, seen too often in the past, with not so great results if I may add. Now if you're such a justice warrior, you tell me what are you doing to correct not so "popular" present day issues. What are you doing to correct modern day slavery in Africa, or women role in african and islamic societies? What have you been doing to tackle India's caste system issue?

    @@michaelg3855 The reply was ad hominem because your interpretation is not based on facts, but instead based in a very biased and ideological contemporary perception of the past, therefore based in a personal opinion and view. Though History is open for debate, truth must not be. What was exploited by Portugal and Britain was a global trade market created by them, but also the spanish and the dutch, which in turn traded goods. The focus of an intellectually honest debate about the subject should above all understand, as harsh as it may seem, the concept of trading goods in the XVI and XVII centuries. After establishing the meaning of the concept then, one can ask: is it the same as today, has it evolved? If so, we're no longer talking about the same thing. Oversimplified manichaeist visions of History are intentionally created with a purpose. The purpose of this one is to downplay western Europe role in order to accommodate the new multicultural society we live in, but also, from a political point of view, to aggregate the "oppressed masses" against a particular group or nation. Nothing against multicultural societies or the rise of the "oppressed", but if you think that they should be built and raised at the expense of modern british or portuguese, their culture, or their past...you're wrong.

    While not minimizing in any way the value of this "Oldest (indeed) alliance in the world", I was taught that the Alliance was 'signed' in 1386 - and indeed, have a brochure celebrating 'Portugal 600' - published in 1986. The brochure includes a message from the Ambassador of Portugal (to UK), specifically stating that the treaty was signed on 9 May 1386 by [representatives of] King Joâo I (of Portugal) and King Richard II (of England). I was also taught how to subtract and this makes it 637 year anniversary.

    Many inaccuracies in the description of the battle of aljubarrota. The battle lasted about 30 to 45 minutes and started at 18:00 on a hot day of 14 August. There were 2 waves of attack by the Castilian army that never had the 40,000 men in the field...15,000 of the infantry marching at the end of the column did not even reach the battlefield (see how the Castilian army marched and the disposition of the various forces). The 2nd wave, Castilian cavalry with the support of siege weapons and bows managed to open a gap in the Portuguese vanguard, the battle was uncertain, and it was with the help of D João's rearguard and the closing of the gap in the vanguard that the slaughter of the most Castilian knights, were closed in a kind of square. There were simultaneously 2 Castilian flanking attempts, promptly repelled by the portuguese rearguard, but for that they had to summarily execute all the French knights taken prisoner of the 1st wave. Then there was the general rout of the army of Castile...to the south those who arrived at the battlefield, south side of the Portuguese army...and to the north those who were still marching towards the battlefield. There was a lot to say about why and how this happened, why the Castela army had to try the attack even the situation wasnt the best, the failed attempts of understanding in the hours leading up to the clash, because everybody wanted to avoid the battle, including the Castela king, D Juan, but that is a story that does not fit here to expand.

    And there are some, who claim that the obscure man known to us as Christopher Columbus, was a galego noble man from Pontevedra. Whoever he really was, Columbus learned his secrets in Portugal, married and had son there, spoke and wrote the portuguese, offered his planned adventure first to the portuguese king (who refused), and returning from his first voyage (discovery of the americas) stopped first in Lisbon, telling the same king of Portugal who refused his services, what was accomplished, before anyone else.

    One slight correction: He claimed to had discovered the Indies, but it's only after that we'll call it America, whatever the case he studied maths in Lisbon in the Rua das Escolas Gerais and was probably a spy working for the Portuguese crown, he lead the Spanish on a wild goose chase, and odds are the Portuguese knew of the existance of America and were content with letting the Spanish crown head that way, also the treaty of tordesilhas is a smoking gun that tells us exactly that. He also married a Portuguese noblewoman from a little town called Cuba, coincidentally, odd that a commoner from Genova or whatever was given a title just like that isn't it?

    Very well done, but I have a question. Is this treaty still in existance today as was speaking too a Portuguese lawyer who said it is not. even though in June last the 2 governments celebrated 650 years of the treaty and some in S.E.F. seem never too have heard of it. I live in Portugal and am English too and came here under the accord rules, yet a friend of mine who has bought a house here is having a great deal of trouble getting his Chinese wife here as some in Castelo Branco S.E.F. have never heard of the treat. And those of all people should know of the treaty. Is this a case of Brussels sticking its big nose into things that don't concern them or what. From what I have read about the treaty. A English born and bred person can move here without and trouble and bring their spouse with then and any dependent children regardless of the country of the spouse and vise versa. So if it still exists, why is my friend having so much trouble with getting visa for his wife.
