Kingdom of Portugal (Of Lions and Falcons)

The Kingdom of Portugal is an medieval independent kingdom situated in the northwest region of the Iberian Peninsula. It borders to the west the Kingdom of León and south Almohad Empire.

History
Alfonso II, was no warrior, but in 1212 a Portuguese contingent aided the Castilians in the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa, that resulted in a severe defeat for the Spanish Kingdoms.

The region of Alentejo was definitively lost to the Almohads after 1212 who built more permanent garrisons and fortress and by numerous campaigns (1213-1216) occupied all lands south of the Tagus river. The river and walls saved Lisbon from being recapture by the Moors.
