Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

It is largely accepted that "the assembly of the estates-general of Portugal at Lamego" never took place. It seems to be an invention and forgery created in the sixteenth century. Therefore it should not be presented as a fact but rather as a relevant legend, related to the battle. -- LNM —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.243.100.155 (talk) 03:09, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Quote from the Article: "It was presumed that after his victory over the five Moorish kings, the nobles acclaimed Afonso Henriques as king.[1] In reality, documents after his victory continued to refer to Henriques as Prince or Infante"

How many documents? The majority of all documents, as we see after 1140 AD Era (former 1178 era at that time) Afonso Henriques already apears always as King - Rex Portugaliae, Portugalensis Rex, Rex Portugalensium. We have only one major event at those previous few months: Ourique.

The Background statement is confusing. As I interpret it, it says the 1139 Battle of Ourique was a response to Almoravid attacks that Afonso Henriques became aware of at the Battle of Valdevez ... but the Battle of Valedevez took place in 1140 or 1141, so the sequencing seems wrong.

Referencing problems

In this edit, Zeorymer changed this article to reference a work by Ferreira with the date 1990, but never provided that reference. As far as I can tell, it's really meant to reference the 2010 Ferreira work and 1990 is just a repeated typo. This error as replicated by other authors over time. I've boldly made that presumptive fix, but is anyone able to verify that it is correct? -- Mikeblas (talk) 12:44, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
