| 6/22/26 | ![]() Episode 48 - Daring and Disaster | 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.Join me on Patreon! patreon.com/historyofportugalCheck out the fee tier and join the conversation!If you have any questions or comments, you can reach me at historyofportugalpod@gmail.comVisit the website: www.historyofportugalpodcast.comCredits:Flag Image by Miguel Á.

| 8/26/25 | ![]() Episode 38 - Valiant and Tireless | 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.Join me on Patreon! patreon.com/historyofportugalCheck out the fee tier and join the conversation!If you have any questions or comments, you can reach me at historyofportugalpod@gmail.comVisit the website: www.historyofportugalpodcast.comCredits:Flag Image by Miguel Á.

| 8/17/25 | ![]() Episode 37 - Partners of my Labors | 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.Join me on Patreon! patreon.com/historyofportugalCheck out the fee tier and join the conversation!If you have any questions or comments, you can reach me at historyofportugalpod@gmail.comVisit the website: www.historyofportugalpodcast.comCredits:Flag Image by Miguel Á.

| 7/9/25 | ![]() Episode 36 – Rei de Portugal | This episode, we're diving into the controversial acclamation of Afonso Henriques as king before the Battle of Ourique. Did it really happen, or is it just legend? 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.Join me on Patreon! patreon.com/historyofportugalCheck out the fee tier and join the conversation!If you have any questions or comments, you can reach me at historyofportugalpod@gmail.comVisit the website: www.historyofportugalpodcast.comCredits:Flag Image by Miguel Á.

| 6/14/25 | ![]() Episode 35 - Going on the Offensive | 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.Join me on Patreon! patreon.com/historyofportugalCheck out the fee tier and join the conversation!If you have any questions or comments, you can reach me at historyofportugalpod@gmail.comVisit the website: www.historyofportugalpodcast.comCredits:Flag Image by Miguel Á.

| 5/29/25 | ![]() Episode 34 – Sitting Sideways | 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.Join me on Patreon! patreon.com/historyofportugalCheck out the fee tier and join the conversation!If you have any questions or comments, you can reach me at historyofportugalpod@gmail.comVisit the website: www.historyofportugalpodcast.comCredits:Flag Image by Miguel Á.
