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/historyofportugal Check out the fee tier and join the conversation!
