Religious identity news in Portugal · Lisboeta

1373: Portugal and England sign the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty in London, a pact of perpetual friendship between King Fernando I and King Edward III. Renewed at Windsor in 1386, the treaty is the oldest still-active diplomatic alliance in the world.
1808: Fishermen and farmers of Olhão, in the Algarve, rise up against the French occupation force, forcing the small garrison to flee. A schooner crewed by Olhão men — the &#x27;Bom Sucesso&#x27; — would soon carry the news of the revolt across the Atlantic to the Portuguese court in Rio de Janeiro.
