About Afonso I of Portugal
- Afonso I (European Portuguese: [?'fõsu]; 1106 / 25 July 1109 / August 1109 / 1111 – 6 December 1185), nicknamed the Conqueror (Portuguese: O Conquistador), the Founder (O Fundador) or the Great (O Grande) by the Portuguese, and El-Bortukali [in Arabic ?????????] ("the Portuguese") and Ibn-Arrink or Ibn Arrinq [in Arabic ??? ??????? or ??? ???????] ("son of Henry", "Henriques") by the Moors whom he fought, was the first King of Portugal.
- He achieved the independence of the southern part of the Kingdom of Galicia, the County of Portugal, from Galicia's overlord, the King of León, in 1139, establishing a new kingdom and doubling its area with the Reconquista, an objective that he pursued until his death in 1185, after forty-six years of wars against the Moors.
