Portugal e Galiza: a Traição que Separou Dois Povos

Portugal and Galicia were born from the same people, spoke the same language, and prayed in the same churches. Today, one is a nation. The other is a region of Spain. The difference between these two destinies was decided by a single act of betrayal — and a single king imprisoned in a tower until his death. In this video, we explore the forgotten history of the Kingdom of Galicia: why the County of Portugal achieved independence while Galicia was absorbed into León and Castile. A story of political decisions, rivalry between brothers, feudal nobility, and the geography of power in medieval Iberia. You'll discover the common origin of Portugal and Galicia in the ancient Roman province of Gallaecia, the betrayal of Alfonso VI against his brother García II — the last independent king of Galicia —, why the nobility of the County of Portugal bet everything on independence while the Galician nobility chose the security of a larger kingdom, and how Galician and Portuguese, once a single language in the Middle Ages, permanently split apart. 🔔 If this story surprised you, subscribe to the channel and turn on notifications — we publish new episodes on the history of Portugal and the Iberian Peninsula every week. #Portugal #Galicia #HistoryofPortugal #MiddleAges #MedievalHistory #GarciaII #IberianPeninsula #Gallaecia #CountyofPortugal #KingdomofLeon #IberianHistory #HistoryDocumentary #Betrayal #TwoPeoples #ImperiosELendas Lord of the Land de Kevin MacLeod é licenciada de acordo com a licença Atribuição 4.0 da Creative Commons. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
