D Afonso II O Rei que Enfrentou Tudo…

Afonso II was not a king like the others. In a time dominated by wars and conquests, he chose a different path—that of law, administration, and control of power. In this episode of the Origins series, we explore the life of the third king of Portugal, a man marked by illness, conflict with his own family, and one of the greatest tensions in the kingdom's history: direct confrontation with the Church. He was excommunicated. He was hated by nobles and clergy alike. But he was also the king who created Portugal's first written laws, convened the first Cortes (parliament), and laid the foundations of the Portuguese state. A short, intense, and profoundly transformative reign. 📜 The story of a king who didn't conquer territories… but changed the country forever.
