		Alfonso IV 1291–1357, king of Portugal (1325–57), son and successor of Diniz.
		He was involved (1337–40) in a fruitless war with Alfonso XI of Castile before joining him in a campaign against the Moors that culminated in the notable victory of Tarifa (Oct., 1340).
		Alfonso is, however, best remembered for countenancing the murder (1355) of his son's mistress (or wife), InEs de Castro, one of the most romantic figures in Portuguese history.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Portugal
		Portugal is situated on the west of the Iberian Peninsula, being bounded on the north and east by Spain and on the west and south by the Atlantic Ocean.
		Alfonso Henriques early resolved to protect himself against the claims of his powerful neighbour and overlord, and in 1142 he offered his kingdom to the Church, declared himself the pope's vassal, and promised, for himself and his successors, to pay an annual feudal tribute of four ounces of gold.
		Fortunately, the first wife of Alfonso III died shortly afterwards, and the king's bigamous union with Beatrice and their issue were legitimated by Urban IV at the request of the bishops.
