	Portugal in the Age of Discovery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The agriculture of the countryside had diversified to the point where grain was imported from Morocco (a symptom of an economy dependent upon Portugal's), while specialised crops occupied former grain-growing areas: vineyards, olives, or the sugar factories of the Algarve, later to be reproduced in Brazil (Braudel 1985).
		Under Alphonso V (1443-1481), surnamed the African, the Gulf of Guinea was explored as far as Cape St Catherine, and three expeditions (1458, 1461, 1471) were sent to Morocco; in 1471 Arzila (Asila) and Tangier were captured from the Moors.

	The Benedictine Order - Ökumenisches Heiligenlexikon
		In the sixteenth century the monasteries of Portugal were all held by commendatory abbots and consequently were in a very unsatisfactory state as regards discipline.
		The congregation eventually comprised all the monasteries of Portugal and continued in a flourishing state until the wholesale suppression of religious houses in the early part of the nineteenth century, when its existence came to an abrupt end.
		A decree of the Brazilian government in 1855 forbade the further reception of novices, and the result was that when the empire came to an end in 1889, the entire congregation numbered only about twelve members, of whom eight were abbots of over seventy years of age.

		In eastern Portugal, the Allies were battling the Spanish and royalists in the town of Castello da Vida, a few miles to the north of Portalegre.
		In Portugal, the British forces were experiencing the same wont for reinforcements, but they had the Brazilians and French volunteers aiding them and of course the Portuguese were contributing the largest slice to the allied war effort in terms of soldiers.
		In Portugal, the Allies had made a limited gain by crossing the Tejo and linking up with the southern allied forces briefly, but a ferocious Spanish counterattack severed the new link which could have been devastating for the Spaniards still holed up around Lisbon since their closest source for supplies would have been cut.
