The Population of the District of Vila Real   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) These emigrants were the desperately poor from the most isolated villages that suffered appalling conditions on cramped steamers to find a new future in the land where anyone could get rich. In the province of León, near Ponferrada, there are Portuguese miners who come from the region of Vila Pouca de Aguiar, and more desperate Portuguese go as far as La Rioja to work in the seasonal harvest of the famous wine. The results of this emigration have been not only desertification of the countryside and a subsequent decline in the percentage of the work force engaged in agriculture (from 80% in 1960 to 60% in Vila Real in 1991, still the highest in Portugal). www.portcult.com /03.POP1.VILA_REAL.htm   (2220 words)

The Napoleonic Invasions of the Early Nineteenth Century in Chaves, Portugal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) This invasion through Chaves was a result of Bonaparte’s having become dictator of France in 1799 and having the decrepit Spanish Bourbon monarchy as an uncomfortable ally; that monarchy was dominated by the queen’s ambitious favorite, Manuel de Godoy, and the Spaniards had never quite given up hope of re-annexing Portugal. Instigated by Napoleon, Spain in 1801 issued an ultimatum to the Prince Regent John, demanding immediate termination of the British connection, an alliance with Spain, an indemnity, and the surrender of some territory.
