1143 recognition of Portugal's independence from León
The Treaty of Zamora (Portuguese: Tratado de Zamora) was signed on 5 October 1143 between King Afonso I of Portugal and his cousin Alfonso VII of León. It took place at Zamora in the presence of the papal legate, Cardinal Guido de Vico. On the occasion, Alfonso VII acknowledged Afonso as king of Portugal. The event is celebrated as a critical step in the process which led to the complete recognition of Portugal as fully independent and which was only definitively concluded by the signing of the Papal bull Manifestis Probatum in 1179.
