Battle of São Mamede
The Battle of São Mamede was fought on 24 June 1128 near Guimarães between Afonso Henriques and the forces of his mother, Countess Teresa, and her Galician ally Fernão Peres de Trava. Afonso's victory gave him control of the County of Portugal, and it is traditionally seen as the founding event of Portuguese independence.
