Person
Nuno Mendes
Nuno Mendes was the last count of the first County of Portugal, descended from Vímara Peres. Seeking greater independence, he rebelled against King García II of Galicia and was defeated and killed at the Battle of Pedroso in 1071. García then abolished the county, which Alfonso VI recreated in 1096 for Henry of Burgundy.
