Afonso I of Portugal
Afonso I (; 25 July 1106 / 1109 or August 1109 / 11116 December 1185), nicknamed the Conqueror (), the Founder () or the Great () by the Portuguese, and "El-Bortukali" [in Arabic ] ("the Portuguese") and "Ibn-Arrink" [in Arabic or ] ("son of Henry", "Henriques") by the Moors whom he fought, was the first King of Portugal. He achieved the independence of the southern part of the Kingdom of Galicia, the County of Portugal, from Galicia's overlord, the King of León, in 1139, establishing a new kingdom and doubling its area with the "Reconquista", an objective that he pursued until his death in 1185, after forty-six years of wars against the Moors.
