D. Afonso Henriques keeps expanding territory (jan 1, 1147 – jan 1, 1166)

Description:

After the peace treaty, D. Afonso Henriques decides to attack the Moors to expand the territory, taking over Santarém and Lisbon in 1147, Alcácer do Sal in 1158, as well as Évora and Beja in 1159.

Évora, Beja and Alcácer do Sal are reconquered by the Muslim forces within a few years, yet are re-reconquered, once again, a few years later, with these conflicts raging between 1161 and 1166.

Geraldo Geraldes conquers Évora, and offers it back to D. Afonso Henriques as a gift.
