New Study--Percentage of Jewish ancestry among Iberian population Herb, The war continued well after 1193. The Algarve province with strong Moorish influences wasn't in Portuguese control until 1250, starting in 1217 with the taking of town of Alcácer do Sal, the capture most of the Algarve in 1236 and the taking of Faro in 1249, removing the last Muslim state from Portuguese soil and ending the Portuguese Reconquista. It was in 1295 that King Diniz of Portugal essentially established the present boundaries of Portugal, with one exception, the region of Olivena, which was Portugues until the Spanish took it in 1801.

They had great influence in Spain and weren't expelled from that country until 1492 but in Portugal their influence was mainly in the area of commerce and architecture and confined primarily to the the south. Their influence on religion was minor at best in Portugal. By very early 1100s the Crusades had expelled the Moors from Southern Portugal. Boundaries were formed and those boundaries remain essentially the same today as they were in 1139 making Portugal the second oldest country in Europe, second to Denmark in terms of having a defined border etc. Italy for example did not become a country until the 1800s and many countries in Europe were splintered into many factions and territories until even the 1900s. Those divisions continue to this day in many other parts of Europe. -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.
