61. Travel In Terceira, Portugal - History - WorldTravelGate.net®
The struggles that accompanied the introduction of liberalism led Terceira to play an important role in the history of portugal once again.
http://www.eurotravelling.net/portugal/terceira/terceira_history.htm
ADVERTISING INFORMATION Terceira (Azores Islands) - History Called the island of Jesus Cristo in the period when it was being reconnoitred by the Portuguese navigators, its settlement was started in about 1450 when its captaincy was granted to a Flaming, Jacome de Bruges, by Prince Henry the Navigator. The first settlements were situated in the areas of Porto Judeu and Praia da Vitoria , and soon spread all over the island. With an economy initially centred on agriculture, mainly the production of grains, and the export of woad (a dye-yielding plant), Terceira began to play an important part in navigation in the 15th and 16th centuries, as a port of call for the galleons bringing the wealth of the Americas and the ships engaged in the India trade.
In that period Terceira was an emporium for the gold, silver, diamonds and spices brought from other continents, which attracted the covetousness of French, English and Flemish corsairs who constantly attacked its coast for several centuries. When Philip II of Spain took the Portuguese throne in 1580, Terceira supported the claims of the pretender, Dom Ant6nio, Prior do Crato, who even came to reside on the island and to coin money there, which led to Spanish attempts to conquer it. The first landing by Spanish troops, in 1581, was completely defeated in the famous battle of Salga, in which the writers Cervantes and Lopo de Vega took part. In 1583 much larger Spanish forces, commanded by Don Alvaro de Bazan, the victor of the battle of Lepanto, managed to dominate the island after violent fighting.

In 1143 Portugal was raised to the status of a kingdom. Dom Afonso Henriques th century. P ortugal is the westernmost point in Europe. It was from this little country that Prince Henry the Navigator financed expeditions that led to the discovery of the New World. From his School of Navigation in a little town called Sagres , ships departed on their exploration of the boundless seas and the unknown world beyond - Portugal turned to the Ocean, in it defining its destiny. T he Fifteenth Century was Portugal's age of Discovery . First it was Madeira Island, then the Azores, Cape Bojador and Cape Verde. Then the Portuguese explorers reached Africa rounded the Cape of Good Hope giving Portugal it's own route to India. Vasco de Gama reached India, establishing Portuguese colonies, and Pedro Cabral discovered Brazil. Other Portuguese explorers reached the Far East, China and Japan. For that brief moment in time, Portugal was the richest country in Europe. T he Republic of Portugal encompasses mainland Portugal and the islands groups of Madeira and the Azores . The mainland is about 325 miles long and 135 miles wide.

Anywhere on the coasts of Asia, America and Africa you can find a fort, a church, a geographical name or a family name, that come from Portugal. These are the remains of the first European country that explored the world in search of spices and souls. Afonso de Albuquerque's dream, was an infusion of Portuguese blood in each of the colonies. As the Dutch Governor Antonio Van Diemen said in 1642 : "Most of the Portuguese in Asia look upon this region as their fatherland, and think no more about Portugal" In XVth century a small nation as Portugal began to explore the Atlantic ocean , since 1415 (conquest of Ceuta, Morocco) the Portuguese explored the African's coasts in search of a road to the East; and in 1487 Bartolomeu Dias doubled the cape of Good Hope. After ten years (1497-1499) Vasco de Gama arrived in India (18 May 1498), and opened a new trading route between Europe and Asia.

    Portugal - History
    Portugal was first Christianized while part of the Roman Empire. Christianity was solidified when the Visigoths, a Germanic tribe already Christianized, came into the Iberian Peninsula in the fifth century (see Germanic Invasions , ch. 1). Christianity was nearly extinguished in southern Portugal during Moorish rule, but in the north it provided the cultural and religious cement that helped hold Portugal together as a distinctive entity (see Muslim Domination , ch. 1). By the same token, Christianity was the rallying cry of those who rose up against the Moors and sought to drive them out (see Christian Reconquest , ch. 1). Hence, Christianity and the Roman Catholic Church predated the establishment of the Portuguese nation, a point that shaped relations between the two. Under Afonso Henriques (r. 1139-85), the first king of Portugal and the founder of the Portuguese state, church and state were unified into a lasting and mutually beneficial partnership (see Formation of the Monarchy , ch. 1). To secure papal recognition of his country, Afonso declared Portugal a vassal state of the pope. The king found the church to be a useful ally as he drove the Moors toward the south and out of Portuguese territory. For its support of his policies, Afonso richly rewarded the church by granting it vast lands and privileges in the territories conquered from the Moors. The church became the country's largest landowner, and its power came to be equal to that of the nobility, the military orders, and even, for a time, the crown. But Afonso also asserted his supremacy over the church, a supremacy thatwith various ups and downswas maintained.

    Early History
    There is little direct filiation between the Portuguese of today and the early tribes who inhabited this region, although the Portuguese long considered themselves descendants of the Lusitanians, a Celtic people who came to the area after 1,000 B.C. The Lusitanians had their stronghold in the Serra da Estrela. Under Viriatus (2d cent. B.C. ) and under Sertorius (1st cent. B.C. ), they stoutly resisted the Romans (see Lusitania ). Other tribes, such as the Conii in Algarve, submitted more readily. Julius Caesar and Augustus completed the Roman conquest of the area, and the province of Lusitania thrived. Roman ways were adopted, and it is from Latin that the Portuguese language is derived. At the beginning of the 5th cent.

The Romans gave the place the name of "Portcale” and official records of its existence date from 5 th Century. The Moors who later occupied most of the Iberian Peninsular destroyed in the early 8 th Century whatever previously existed of this location. It was later taken in the name of the Christian army in 982 and came under the power of Count Henry de Burgundy who ordered a Cathedral to be built. He also introduced a law that stated no nobleman or powerful person could own property or remain within the walls for more than three days. This law was only repealed in 1505. In 1120 the then Queen, Dona Teresa , donated the place of little more than a collection of houses surrounded by a wall to the Bishop Dom Hugo. It

    The history of Portugal
    The Portugal you see today has been shaped down the millennia by a parade of invaders, agressors from shores as distant as Phoenicia, Greece, Rome, northern Europe, north Africa and even England. The history of Portugal as a political unit begins with the rebelion of Iberian Christians against Moslem domination. In 1095 Henry of Burgundy became the first Count of Portugal as a vassal of the King the Leon. Afonso Henriques defeated the forces of Leon in 1128 and it was as Count of an independent Portugal thet he routed the Moors at Ourique. In 1143 Portugal was raised to the status of a kingdom, with a simple bond of allegiance to the Papacy. Afonso Henriques and is successors defeated the Moslems and conquered territory till the present-day Portugal shape. Having settled the frontiers, in 1386, Portugal began a programme of exploration and conquest that made it, within 200 years, the richest mercantile empire of the age. Kings encouraged the enterprises of merchants and navigators. Prince Henry

    Portugal
    Established as a kingdom by Alphonso I in 1139, and recognised by the Pope in 1179, Portugal remained independent until 1580, when an invasion by Phillip II of Spain brought sixty years of foreign domination. The Spanish were overthrown by a revolution in 1640, and Portugal continued as a kingdom until 1910, when the monarchy was expelled, and the First Republic established. Short lived, and often violent, governments ensued, before a military coup in 1926. Portugal is now a democratic republic in the EU.

    14º Grau do Rito Escocês Antigo e Aceite. A Shortened History of Freemasonry in Portugal
    English version by the Author revisited by W.Bro. Don Falconer I. Introduction The history of Freemasonry as a Symbolic Fraternity that practises Rites of Initiation is closely related to the expansion of the ideas of the Enlightenment . Freemasonry emphasizes that Reason is a major driving force for Human improvement and for the enhancement of Human society. The Enlightenment was a philosophical movement of key importance in Europe during the 18th Century. It praised the influence of Science and knowledge as vital elements in overcoming the insidious influence of obscurity, ignorance and prejudgment in Human society, whilst also promoting Human pursuit of happiness. That movement has been perceived as an historic reaction to the Christian Doctrine of natural unity between the spiritual and temporal dominions, which Saint Augustine and other fathers of the Church extolled as the core of Christian faith. The Doctrine was a landmark of the “eternal” alliance between the temporal power (the Emperor) and the spiritual power (the Pope and the Catholic Church), a dogma of the subordination of all Christians

    Recommended Reading General The Portuguese: The Land and Its People, by Marion Kaplan (Viking), is one of the best surveys of the country. The work covers Portuguese history all the way from the country's Moorish origins to its maritime empire and into the chaotic 20th century. It also gives travel information and discusses politics, the economy, literature, art, and architecture. A towering achievement, Journey to Portugal: In Pursuit of Portugal's History and Culture History A Concise History of Portugal (Cambridge University Press, by David Birmingham) is far too short at 209 pages to capture the full sweep of Portuguese history, but it is nonetheless a very readable history for those who like at least a brief preview of a country's past before landing there. Another version of the same subject is Portugal: A Companion History Portugal's role abroad is best presented in Portuguese Seaborne Empire (Carcanet Press, by Charles Ralph Boxer). Since its initial publication in 1969, this frequently reprinted book has been the best volume for explaining how an unimportant kingdom in western Europe managed to build an empire stretching from China to Brazil.
