Medieval Journey in the Land of Santa Maria
Afonso VI, Emperor of Hispania, bestowed upon his daughter Teresa, at the time of her betrothal to Henry of Burgundy, the territory of Coimbra as far as Lobreira Castle in Galicia, including the Land of Santa Maria, the whole of the lands of Lamego and Viseu, and also the lands formerly held by the Moors, provided that he conquered them and incorporated them into his county. (...) Following the Battle of São Mamede on 24 June 1128, the queen lost power to her son Afonso Henriques, who came to represent a new dominion and a new sovereignty: the autonomy of the County from the Kingdom of León.
