Ever since 1139, except from 1581 until 1640.

In 1139 it got the independence from Castilla. The first king of Portugal was D. Afonso Henriques (his mother was the queen of Castilla)

Then from 1581 to 1640, took place the Iberian Union, with one single king to the entire Iberian Peninsula. In 1640 got the independence again, after Spain tried to get to much power of the Portuguese territories (from Brazil to Timor, including Portuguese mainland, Azores, Madeira, most of Africa, India, ...)
