Historically, Portugal was founded after an excursion south from the descendent of the Kings of Castela (Spain), battling the Mours (Muslims) and thus founding the Condado Portucalense (Portuguese County) firstly in what is now northern Portugal and over the course of about a century all the way to the Algarve.

In these battles fought crusaders from all over Europe, bound to drive off non-christians from Europe.
