[edit] User 219

User 219 -- please look at some other articles on Royalty and adopt the same format. It makes a more consistent wikipedia. Also, these Portugal articles seem very encyclopedic. If you are taking the text from somewhere else, it needs to be noted. Finally, birth and death dates are good. It's really cool to have someone working on POrtuguese rulers, BTW. Boots

In my defence, I need to add that these articles are written from a combination of memory and the few English reference books I have at my command here in Japan. The major texts involved in all of these are the latest Encyclopaedia Britannica (I don't know the year of publication off the top of my head), D.H Livermore's authoratative 'History of Portugal' (1972 I think), the Longmans Chronicle of the World and S.H Steinberg's 'Historical Tables' (1973). Where I have no facts to back up what I've written, I've chosen to omit the information altogether - this would explain the lack of birth and death dates in most cases (I prefer to know exact dates too) and also why I've not contributed to major rulers such as John I, John II and Manuel I - the info I have here is too scant. These articles are only supposed to be embryonic and I hope to improve upon them when I return to England and have better resources at hand. Thanks for your interest and comments, I appreciate that someone is reading my work. I intend to contribute to any gaps in political history as and where I can, with what I have available. Simon

PS - I can assure you that nothing I have written is plagiarised, and if my knowledge may be sometimes at fault, I take full credit for the narrative.
