Portugal To-do:


[edit] Move & Corrections

I moved this page from Elvira Menéndez to Elvira Mendes, because that is the correct spelling of her name. She was of the line of the Counts of Portugal (House of Vímara Peres) and that is how it's spelled. I also added info on her father and descent. The Ogre 20:04, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Portugal-bio-stub

I've reverted Muriel Gottrop deletion of Portugal-bio-stub. She says that there was no Portugal in 1022. That is in fact not true. The First County of Portugal was established in in 868 and Elvira Mendes was a member of the reignant family (that of Vímara Peres House). On the other hand one could argue, and I'm not really doing that..., that Spain, if you don't use that name to signify Iberia or Hispania, only exists after the union of Aragon and Castile (1492) and the incorporation of Navarre (1516). If by Portugal and Spain you mean the present political entities, then neither of them existed in 1022... The Ogre 14:32, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
