But the quarrel was temporarily suspended because both Gelmires and Burdino, virtually princes within their territories, had reason to dread the extension of Urraca's authority. Bitter jealousy existed between the two prelates, each claiming to be primate 'of all Hispania', and their antagonism had some historical importance insofar as it fostered the growth of separatist tendencies among the Portuguese. But a peace was negotiated by the archbishops Diego GelmГrez and Burdino of Braga, rival churchmen whose wealth and military resources enabled them to dictate terms. Teresa renewed the struggle against her half-sister and suzerain Urraca in 1116вЂ“1117, and again in 1120 in 1121 she was besieged in Lanhoso and captured. But in 1109 Alfonso VI died, bequeathing all his territories to his legitimate daughter, Urraca of LeГіn, and Count Henry at once invaded LeГіn, hoping to add it to his own dominions at the expense of his suzerain.ДЄfter three years of war against Urraca and other rival claimants to the throne of LeГіn, Count Henry himself died in 1112, leaving his widow Teresa to govern Portugal north of the Mondego during the minority of her infant son, Afonso Henriques south of the Mondego, south of the Mondego the Moors still ruled. Count Henry ruled as a vassal of Alfonso VI, whose Galician marches were thus secured against any sudden Moorish raid. The County of Portugal was included in Teresa's dowry. Among these adventurers was Henry of Burgundy, who, in 1095, married Teresa of LeГіn, illegitimate daughter of Alfonso VI of LeГіn and Castile. Towards the close of the 11th century crusading knights came from every part of Europe to aid the kings of LeГіn, Castile and Aragon in fighting the Moors. 12 Flags of Portugal during the Middle Ages.11.1 Beginning of the Portuguese Empire.
