The volume features two historically significant texts that offer firsthand accounts of the Christian conquests of Santarém in 1147 and Alcácer do Sal in 1217, both pivotal events led by King Afonso I. Translated into English for the first time, these eyewitness testimonies are accompanied by thorough introductions, providing valuable context and insights into the events and their implications in the broader narrative of the Reconquista.
