On 16-Feb-1267, Alfonso the Wise of Spain and Afonso III of Portugal signed the Treaty of Badajoz. This historic pact of friendship and mutual assistance solidified the relationship between the two nations. However, it came at a cost for Portugal, as the treaty established a border between Castile and Portugal that disadvantaged the latter. The Treaty of Badajoz marked a significant moment in the history of Spain and Portugal, as it reshaped their territorial boundaries and set the stage for future interactions between the two kingdoms. It not only defined the limits of each kingdom's influence but also ensured a sense of stability and peace between them. The signing of the treaty represented a diplomatic achievement for Alfonso the Wise, as it allowed him to consolidate his power and expand Castilian territory. However, it also marked a setback for Afonso III, who had to accept the terms of the treaty that were to Portugal's disadvantage. #Spain #Portugal #TreatyofBadajoz #AlfonsoTheWise #AfonsoIII
