Default Re: Portuguese State-Nationalism vs Spanish Ethno-Nationalism

Hello. I hope that you don't mind if we stick to facts.

Well, Henri de Bourgogne received those territories in dowry for his marriage with King Alfonso VI of Leon's daughter. If that's what you mean.

So that points to the birth of a state, not of a nation. More so when the nation's birth predates that event by some hundreds of years, through a complete ethnogenesis only disturbed later by the intrusion of Islam.

2º - We know however that Galicia is in itself a name that was born of a unique tribe in the estuary of the Douro
Who is 'we'?

As far as I know, Gallaeci was a generic denomination for the different tribes living between the Tagus river and the northern façade (and not even sure if that far north afield).

In any case, 2/3 or even 3/4 of Portugal are as unrelated to the Gallaeci as, say Cantabrians are.

Quote:
- in who was today PORTO-GAIA
Portus Cale, you mean.

Quote:
3º- Of the CALÉCI (in Porto, Gaia etc.) two names had been born: CALÉCIA (Galicia) and PORTU-CALE (Portugal).
I'm still at odds at what it has to do with the different sub-ethnicity of the Lusitanians.

Quote:
4º- the Origin of the Galicia is therefore in heart of Portugal - Port-Calaeci.
So that means that it is occupied by the descedants of Lusitanians?

Quote:
The LUSITANIA(in center, south etc.), for its side, is not a tribe but it was a set of tribes.
Like all other names, they referred to tribes, yes.

Quote:
5º. - It was this Identity that, independent from 1128 and 1139. if extended for south, until the extreme of Algarve.
Which identity? You have named two different identities already: Gallaeci and Lusitani.

Never mind about others.

Quote:
6.º- The Kingdom of Portugal was until the extreme south, but the Kingdom of the Algarve (Strait litoral band in the south) remained as "Kingdom" only in the nominal plan.
Yes, more or less that.

Quote:
7º- In Portugal, the "Foros" or "Fueros" as in Spain do NOT ever exist . Portugal was ALL a Kingdom in itself until the south extreme in Miedle Ages and Morden ages.
You should consider the charters granted by King Alfonso VI of Leon, by which Henri de Bourgogne ruled as Count of Portu Cale.

Quote:
8º- Either in the Ancient Tradition of the MIRACLE of Ourique that certifies the Teofania of the Founder who received Illumination from JESUS CHRIST (D. Afonso Henriques in Alentejo - 1139); either in the MIRACLE of Fátima in 1917, where the SAINT VIRGEN MARY if also relates "PORTUGAL", not it "Spain", "Spains" or "etnias", but in Nations - SHE spoke in "Nations", "Portugal" and "Russia".
Uh, alright.. I won't comment on that, if you don't mind.
