"internal leadership problems"? pó crl somos mazé os máiores--AnYoNe! 21:01, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

It is largely accepted that "the assembly of the estates-general of Portugal at Lamego" never took place. It seems to be an invention and forgery created in the sixteenth century. Therefore it should not be presented as a fact but rather as a relevant legend, related to the battle. -- LNM —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.243.100.155 (talk) 03:09, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Quote from the Article: "It was presumed that after his victory over the five Moorish kings, the nobles acclaimed Afonso Henriques as king.[1] In reality, documents after his victory continued to refer to Henriques as Prince or Infante"

How many documents? The majority of all documents, as we see after 1140 AD Era (former 1178 era at that time) Afonso Henriques already apears always as King - Rex Portugaliae, Portugalensis Rex, Rex Portugalensium. We have only one major event at those previous few months: Ourique.
