On This Day In History . 9 May 1386 . The Treaty of Windsor . . ◼ The Treaty of Windsor is the diplomatic alliance signed between Portugal & England on 9 May 1386 with the Treaty of Windsor & the marriage of King John I of Portugal (House of Aviz) with Philippa of Lancaster, daughter of John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster (son of Edward III of England). . ◼ With the victory at the Battle of Aljubarrota, John I was recognized as the undisputed King of Portugal, putting an end to the interregnum of the 1383–1385 Crisis . ◼ The Treaty of Windsor established a pact of mutual support between the countries. This document is preserved at the Portuguese National Archives. . ◼ Historian Matthew Winsett says, “This treaty has been the cornerstone of both nations’ relations with each other ever since. It was very important throughout history, influencing the participation of the United Kingdom in the Iberian Peninsular War, the UK’s major land contribution to the Napoleonic Wars & the establishment of an Anglo-American base in Portugal. Portugal aided England (& later the UK) in times of need, for example, in the First World War.” . ◼ The most important part of the treaty stated that: . ‘It is cordially agreed that if, in time to come, one of the kings or his heir shall need the support of the other, or his help, & in order to get such assistance applies to his ally in lawful manner, the ally shall be bound to give aid & succour to the other, so far as he is able (without any deceit, fraud, or pretence) to the extent required by the danger to his ally’s realms, lands, domains, & subjects; & he shall be firmly bound by these present alliances to do this.’ . . . #OnThisDayInHistory #ThisDayInHistory #TheYear1386 #OnThisDay ##TheTreatyofWindsor #Treaty #d9may #TreatyofWindsor #England #Portugal #diplomatic #Allies #plantagenet #plantagenets #houseofplantagenet #Heritage #RoyalHistory #EnglishMonarchy #History #KingofPortugal #JohnofGaunt #DukeofLancaster #Historic #Alliance #BritishMonarchy #PhilippaofLancaster (at Windsor, Berkshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_-0irSD8yy/?igshid=pgu8lcxnbh7l
