Description

The Conference of Zamora was a diplomatic meeting held on 4–5 October 1143 between Afonso Henriques, then styled Infante of Portugal, and his cousin Alfonso VII of León, King of León and Castile. It took place at the Cathedral of Zamora in the presence of the papal legate, Cardinal Guido de Vico. While often erroneously referred to as the "Treaty of Zamora," no surviving document from the meeting supports the conclusion that a formal treaty recognizing Portugal's independence was signed at this time.
