Talk:Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of 1373

Why?
The reason for this treaty is not mentioned, and it is not mentioned in the articles about the monarchs involved.--Jack Upland (talk) 06:09, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Noting that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_III_of_England#Early_reign indicates it was for assistance during the early Hundred Years war - Flamefew (talk) 05:38, 19 January 2017 (UTC)


 * It was an anti-Castilian alliance in the context of the 100 Years War between England and France. According to Jonathan Sumption it wasn't ratified in 1373, was 'a dead letter as soon as it was signed', but was revived informally in 1380.(Sumption, 'Divided Houses', pp 183 & 383) Therefore the 650th anniversary celebrated in 2023 is arguably a fiction. These facts and the story of how it later came to be so firmly established need to be written up in the article by someone with more time than me.

Citation for Falklands War usage of treaty
Various items identify that the British used the Azores for logistics (https://books.google.com/books?id=S-yyq0qTer4C&pg=PA39&lpg=PA39&dq=azores+falklands+war&source=bl&ots=-isbc6N1-v&sig=namVOexpcHLLYJ5hZl2OlxQIxfE&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiO5J-3vc3RAhWCLmMKHV2fASMQ6AEILDAC#v=onepage&q=azores%20falklands%20war&f=false + https://falklandstimeline.wordpress.com/1982-2/ for example), but I find nothing saying explicitly that the treaty was invoked. - Flamefew (talk) 05:38, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
