Talk:Count of Portugal

Nomenclature
Is the "First County"/"Second County" nomenclature used at all in English? I have never seen it, nor the Spanish equivalent. I can't read Portuguese, by I do get one GoogleBooks hit for primeiro and segundo condado de Portugal. Should Wikipedia follow this terminology? (I can find few sources in English or Spanish that deal with the period of the first county in any depth.) Srnec (talk) 03:50, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

There was never a "County of Galicia". Galicia was always a kingdom. A kingdom is a state with its own laws. Loyalty is to the King, not the kingdom, so it doesn't really matter, especially then, what the official title of the king is.

As for the "forming" of nationalism in the middle ages, are you joking? Nationalism in medieval peasantry? That's a laugh. Provocateur (talk)
