<p>188.29.164.43: /* History */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Era|acb|pl}}<br /> {{WP-REAL}}<br /> <br /> [[File:PL Exodus.jpg|thumb|250px|Lisbon]]<br /> '''Portugal''' is a country in southern Europe, sharing its borders with [[Spain]].<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> During the [[Renaissance]] the country was ruled by [[Manuel I of Portugal|Manuel I]], who had close ties to Spain and the [[Templars]]. after João II investment in navigation and maritime routes, he  took great interest in founding colonies in the east, such as [[India]].<br /> <br /> After having learned of the [[Assassins]] being present in India as well, he sent a fleet of thirteen ships to [[Calicut]], led by [[Pedro Álvares Cabral]]. However, the Assassins destroyed the fleet and only three ships managed to return to Portugal. Manuel then sent [[Vasco da Gama]] and a fleet of 800 men to Calicut to root out the Assassins, though many of the men fell during a fierce Assassin attack, sending a clear message to Portugal and making clear they didn't accept their interference.<br /> <br /> Manuel then ordered a lock-down in [[Lisbon]], preventing anyone from escaping, and forced all citizens to convert to {{Wiki|Christianity}}. The Assassins managed to evacuate many citizens, though they knew they could never get all of them out of the city. Realizing they had to do something, they provided the citizens with weapons, armor and a basic combat training, giving them a chance to stand up against their king.<br /> <br /> ==Reference==<br /> * ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''<br /> [[Category:Portugal| ]]<br /> [[Category:Countries in Europe]]</div>
