Finally my beautiful city! Lisbon was always a main reference for the Templars, where they were rescued by John I, Avis' master, and then turned into "Avis' order" to avoid being persecuted because of the name. It's also said that the templars escaped from Portugal with the Holly Graal by ship, PORTuG(r)AL. That's why Lisbon was always a Templar city in the games and the city itself is full of masonic simbols.
By that time, not only the earthquake happened, Portugal was invaded by Spain with the help of the French, because of the 7 years war, and the British decided to help Portugal, supporting the "oldest alliance" until today.
