Portugal was born in 1142. In 1492, Queen Isabel I, the "Catholic", from Kingdom Castil, unified the other kingdoms and the caliphate, creating Spain.

So we are the oldest allies...but here's a question: What are the 3 major foreign languages taught in the English public school system? Hint: NOT the language of the so call oldest ally/friend! Answer: French, German and Spanish! Yep, that's right our oldest ally honors his oldest alliance treaty by not even bothering to teach Portuguese in their public school system amongst other things, and by the way all the three foreign languages taught belongs to countries that tried, over and over, annihilate UK and especially one that not so long ago bomb the crap out UK...Germany...Well no hard feelings as after all we are indeed the oldest dysfunctional alliance ever known. PS Yes I love the British people they are amazing and kind but ...a bit of more respect from our oldest ally is not asking much wouldn't you agree?

Hola, por ser el primer comentario del vídeo, ¿me podrían regalar una botella? prometo subir un vídeo inspiracional en cámara lenta mientras lo bebo.

Mr. Loades, this was very interesting and very well produced and an excellent presentation as always. Thank You fine Sir...

It was suspended during the 1580-1640, when there was a personal union between the Spanish and Portuguese kings with Spanish kings sitting on the Portuguese throne. Consequently the Spanish armada sailed from Lisbon in 1588 and included some Portuguese sailors. England continued to support Portuguese claimants to the throne.

Maybe one day we, Portuguese, may ask your help one more time, this time, not agaisnt Castilian or napoleonic troops but, to help us expel illegal foreing immigrants...if this isn t an invasion, i dont know what it is...

Very well done, but I have a question. Is this treaty still in existance today as was speaking too a Portuguese lawyer who said it is not. even though in June last the 2 governments celebrated 650 years of the treaty and some in S.E.F. seem never too have heard of it. I live in Portugal and am English too and came here under the accord rules, yet a friend of mine who has bought a house here is having a great deal of trouble getting his Chinese wife here as some in Castelo Branco S.E.F. have never heard of the treat. And those of all people should know of the treaty. Is this a case of Brussels sticking its big nose into things that don't concern them or what. From what I have read about the treaty. A English born and bred person can move here without and trouble and bring their spouse with then and any dependent children regardless of the country of the spouse and vise versa. So if it still exists, why is my friend having so much trouble with getting visa for his wife.

It's a not surprising shame that limeys confiscated this Portuguese vineyard. They are merely doing what they have always done. The usa is england 2.0! Great upload thank you.

Always a good day when the algorithm recommends Mike Loades documentaries.

I love Portugal, the Portugese people, and of course delicious Port itself 🤪

England : noone wants to be my friend😢 Portugal : il be your friend!

Acho muito triste aver tanto português a dizer que gostam dos ingleses quando estte povo nao gosta de nos Pra estes imbecis está aliança foi apenas uma ferramenta de exploração de Portugal Ingleses não prestam

I am from England, have always loved Portugal, the nation and the people, I raise a glass of maderia wine to 650 more years, of friendship and protection, Deus defenda Portugal

The Portuguese are very welcome to stay in Britain, a good people and the oldest European nation - state and the first and last Empire, we,British did the right thing in helping Portugal, especially during the Napoleonic Wars, against fractured Spain. May Portugal endure with honour, essense and well - deserved pride!.

The first Lisbon Bishop in 1147 was Osborno, a former English Conqueror of Lisbon. The Rolins Moura,the first Luso English Family who rulled Azambuja and Vila Franca Region, in 1147 and 1200 chart of rights English helped Portugal too much,in the South. We should be grateful to some Nations and Peoples. We had being both in Roman Empire,too.Londinium...❤

Man, that was an s t u p i d explanation.

Surrounded by bottles of Taylor's 20, 30, 40 and 50 Golden Age. Now that's my idea of paradise!

And the result of this oldest "alliance" is: 2.1 millions of portuguese migrants around the world (20% of their total population). -Portuguese migrants in France: 640.000 aprox. -Portuguese migrants in Spain: 110.000 aprox. (and raising)

We've had the Ice age.. The Bronze age.. Now its the Pissing about age.

"Promo SM" 😑

'Do not' buy Taylor's 20 year old Tawny Port in October 2023, sadly it is an appallingly overpriced, obnoxiously sickly mouthful, that will in my opinion, ruin the family name of all those tempted to buy it while on offer. Perhaps the reduction in price should have alerted me to the fact that something was obviously not right, but being at a major store, I thought I couldn't possibly be ripped off, how wrong I was. Had I purchased this bottle of supposedly two decade old plonk from a third world country village shop, for just a dollar, I still would have been unhappy. I'm certain Taylor's have either mixed up the batch, or they are simply selling off last year's garbage cheaply, prior to releasing the real 20 year old vintage this Christmas. Why the rant? We'll I'm bitterly disappointed. I've just arrived home after buying 6 bottles (as they were somewhat reduced) and I thought they'd make good Christmas gifts, but sadly however, I have no choice but to return all of them and will feed the one I've opened to a trifle or two, as that's about all it's fit for. The 20 year old I bought last Yule tide, was a robust, sumptuous mouthful of brandy laced Christmas pudding, with hints of toffee, walnut, orange and a more than obvious sense of age on the palate, like an old leather bound book, a pleasant surprise for a mere youngster in Taylor's vintage port family. There were none of those delectable refinements in the bottle I've just sampled however. The first sip of the vile, flavourless sugary syrup water, was enough to violate the palate of even the most unrefined port oficianado. I've seriously tasted better sherry, what a total waste of money. If you see this on offer, don't be tempted, or you'll regret it. Go for anything half the price and spend the surplus on some good cheeses to go with it, you'll be glad you did. Taylor's, what have you done!

I have a t-shirt who has Tylor's spot on it

Excellent and brilliant. Thank you

I would not mind catching a piela ate chorar no chao with one of these bottles

Much older.... The celts:hold my beer

Tried a glass of this during a visit to Taylor’s in Porto Portugal. Absolutely delicious and extremely refined!

I was gifted a 1963 Fonseca. All I have is a waiter’s key. And no access to port tongs. Any recommendations on how to safely open it?

❤👏👏👏👏👍🍸😋😋😋🍸

John of Gaunt was one of those brilliant politicians with acts that are so important, that stay in history for longer than many kings.

I LOVE this video!

Beautiful Porto 😍 and of course wonderful tayors port ❤.Thanks for sharing 👍 greetings from England 🇬🇧 Simon and Beth ❤️ 🙋

❤Ёмаё🎉

How you dong?- good . =)

Quer palhaçada. Povo ignorante e manipulável... vão estudar um pouco de história sobre a guerra colonial e o mapa cor de rosa....

I lick my lips

The Craft lives one so beautifully and in the hands of people whom understand. WONDERFUL!

As I sip my Taylors, I only wonder what the aroma of a 125 year bottle would be, let alone The taste. Amazing video. Wonderful Craft.

I have not tried any of your 20yo and up ports but hope to one day. I recently had Grahams 20yo tawny and was very impressed.

While not minimizing in any way the value of this "Oldest (indeed) alliance in the world", I was taught that the Alliance was 'signed' in 1386 - and indeed, have a brochure celebrating 'Portugal 600' - published in 1986. The brochure includes a message from the Ambassador of Portugal (to UK), specifically stating that the treaty was signed on 9 May 1386 by [representatives of] King Joâo I (of Portugal) and King Richard II (of England). I was also taught how to subtract and this makes it 637 year anniversary.

My Gt x 3 Grandmother Mariah Da Silva of the Tagus Valley married my matriarchal grandfather Stephen Palmer of the 48th Northamptonshire Regt during the Peninsular War and resettled here in England in 1814 . A very formal and loving alliance . I am honoured to have Portuguese blood in my veins .

3:00 Notice how they painted the "catalan counties" separately from Aragon? lmao 🤣 That part of the peninsula was simply part of the Kingdom of Aragon. What's the purpouse of paint them as a separate entity? English and their usual "divide and rule" agenda... old habits die hard, always trying to hurt us and weaken us. Proud of being spaniard and of our NON-alliance with you. 😘🇪🇸

A espanholada que vem aqui comentar, criem vergonha, cumpram o Tratado de Viena 1815 e devolvam a terra roubada de Olivença a Portugal.

Los ingleses utilizando a Portugal toda la historia. Es una tomadura de pelo para Portugal. Mejor la amistad iberica. 🇪🇦🇵🇹

Yet more irritating conflation of the concepts of England and Britain, with an Anglo-Portuguese pact being commemorated by the British state. This pact is often quoted as being the oldest international military treaty in the world. That is nonsense; the Franco-Scottish Alliance of 1295 predates it by some decades.

I live 22 years in the castle neighborhood. That bridge are a modern one open for tourists and the castle are reconstructed in the 40's by Salazar for the Exposição do mundo Português. Portuguese world exhibition. The original castle are far different from the actual one.

Portugal, obrigado por ser nosso amigo por tanto tempo. Cumprimentos, de um britânico. 🇵🇹💪🇬🇧 I hope Google translate didn't butcher that.

Im not proud, anglos worst ever
