Although Dom Dinis didn't do much campaigning himself, wasn't it during his reign that the Moors were finally expelled from Portugal? I remember reading that the final battles to push them out were in the 1290s sometime... If I have the wrong chronology, please advise. If it was indeed at the close of the 13th cent., then it would give Portugal a lot of bragging rights since their Spanish neighbors didn't end the Moorish occupation of their turf until the victory at Granada in 1492.
