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.

Filipe, the reconquest in Portugal indeed ended earlier than in Spain, with the definitive conquest of the city of Faro, by the forces of D. Afonso III "o Africano", (Dom Diniz father) in 1249.
Despite this conquest, the war against the Moors continued at sea ... but that was another business.
