EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print depicts the Treaty of Perpetual Alliance, signed on June 16, 1373, between England and Portugal. The treaty, also known as the Anglo-Portuguese Alliance, was a significant diplomatic achievement of the late 14th century, marking the beginning of a long-lasting friendship between the two European powers. The document, beautifully preserved in this print, bears witness to the peace and cooperation that emerged from this alliance. The treaty granted Portugal various privileges, including the right to fish off the English coast and the freedom to trade in English ports. In return, Portugal pledged to support England in times of war and to provide military aid if requested. The Treaty of Perpetual Alliance was a crucial moment in European diplomacy, as it marked the first time that two European monarchies had formed a formal alliance based on mutual interests and shared values. The alliance would prove to be a vital strategic partnership throughout history, with Portugal playing a key role in European exploration and expansion during the Age of Discoveries. This print is a testament to the enduring power of diplomacy and the importance of alliances in shaping the course of history. The intricate details of the document, with its elaborate seals and decorative borders, speak to the significance of the agreement and the importance placed on diplomatic relations in the late medieval period. The Treaty of Perpetual Alliance remains a symbol of the friendship and cooperation that has existed between England and Portugal for over six centuries.
