Is the correct way to talk about a Portuguese king then to say Dom Sancho I etc, rather than rei Sancho I?
Obrigado
Peter
Yes, it is generally appropriate to include the title “Dom” 🙂
Hi,
Two questions: (1) You have interpreted “chegou a ser conquistado” as “it was conquered”. Would it be correct to simply say: ” foi conquistado”?
(2) You have “este mandou” as ‘he ordered”. I would have expected “ele mandou”.
Thanks

Olá, Declan!
1) Yes, you could say “foi conquistado”. “Chegou a ser conquistado” is just more emphatic, as if you were saying something like “the Moors even managed to conquer it twice”.
2) Either way is absolutely fine; “este mandou” is a more literary choice 🙂
Hi Joseph,
Thank you for both answers.
Best wishes

Felizmente, tive a oportunidade de assistir ao castelo antes as obras. Gostei muito! E não é muito turística, pude explorar o castelo à vontade.
