| | It was precisely during this time — the middle of the twelfth century — that the consciousness of Portuguese as a language which was distinct from Vulgar Latin was established. | | | His successors moved to Coimbra (already retaken in 1064) and finally Afonso III in 1355 took up residence in Lisbon, which remains the capital of Portugal to this day. | | | Castilian, or Spanish, was still a second language for educated Portuguese in literary and court circles (partly due to the influence on the Portuguese court of intermarriage with the Spanish royal houses) and the writers such as Gil Vicente and Sá de Miranda wrote in Portuguese and Spanish. |
