 Alfonso I

Alfonso Henriques became

A Knight of the Templars to fight

For the Catholic Church in aim

To conquer infidels with might.

In Portugal, Alfonso fought

Back the Moors coming to invade.

An end to Catholics was sought.

But Alfonso in brave crusade

Did wage many a fierce campaign,

And forced Moor armies to retreat,

Leaving the Catholic domain

Victorious in Moor defeat.

And Alfonso's Church rewarding,

Was ordained Portugal's first king.
