Arriconha in Tagilde was the birthplace in 1187 of Saint Gundisalvus of Amarante, a Portuguese Catholic priest who went on pilgrimages to Rome and Jerusalem and became known for carrying out miracles.[2]
On 10 July 1372, the Treaty of Tagilde was signed between King Ferdinand I of Portugal and John of Gaunt, a claimant to the Crown of Castile and the son of the English king, Edward III. That was considered to provide the legal basis for the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of 1373, which was signed in London, and the Treaty of Windsor of 1386, which confirmed the alliance, which remains in effect today and is considered to be the oldest alliance between two countries.[3][4]
