Gonçalo Anes do Vinhal Nationality: Portuguesa Biographical Note:
Portuguese troubadour, but whose career mainly unfolded in Castilla and in a clear path of social ascension, Dom Gonçalo Anes, forth Lord of Vinhal, would have been born in the second decade of the 13th century, in the region comprised between Felgueiras and Celorico de Basto. We don’t know neither the date of his departure from Portugal nor the motives (like so many of the portuguese knights that left for Castilla at the time, it may have been related to the growing tension around king Sancho II), but in 1243 he’s already attested as the lieutenant of Helin and Isso, in the region of Murcia, in whose conquest he certainly participated alongside prince Alfonso (future Alfonso X) and to whom, in the next decades, he seems to have been in close relation. Also with the prince he takes part in the conquest of Seville, five years later, being handsomely rewarded in it’s Repartimiento. It’s possible that he returned for some time to Portugal (where he would have remained until 1256, as Resende de Oliveira supposes1), since around this time the village of Moimenta da Beira is donated to him by Afonso III.
