I still can't get it.
Why Algavre for so many centuries was consider a different kingdom?
If there would be more natural kingdoms and principalities under the Crown,
I would understand, but why Portugal superficially created and distinguished only one?

Included in the Van der Hagen Atlas, and made by Nicolaes Visscher II (1649-1702)
Here you have it in a better quality image(the original):
Those old maps are very interesting.

I miss Portugal a lot, from afar I always found it like "meh" until I visited it, never felt so good exploring a place

And what?
Castillia and Aragon did not proclaim a kingdom only the
last territiory which they conquered, and more than that,
in majority they collected real kingdoms under their crowns.
And btw, in early XIXth century Algavre was made equal in the
triple Kingdom of Portugal, Algavre and Brasil, so at least at that
time was more significant. But it is too late and still sensless.

In that map you can alsosee named as Regnum (kingdom) Murcia or others that never were kingdoms, aswell as mixed with ancient designations of tribes or territories that did not exist centuries ago.
It is a kind of historical map mixed with that times reality,things that they did at that time, we cannot ask precision from maps of that time ...

There is no reason other than the decision of the king who conquered it to name it as a second kingdom, even though there was never a king of the Algarve alone. Apparently only in 1910 when the republic was implemented Algarve was considered just another portuguese region.
