King Dinis of Portugal and the Alfonsine Heritage
The medieval Castilian King Alfonso X «the Learned» (ruled 1252 - 1284) and his grandson, King Dinis of Portugal (ruled 1279 - 1325), not only were the two most prolific poets of the Galician-Portuguese Cancioneiros but also figured prominently as patrons of culture and the arts.
