摘要：The birth of the frontier between Galicia and Portugal was an arduous process. The control over this area relied, to a great extent, on the success of the kings of Leon and Portugal in assuring the local nobles’ loyalty and service. The role played by the local nobility in the creation and military defense of this border can be analysed throughout chronicles and diplomas. These sources cast light on the nobility’s key military role in southern Galicia and the political consequences derived from these nobles’ loyalty or infidelity. The kings of Portugal and Leon actively seek the local nobility’s support; however they also relied on royal marriages in order to solve border conflicts. In that regard, disputed landholdings and castles were given to the Portuguese monarchs as part of the Leonese queens’ dowry. Some nobles were chosen as executors of these marriages agreements, so they acted as intermediaries between both kings.
