Spain was thus finally unified under a legit king, as during times of Visigoths. Then a count in Portugal leaded a rebellion against Philip IV and thus Portugal was reborn as a non legit vassal kingdom of Netherlands and Britain, enemies of Spain in the ambit of religious wars in Europe between Latin Catholic south against Protestant German north.
And ever since Portuguese have had a lot of troubles to justify their own existence. They have lead the major investigations on Spanish antiquity to find some short of justification. For Spain it is easy. Our monarchy thrace back to Visigoths, all the medieval chronicles pf León such as the Chronicle of Alfonso III and the Albedensian Chronicle stated the heritage from Recaredus to Rodrigo to Pelayo to Alfonso III.
But Portugal? They do have a hard time, their very own counts lacked of royal blood.
Even Catalonia and Basque Country have stronger arguments against Spain. Basques by factually claiming a Prehistoric aboriginal linguistic, racial and cultural heritage. Catalonians by claiming being a Carolingian province. There are still many arguments against these. But their historiography is stronger than the Portuguese.
