Redondo I if you please PIP...

Redondo I if you please PIP...
The foundation of Redondo goes back to 1250, during the reign of Alfonso III. Fortified by Denis I at the beginning of the 13th century, it lost influence later. In 1418, John I granted him privileges, so that Redondo regained some importance. Its population in the 2011 census was 7,031, including 5,733 in the city itself. Redondo has suffered a steady decline in population since 1960, when it stood at nearly 12,000 inhabitants. Every two years they decorate their village ( now 23 of their streets) with hand made paper flowers, under different themes kept "secret" until the opening day...

Denis signed the first Portuguese commercial agreement with England in 1308.
But to assist you in your knowledge of History, please read the very brief note that follows herewith:
Denis 9 October 1261 – 7 January 1325 called the Farmer King (Rei Lavrador) and the Poet King (Rei Poeta), was King of Portugal. The eldest son of Afonso III of Portugal by his second wife, Beatrice of Castile, and grandson of king Alfonso X of Castile (known as the Wise), Denis succeeded his father in 1279. His marriage to Elizabeth of Aragon, who was later canonised as a saint of the Roman Catholic Church, was arranged in 1281 when she was 10 years old. In 1290, Denis began to pursue the systematic centralisation of royal power by imposing judicial reforms, instituting the Portuguese language as the official language of the court, creating the first university in Portugal, and ridding the military orders in the country of foreign influences. His policies encouraged economic development with the creation of numerous towns and trade fairs. He advanced the interests of the Portuguese merchants, and set up by mutual agreement a fund called the Bolsa de Comércio, the first documented form of marine insurance in Europe, approved on 10 May 1293. Always concerned with development of the country's infrastructure, he encouraged the discovery and exploitation of sulphur, silver, tin and iron mines and organised the export of excess production of agricultural crops, salt, and salted fish to England, Flanders, and France.
