Who We Are

Clive Gilbert & Mark Crathorne

The British Historical Society of Portugal was founded in 1974 and over the last 35 years has acquired a reputation as a leading authority on the Peninsular War in Portugal. In 1986 the Society printed what is still one of the most frequently quoted books on the Lines of Torres Vedras. In 2006 it started organising guided tours to the battlefield sites of Portugal and western Spain, and more than 1,000 visitors have participated to date.
