In the territory that is now Portugal, during the Reconquista of Iberia from the Moors, there were two distinct creations of Counties of Portugal. The First County of Portugal was established by Vímara Peres after the reconquest of Porto in 868 and was incorporated in the Kingdom of Galicia in 1071, after the death of Count Nuno II Mendes (while it enjoyed a certain autonomy, it always remained a dependency of the Kingdom of León-Galicia).

The Second County of Portugal, that came into existence in 1093 during the reign of Alfonso VI of León and Castile, was offered to Henry of Burgundy (who gave his aid in the Reconquista and who also received the hand of Teresa of León, the king's daughter, in marriage). This second county was much larger, including the territories of the old County of Coimbra, parts of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro and even the south of Galicia. This county would evolve in 1139 into the Kingdom of Portugal under Henry of Burgundy's son, Afonso I of Portugal.
