Royal Journey

King Diniz portrait inside a banner, showing his journey made from the royal capital, Lisbon, into the region of Salvaterra de Magos. This piece belongs to the map made for the Royal Falconry House of Salvaterra de Magos.
Every year, during the Middle Ages, King Diniz of Portugal and its subjects would evade to the riverside town of Salvaterra de Magos, where they enjoyed all its amenities, to hunt wild boar, wolf and fox using birds of prey, like the peregrine-falcon and the sparrowhawk.
