Following threats and negotiations, the <em>alcaide<\/em> surrendered. Subsequently the castle was renovated and the gates to the city were also removed. It is highly likely that more modifications took place, such as the construction of the barbican, which was lower and in a more advanced position than the main wall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his rule, King John I strengthened the alliance between Portugal and England by marrying Philippa of Lancaster and signing the Treaty of Windsor. The English presence in the kingdom grew, leading to the Portuguese adoption of Saint George (the patron saint of England) as protector of the kingdom and army and, presumably, as patron saint of Lisbon\u2019s Castle. John\u2019s court frequently sat in Lisbon, so the Royal Palace at the castle was developed and improved. In 1424, the lavish wedding of John I\u2019s daughter Isabella to Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, took place at the palace. It was also at the palace that John I would die in 1433 and that his successor, Duarte, would be proclaimed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John I, Master of Avis, ruler and defender of the kingdom, was proclaimed king in 1385.
