This work approaches a few elements of the political and ideological discourse that legitimized both the Iberian Reconquista and the Crusades. With the informations provided by the De Expugnatione Lyxbonensi, letter sent to Osbert de Bawdsey by an anonymous, that narrates the conquest of Lisbon in 1147, it became possible to observe the confluence of discourses that surround these two Christendom’s expansive movements in the 12th century, the Iberian and the Oriental. That discoursive confluence was allowed and materialized, in an exemplary way, by the priviledged scenario of the conquest of Lisbon by Afonso Henriques, that wisely used the dynamics of the 2nd Crusade in order to obtain military help from Northern Europe forces. Thus, it was also possible with this work to have a small glimpse over the importance that this military achievement had for the Reconquista and the Crusades, being the De Expugnatione Lyxbonensi a small, but relevant expression of aggregation in a heterogeneous Christendom.   Bibliography A conquista de Lisboa aos mouros.
