Template:Geobox Alcanede is a civil parish in the municipality of Santarém, in old district of the same name, of the Ribatejo. Although between 1163 and 1855 it was the municipal seat (with a population of 6408 inhabitants in 1801), today its only a local government with approximately 5048 residents (2001) in an area of 108.84 km².

History

Between 1163 and 1855, with a population around 6408 (1801), it was the municipal seat of a municipality consisting of Louriceira, Malhou, Alcobertas, Fráguas, Abrã, Alcanede and Arneiro das Milhariças.

During the Roman occupation, the region of Alcanede constituted the western limit of the Santarém colonia; it was a secondary Roman transit roadway.

Afonso Henriques donated the village of Alcanede to Gonçalo Mendes de Sousa, while the ecclesiastical rights were transfer to the Monastery of Coimbra, in 1163.

In 1179, the castle's garrison assisted Fuas Roupinho to defeat Moorish incursions and attacks on the Castle of Porto de Mós, and in 1187 King Sancho I donated the castle in Alcanede to the militia in Évora (the future Order of Avis).

King Ferdinand had the castle remodelled in 1370. In 1372, Vasco Fernandes de Camões (descendent of Luís de Camões) was appointed the Alcaide-mor of the Castle of Alcanede, just as the garrison allied itself with the Master of Avis (per the chronicler Fernão Lopes).

In 1514, King Manuel provided a regal charter (Portuguese: foral). During the accession crisis, the municipality supported Philip II of Spain, yet for a while, António, Prior of Crato, sought refuge in Alcanede, on his escape from the country. In July of 1679, Father António Vieira stayed in Alcanede, as revealed from his correspondence with diplomat Duarte Ribeiro de Macedo.

On 16 July 1719, the local population revolted against taxes imposed by the Order of Avis, going as far as marching to Lisbon and receiving a favourable hearing from King John V.


During the third French invasion, between November 1810 and March 1811, the main village is occupied an pillaged by French troops from Massena's 8th Corp.

After the 1820 Liberal revolution, the Municipal Chamber of Alcanede aligned itself with the new regime. During the Patuleia (1846) Alcanede and its region wre sites of many confrontations between Cartistas and Setemberistas forces.
