The Siege of Lisbon, from July 1 to October 25, 1147, was the military action that brought the city of Lisbon under definitive Portuguese control and expelled its Moorish overlords
After four months, the Moorish rulers agreed to surrender (October 21), because the Crusaders siege tower reached their wall (thus causing a one day standstill) and because of hunger within the city, which was sheltering populations displaced from Santarem as well as "the leading citizens of Sintra, Almada, and Palmela"
The city is entered by the Christian conquerors
