Treaty of Lisbon

The fundamental terms of the treaty were:

-The Spanish Habsburgs finally recognized the legitimacy of the Braganza dynasty in Portugal. Infanta Catarina, Duchess of Braganza (1540–1614), former Duchess of Braganza and grandmother of João IV of Portugal, was retrospectively acknowledged as a legitimate heir to the throne.

-Portuguese sovereignty over its colonial possessions was reconfirmed, except for the African exclave of Ceuta, who did not recognize the House of Braganza as the new ruling dynasty.

-Spain cedes Luzon to Portugal in exchange for its rights to the Spice Islands.[1]

-Agreements on the exchange of prisoners, reparations, and the restoration of commercial relations were reached.

-Portugal ceded the African city of Ceuta to Spain. Seven years earlier, the nearby city of Tangiers had been awarded to Charles II of England as part of the dowry of Catherine of Braganza; this was stipulated in the Treaty of Lisbon of 1661.

-Isabel of Beira is to be married to Charles II of Spain to seal the treaty.[2]

1. The Spanish failed to quell the revolts and chaos that succeeded the Maniago, Almazan and Malong in Luzon even if their leaders were killed (and even importing Merdicas soldiers to fight them failed) which the Spanish had news block out and the Spanish found a way out, to this, Luzon(Saludong) would benefit in this treaty as its Pagan population would no longer be targetted for conversion.

2. Portuguese alliance with Britain would be temporarily broken as long as Isabel of Beira is married to Charles II and as long as he is alive.
