Bombarral ((:bõbɐˈʁaɫ)) is a Portuguese municipality in the Oeste Subregion, region Centro. The population in 2011 was 13,193,〔(Instituto Nacional de Estatística )〕 in an area of 91.29 km².〔(Direção-Geral do Território )〕 It includes four civil parishes ((ポルトガル語:freguesia)) that provide local services. ==History== It is known that the area of Bombarral was occupied during the geological period, and there exist vestiges of human settlement throughout the municipality, including pre-historic remnants in ''Gruta Nova'', ''Lapa do Suão'' and the Neolithic fortifications of ''Columbeira'' and the ''Castro de São Mamede''. Most documented references to Bombarral begin in the 14th century, when the area was under the dominion of the Monastery of Alcobaça. With the creation of Portugal, King Afonso Henriques donated the lands to Cistercian monks, around 1153.〔 Before, the Battle of Aljubarrota King John of Portugal stayed in Bombarral with his Knight, Luís Henriques, in the strong-house that would later be converted into the municipality's council hall.〔 In the 18th century it was recognized as ''"Queens lands"'', and part of the municipality of Cadaval until 1852. During the Peninsular War, 15000 Anglo-Portuguese troops confronted a much smaller army of French infantry and cavalry (5000 total) in Roliça in the first engagement by British forces.〔 The Battle of Roliça, along the northern frontier with Óbidos, was a confrontation between English General Arthur Wellesley and French General Henri François, Comte Delaborde, who were sent by General Jean-Andoche Junot, to harass and hold British forces until a much larger force could confront the English. The valleys and gullies of Roliça allowed the small French contingent to confront the much larger British force, yet they were unable to defeat them. Although successful, Wellesley did not press the fleeing French troops (who withdrew to Montachique near Torres Vedras), and instead went to support the landing of 4000 troops arriving from England along the coast. Until 1914, Bombarral was a region of its neighbour Óbidos. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bombarral」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
