| Summary: | If we had read the text so-called "pacto sucessório" between the counts Raymond and Henry in the century when it first appeared published, it would be possible to date it around 1085, during the siege of Toledo. For the contemporary historians such a chronology is impossible but it was perfectly acceptable for the modern ones. We have conducted a thorough analysis of the text, and detected other anachronisms and incongruities in a setting whose main purpose seems to be able to demonstrate the illegitimacy of the kingdom of Portugal. In a brief analysis of the conditions under which the document appears printed, during the restoration of independence war, and taking into account that the manuscript have never appeared, we found that it could be a false erudite of the XVII century..
