i think people are mixing up Crusades (capital C) and crusades. while it could be said that the Portuguese invasion was a crusade (defined as "a war instigated for alleged religious ends"), it may or may not be part of the Crusades (some historians believe that the Dum Diversas papal bull was an extension of it; others disagree)
