O presente trabalho de investigação aplicada refere “A importância da autonomia da
Leal Legião Lusitana no decorrer da Guerra Peninsular”. Pretende-se como objetivo último identificar de que forma esta força contribuiu para o sucesso do exército anglo-português nesse período.
A Guerra Peninsular ficará para sempre na História de Portugal como um dos
momentos da afirmação de independência Nacional. Travada essencialmente em Espanha e Portugal, contra os invasores franceses, o exército anglo-português uniu forças e combateu de norte a sul do país, mostrando ser capaz de lutar contra a superioridade do exército de Napoleão.
Sem que muitos se apercebam, a Leal Legião Lusitana contribuiu de forma muito
positiva para o referido sucesso. Fruto, um pouco, da personalidade impetuosa de Robert
Wilson, a Leal Legião Lusitana procurou sempre atuar de forma isolada e autónoma.
Conduziu, essencialmente, ações na vanguarda do exército anglo-português, obtendo informações, retardando, desorganizando e até mesmo impedindo o avanço dos invasores.
Tudo isto permitiu a Beresford, direta ou indiretamente, obter o sucesso, culminando com a retirada de Massena na 3ª Invasão.
A presente investigação mostra como a Legião foi criada, quem a financiava, a sua
organização e como a sua autonomia contribuiu para o sucesso do exército angloportuguês. Explica também como ela conduzia as suas ações e como acabou por se extinguir, dando lugar a novos Batalhões de Caçadores.
Tratando-se de um trabalho de investigação, a metodologia utilizada para a sua elaboração, baseou-se na pesquisa e investigação histórica, apoiada na consulta e tratamento de fontes primárias manuscritas e impressas, complementada com outras fontes textuais e bibliográficas nacionais, através da pesquisa documental, diretamente relacionadas com o tema a explorar.

The main objective is to identify how this force contributed to the success of the Anglo-Portuguese army in this period. The Peninsular War will be forever in the history of Portugal as one of the moments of affirmation of the National independence. This war was fought mainly in Spain and Portugal against the French invaders, the Anglo-Portuguese army joined forces and fought from north to south, showing to be able to fight the superiority of Napoleon's army. Not that many are unaware, Leal Lusitanian Legion contributed very positively to that success.

They took actions at the forefront of the Anglo-Portuguese army, getting information, delaying, disorganizing and even preventing the advance of the invaders. All this facts allowed Beresford, directly or indirectly, to obtain success, culminating in the withdrawal of Massena in the 3rd Invasion. This research shows how the Legion was created, who supported it, their organization and how their autonomy contributed to the success of the Anglo-Portuguese army. Also explains how the Legion drove their actions and how become extinct, giving way to new Hunters Battalions. Since this is a research project, the methodology used for its preparation, was based on investigation and historical research, based on consultation and treatment of manuscript and printed primary sources, supplemented with other national textual and bibliographical sources, through research documentary, directly related to the topic to explore.
