History

En 1594​ formaba parte de la Tierra de Alcántara en la Provincia de Trujillo con la denominación de Aldea el Rey.

A la caída del Antiguo Régimen la localidad se constituye en municipio constitucional en la región de Extremadura, partido judicial de Alcántara​ que en el censo de 1842 contaba con 160 hogares y 876 vecinos.

Desde mediados del siglo XX, el número de habitantes ha bajado considerablemente.

Monuments

Destaca la iglesia parroquial católica del siglo XVI bajo la advocación de Santiago Apóstol, perteneciente a la diócesis de Coria​ y el castillo de Belvís, del siglo XIII.

En 1906 se construyó el cementerio actual -denominado de la Santísima Trinidad-, exhumándose los restos del antiguo -llamado de los Santos Mártires- y procediéndose a la venta del solar de este último.
