ARTICLES RELATED TO Battle of Aljubarrota | | | |  Battle of Aljubarrota: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Aljubarrota - BattleThe initiative of starting the battle was on the Castilian side. The French allied cavalry charged, as they were accustomed to do: in full strength, in order to disrupt order in enemy lines. Even before they could get in contact with the Portuguese infantry, however, they were already disorganized. Just like at Crecy, the defending archers along with the ditches and pits did most of the work. The losses on the cavalry were heavy and the effect of its attack completely null. Support from the Castilian rear was late to come and the knights that did not perish in the combat were ...

| | | | Battle of Aljubarrota: Encyclopedia II - 1383–1385 Crisis - 1384 The armed resistance met the Castilian army on April 6, 1384, in the battle of Atoleiros. General Álvares Pereira won the battle for the Aviz party, but victory was not decisive. John I then retreated to Lisbon in May and besieged the capital, with an auxiliary fleet blocking the city's port in the river Tagus, in a severe drawback to the independence cause. Without the capital and her riches and commerce, little could be done to free the country from the Castilian king. On his side, John I of Castile needed Lisbon, not only for financial r ...

| | | | Battle of Aljubarrota: Encyclopedia II - 1383–1385 Crisis - Prelude In 1383, king Fernando I of Portugal was dying. From his marriage with Leonor Telles de Menezes, a Castilian lady, only a girl, princess Beatrice of Portugal, survived. Her marriage was the major political issue of the day, since it would determine the future of the kingdom.
Several political factions lobbied for possible husbands, which included English and French princes. Finally, the king settled for his wife's first choice, King John I of Castile. The marriage was celebrated in May 1383, but was not a widely accepted solution. Thi ...

Answering the call for help, English troops landed in Portugal on Easter. They were not a big contingent, around 600 men, but they were mainly veterans of the Hundred Years' War battles, enlightened in successful English military tactics. Among them were a division of longbowmen who already demonstrated their value against cavalry c ...

| | | | Battle of Aljubarrota: Encyclopedia II - Nuno Álvares Pereira - Military life Nuno started a military career very early. He was in the army when he was only 13, in 1373, and helped stopping a Castilian invasion. However, according to his own words, his first military campaigns were no more than skirmishes on the borders of Portugal. He was an impetuous and brave young man who soon showed himself to be an excellent leader.
Later on, when king Fernando I of Portugal died in 1383, with no heir besides Beatrice married to king Juan I of Castile, the Portuguese independence was again very fragile. Nuno was one of th ...

| | | | Battle of Aljubarrota: Encyclopedia II - Struggle for the throne of Portugal - Anthony and Philip Anthony of Portugal (1531-1595), Prior of Crato, was a claimant of the Portuguese throne during the 1580 crisis and, according to some historians, King of Portugal (during a short time in 1580, in the continent, and since then until 1583, in the Azores Islands). Anthony was the illegitimate son of prince Louis (1506 - 1555), and therefore grandson of King Manuel I. It was precisely because of his illegitimacy that his claim to the throne was considered invalid. Following the death of King Sebastian, Anthony had put forward his own claim, but ...
