I've been completely taken aback after reading about the life of Nuno Alvares Pereira. The man had main character syndrome throughout his entire life. When the war was over, and Portugal safe, he gave all his wealth to the veterans of the war, and became a monk after his wife died. The pope even made the man a Saint.

"Here lies that famous Nuno, the Constable, founder of the House of Bragança, excellent general, blessed monk, who during his life on earth so ardently desired the Kingdom of Heaven that after his death, he merited the eternal company of the Saints. His worldly honors were countless, but he turned his back on them. He was a great Prince, but he made himself a humble monk. He founded, built and endowed this church in which his body rests."

99.9% of Portugal battles during 5 centuries were outnumbered 😂 6th most important batle in history, acording to some scholars. Batle of Diu, Índia...217 enimy ships, against 17 😂 portuguese ships! Crazy batle 😊 Fun fact: Vice - Roy Almeida had a son that died in a batle that Almeida wasnt present. When he knew about that event he wrote a letter to the ruler of that region saying: " Dear...get ready for batle as i am on my way to destroy you and your town ... You ate the chiken, now you will have to eat the rooster!" Imagine the size of his b*lls 😂

Brilliantly detailed account. Another Iberian battle with significant consequences on the world stage was the Battle of Toro of 1476, which resulted in the Treaty of Alcaçovas. This treaty meant for the castilians, not only the political consolidation of Spain, but also their revenge for Aljubarrota. However it was far more meta for the portuguese, who used their intervention in castillian affairs (which in of itself was unrealistic) as a means to achieve hegemony in the Atlantic Ocean. The Treaty of Alcaçovas would deeply influence the Treaty of Tordesilhas. The deeds of Ser Duarte de Almeida, portuguese standard bearer at Toro and afterwards nicknamed The Mutilated, resemble the stubborn commitment of the comically infamous Black Knight of the Monty Pithon sketch, who despite losing his limbs never backs away from a fight.

I guess you will be rather surprised if you dive a into Portuguese History! From being the first, in fact only "Templar Nation" on this planet. To the 230 years of a state of war with the Ottoman empire! The numerous wars with the Castille later Spain. All the way to the colonial wars in the mid 70's. Close to 900 years of prevailing as a nation, one way or another! Fun facts: -The vast majority in clear numerical disadvantage! Which seems to be the only constant in Portuguese History! - In several regions of the country borders you can see "castles" until your eyes get lost in the horizon. In fact from one castle you can see the other! They were not built for landscape decoration. ;-)

Joao himself with D Alvaro de Sandoval the real guard protector of D. Juan. Joao felled into the ground and Alvaro was about to kill him with a sword strike but in the last moment Joao was saved by a regular Portuguese knight with a mace (blunt weapon) that strike D Alvaro in the very last moment. This Soldier "Martim Goncalves" strikes and kills D Alvaro saving D Joao. Saving is king won's the friendship and recognition of the king itself. Today he rests buried in a shallow grave in front of the chapel inside the monastery of Batalha (the monastery built to honor the Portuguese victory) of the founder (the king).

More like the Castillan nobles giving the French knight on a silver plate to the ennemy than anything, if they had really followed them I doubt Portuguese lines would have hold, and fleeing would have been complicated. Edit: now at the end, it seems that what lacked to the Castillan to sucessfully wrap their second attempt was... a stronger shock troop to break the ennemy center, like the French knight ? Those guys deserve a medal really.

Which showed the resilience of the Portuguese people to maintain their independence. Not only did this show that a country governed by those who love it is a country gifted for success. João and Nuno were brilliant in their strategy, which is sometimes not seen in a glorious way in other countries due to the low number of combatants involved.

A good documentary but with some errrors. In fact, the battle took place at the hill of St. George, north of Porto de Mós, and not South, as said in the video, but is a minor error. Although, the Castillian didn't fought with all of its forces deployed to the campaign, because thousands would be still marching while the first french-castillian attacks were on course. The second offensive by the castillian forces wasn't so frontal to attack even the portuguese flanks; however, because of the digged obstacles built by the portuguese, the castillian force was conducted and compressed in a "death corridor", which they had to pass to attack the portuguese front position. Yes, the front group of portuguese soldiers were overwhelmed, but the attack by the rear guard commanded by João I smashed the castillian group that passed through the portuguese frontline, envolving them in a pocket. Well, finally, we have to affirm that, almost certainly, the castillian king, Juan, was sick and didn't commanded directly the operations in this battle. The works and investigations by some historians had, already, rewrote the history behind some Aljubarrota myths. Still remains a good documentary in general terms. Congrats.

Literally the laughing stock of any Portuguese, with the bare minimum Historical background. LOL 😂 😂 But there is absolutely no doubts the guy lived in Portugal, wife was Portuguese, kids were Portuguese. He wrote in Latin, common Portuguese even common Spanish. Never wrote in Italian! Whenever the words missed the texts deflect back into Portuguese! Which is what you normally do, revert back to your mother tongue. Your regular familiar tongue. Oops! BTW By far and wide that was also a big part why the Colombo family had a court claim against the crown of Spain, for more than 200 year! Regarding the promises the crown of Spain never fulfilled regarding the Colombo's. No wonder since Isabella, the so called Queen of Spain, usurped the throne. That along serious wars between Portugal and Castilla (later Spain). With Portugal supporting the true Queen! To access the Spanish throne. While the dethroned real Queen of Spain, Joana (A Beltraneja). Later died in Portugal in the castle of Saint George, looking over Lisbon. In Portugal until her death, she was always addressed as "Royal highness the Queen". And always signed documentation as Queen of "Spain". ;-) In that scenario Colombo goes meet the opponent. And ask for astonishing royalties. As a Portuguese it would never fell good in their senses. For rather obvious reasons. No wonder they tried their best to condemn him... Something the sneaky "queen" was a expert on... Fun fact: The ONLY, I reiterate, ONLY written evidence of Colombo "nationality". It's a small note on the corner of a contemporary map.

Well, are you sure that only Brazil is a former colony? I love Spain, but the Portuguese were the ones who placed a relative backwater like Europe at the wheel (China, the Ottomans and parts of India were much richer and powerful than Europe back then - we tend to forget that, with our Eurocentric/American worldview but things were obviously quite different 600 years ago). The Portuguese Empire lasted from 1415 to 1999 - the longest-lived seaborne, global empire. Pretty stunning for such a small, resource-poor, undermanned, peripheral country. The African countries of Angola, Mozambique (both very large), Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau and St. Thomas and Prince were Portuguese territories until 1975. Goa, Daman and Diu (in India) were also part of the Portuguese Empire till the 1960's. Timor, in the Far East, was yet another colony. If you like history and want to be deeply entertained, just read the superb book "Conquerors" by Roger Crowley: this is the best book recommendation that you'll get this year. All the best

[BTW, he was Andeiro, not Andeira.] And the military leaders on each side were Pedro Álvares Pereira (Portuguese, but backing the Castilian king) and Nuno Álvares Pereira - who were half-brothers.
