Along with the battle of São Mamede, perhaps our most important battle! Historic day for Portugal, August 14, 1385! Excellent video! Congratulations and thank you!
It was very important for England, actually. I would even say it was existential for England. I think John of Gaunt was aware of that. At the time Portugal already had a powerful medieval navy. Castille also had a powerful navy. England had virtually no navy at the time. If the two Kingdoms had been united under the same Crown, the joint navies would have become a potentially overwhelming force and we actually know the French, allies to Castille, had plans to invade England. The history of England could have been very different if Portugal had lost this battle. This is what is often missing from the English perspective. Portugal is probably the champion of the most unknown battles that actually had massive implications for Europe and even the global world. The greatest example is the Battle of Diu in 1509 (there is a second one at a latter date).
@@dinismantas7265 Indeed. Others would follow, and our little brave nation stood up. Matapan for instance was a battle where virtually "Europe's soft belly" would have been exposed to Ottoman forces had it not been for the Portuguese navy while others fled or didn't even bother to show (France). Others were played on different stages and also of strategic importance to Europe. Ksar el Kebir often deemed the disaster it actually was, represented the ultimate sacrifice for it was a European strategic victory though a tactical defeat. It stopped Ottoman and Moorish forces from combining forces against southern Europe.
This battle was so important that Castile was in oficial mourning for 30 years. Almost all their fighting nobility died their. When we saw famous web sites claiming that Spain didnt conquered Portugal just because it hadnt interest in that and hide the so many battles fought, we have to ask when will Europe split mere propaganda from true? They need to ask England how important is a big access to the Atlantic?
As Portuguese, I understand that Spain tries to forget and not teach what happened in Aljubarrota. Our Azincourt, where the English archers contributed greatly to this great victory, cimented with the oldest standing alliance, the Windsor Treaty, since 1386.
This battle was indeed extremely important for my country; otherwise, we would be speaking Spanish. All Portuguese are proud of that victory because we were outnumbered by far, but better prepared. The troops sent from England were a huge help which proves our bond with the oldest alliance in the world
As a traditional Catholic I'm curious what Saints were involved in this time frame. The general public tends to ignore God's hand in history. Keep safe 😷 🙏🏼
There were also Welsh archers who had been recruited by and served John of Gaunt, the English Duke of Lancaster. These details never get mentioned though as England likes to claim the longbow as it's own even though it originated in south Wales.
This battle was mainly between Portuguese and Castilians, yet these guys managed to twist the attention towards them right at the very start of their introduction. "In 1385, the heathered Moorland of Portugal witnessed a historic confrontation between English and French troops". 🙄 I'm honestly very confused.
Thats the problem Portugal always had, have, and hopefully will end someday, we NEVER looked to our history like others do to theirs, see our neighbour, they are known all over the place and we until recently if asked to an American for example, many think we are a bit of Spain. We begin the AGE OF EUROPEAN IMPIRES and forgotten we let us be. Our history has so many stories for movies even better, and thrilled than the best known of Shakespear or Braveheart, etc.
Amazing how a Portuguese epic victory, completely outnumbered , brilliantly planned, is portrayed as a victory of the English over the the French and Castille armies. A little shocked to be honest
Why is your introduction making it about England and the French as some sort of central pieces, when they were the lesser denominators in this episode? This is beyond inappropriate, and a very bad look for British academia. Guess what, there were Germans there as well, and I don't see them redirecting the attention towards them because of it. "In 1385, the heathered Moorland of Portugal witnessed a historic confrontation between English & French troops" Seriously, what the f... So creepy.
800 English archers on the Portuguese side and 3,000 French knights on the Castilian side, in the end the infantry won thanks to the military genius of Nuno Álvares Pereira, who chose the battlefield and prepared it quite well for the confrontation. What Nuno Álvares Pereira did is by the manual when you have a disadvantage greater than 1 to 3 on the battlefield. He narrowed the battle front, forcing the French and Castilian cavalry to stretch, blurring the numerical advantage, then the arrows English archers and Portuguese infantry authentically massacred the Castilian army and the French cavalry. There were no prisoners, they died or fled.
Seriously? The English and their Main Character Syndrome making this about English vs French lol It was not, it was about the Portuguese vs the Castillians.
It was just a battle in 14 august 1385, were 7500 portuguese and english had a showdown with 30000 castillian leonese and french. The portuguese and engish won agaist all odds. But it seems to me that it is to much information for an australian.

Pause @11:58. The evidence before you is what academia considers to be correct. What was said to be a cemetery failed to give up bones, proving them wrong. The reason this is farcical as proof of anythin, is the distribution of the bones. They are are not what would be consistent with how 6,000 people could be reduced to individual parts, undergo a sorting process which deposits them within the terrain, based upon their size, this means that no two bones lying next to each other could ever translate into being a 'smeone' caught up in a knife fight! This is evidence of death and destruction, but it has nothing to do with what you hear here.
Fui eu que ensinei o Nuno Álvares Pereira a lutar e as estratégias militares a ele e aos nobres portuguêses e ingleses...Enfim se Portugal é hoje Portugal foi por minha causa..Também lhe ensinei a montar a cavalo e a fazer o barulho de peidos com as mãos...
I have just got out of the battle site !!!! Just an amazing place !!!! travelled from Brazil to Portugal to see it for my self!!
Espero que tenha gostado, irmão!!

There were also many English battles where the Portuguese fought for England, however usually they were called as "English forces".
And It will be like that as long as It needs. Long live England and Portugal.
Very interesting. I had never heard of this very important (for Portugal) battle! Well done!

Never heard of it either but glad for the info you gave about the Treaty

@@StRaphael-we9qn Saint Sword and Saint Longbow. Those were the ones in that day that gave us victory.
Very interesting and well made. Thanks for sharing!

I'm honestly very confused.
There are a lot of similarities between Aljubarrota with Agincourt. Knowing more about this battle could show new angles to Agincourt.
Don't know why nobody did a movie about this amazing battle and its story behind it

@@RicardoJorgevuzzIdk what you're talking about because in my History classes our epic History is glorified and honoured.
Great Great Country! Portugal

This
Portugal and England are the oldest allies in the World.
The dislikes are probably from Juan and his soldiers
Just remember keep calm and carry on

Rather detail enhanced pod cast...🌹
Aljubarrota was part of the 100 Year War.
