Reihe: European Medieval Battlefields

This book presents an overview of the
decisive Battle of Aljubarrota (1385). The
authors embody the conflict in the context of
Iberian relations during the fourteenth
century, and integrate the battle in the
macro European conflict of the Hundred
Years War. They go on to reflect on the
implications of the Anglo-Portuguese
alliance, regarded as a turning point in the
establishment of national identity. The book
concludes with a presentation of how the
battlefield site is preserved today and how to
convey the medieval site to new generations.
