Portuguese, normally outpowered and against all odds, in several moments in History, with the right leadership, have proven to be capable of achieving the impossible...
lopazio True, but most outnumbered battles we won were on the defence or attacking less advanced people in warfare.
@@nunosilva9896 concordo mais com o comentário anterior que com o teu. Embora seja verdade que tenhamos ganho algumas batalhas na defensiva, os nossos inimigos não eram militarmente obsoletos, temos o caso da guerra da restauração em que muitos dos soldados portugueses nem armadura tinham e grande parte das batalhas travadas contra os castelhanos (militarmente superiores e mais bem equipados) foi na ofensiva. Casos menores foram aquando as invasões francesas, nem exército tínhamos e só resolvemos a coisa com ajuda dos ingleses e da coragem do povo português
@@ZecaPinto1 Estava -me a referir a guerras na Índia, Arábia, Malásia, etc. Não a guerras contra outros Europeus. Invasões Francesas estávamos a defender.
@@nunosilva9896 Os Árabes o Otomanos eram tudo menos atrasados. Mais atrasados eram os Aztecas e Incas que os Espanhóis derrotaram.
@Daniel Ferreira Os Incas tinham medo de cavalos e os Astecas acharam que Cortéz era um deus porque tinha olhos verdes. Fala sério, meu amigo. Os ameríndios eram um povo antiquado para a época.
To clarify, Brites, the breadmaker woman from Aljubarrota killed the spanish men not with a digging shovel, but with a large wooden paddle for making bread, similar to what is used nowadays to handle pizzas in large ovens. Because of the portuguese word being "pá" for both utensils, this minor mixup is completely understandable.
Great video, learned a lot, even though we discuss this battle in school, we don't really go into tactical details.
I'm yet to make a video without such embarrassing mistakes. It's a minor thing, yet very annoying, for me, and for audience as well. My apologies.
Its all good Baz, it's incredibly minor, and understandable in a non Portuguese speaking context. In no way did it make the video bad because of it, don't beat yourself over it.
BazBattles don't worry. It's a small mistake due to "mistranslation". Even though that story is a myth I saw a story in Aljubarrota telling an alternative story. Upon spaniards entering her bakery looking for soldiers or trying to flee after battle (this part is unknown) she told them to enter an oven that fitted a few. She closed the hatch (that can be locked from the outside) then she then lighted up some wood and managed to stick it inside by small openings (used to heat up the oven) like that she cooked the soldiers inside that could not exit due the hatch was closed. Honestly I believe more this story.
That's nothing but a legend.
WOW you killed all those hiding Spaniards that's amazing, Aljubarrota woman- they were Spaniards, "I killed them because they ask for thick crust" while spitting on one their corpses
Respect Portugal from Greece!!! Good job John of Aviz!!!
You think that forming an alliance with england, this biggest thieves and traitors in all of recorded history is a job well done?? You're a sad individual.
@@snovem775 i understand what you are thinking, but at that time, when Portugal founded the oldest alliance active still to this day with the treaty of Windsor, the rulling dinasty back then, the Pantageneta dinasty, had a very diferent way of taking care of business and their word was alway fullfield. The small number, but strong and very well prepared and trained man, that was send it from the British islands helped to win this important battle
@@snovem775 Sorry but the biggest thieves and traitors in history are the Dutch.
@@snovem775 you are full of shit mate
This is for @s Novem may learn something.
Men i don't think you know us you must be Brasilian or something, if you are, i recomend to watch Imperios AD channel from youtube a Brasilian Teacher speaking neutrally of history, and second France sent 2.000 French heavy cavalary don't know if you heared that before, or if was just the 400 English Longbowman
Still 7.600 vs near 31.000 is a very big difference.
Do you know why? Franks always tried to tell they had the best cavalry in all Medieval Europe, but it was because they were well trained and equipped as large numbers.
What Castillian and French didn't bother was that our cavalry specially the "Order of Christ" were the descendents of the old Templar order that all Europe including the pope Except Portugal persued some centuries earlier and the portuguese had passed training through generations of knights. Some respect before responding irracionally, you call us thieves of what?
gold? From Brasil?
only 1/5 of the gold came to Portugal to pay the expenses of investments, and Brasil didn't yet existed as nation, thieves of africans? know that Africa still today keep slavery from warfare and on that time they weren't different they sold slaves from their defeated enemies just to buy guns and spices from the portuguese
as a small nation we controlled our empire mostly from aliances with natives and the portuguese ex-colonies still have natives living today they are descendants of allied tribes and many of those volluneered to join mercenary bandeirantes to atack their rival tribes to sell them to gain more power for themselves.
1500 tribes isnt the same pacifist tribes as today many were canibals and didnt care who they atacked what stopped many from being slaved was cristianism that forbidden cristians of being slaves in a cristian country
Portugal was close to becoming part of what is now Spain many times in its history. Just like Navarra, Aragon, Leon, etc. The fact that they avoided conquest or assimilation from the Castilians is remarkable.
Except they did rule over portugal for around 80 yrs. ´We got sick of them and kicked them out :D
Ayla Soares Dont spread historical garbage innacuracies, that "rule" was a mere union of two crowns (due to succession issues once again) that was vastly supported by most of the portuguese nobleman and burguesy. The Iberion Union was held for 60 years, during that time Portugal and Spain were diferent countries with diferent language, laws, currency, etc. But since the Union was under a spanish kings comand of course we served the spanish interests (including waging war against our english alies). That said, the moment Filipe III of Portugal (Filipe IV of Spain) decided to remove all the status that held portuguese independence (such has having diferent laws, etc ,etc) and try to make Portugal a province of Spain, a rebellion broke out and once again the Spanish were defeated and we left the Union. Hope you liked the history lesson.
Green Tuga ahem... ok, se achas que não sei isso estás muito enganado. Se leres o que digo é que os filipes governaram portugal por uns anos. Nao espalhei "historical garbage inaccuracies" coisa nenhuma. Ja agora queres ter uma conversa decente, nao uses termos como esses. Fazem-te parecer intitulado, e eu levei esse comentario de uma maneira muito negativa, embora nao ache que foi esse o teu intento. A verdade é que os filipes eram nossos reis, mesmo que as cortes tivessem o poder real. Vais me dizer que teriamos perdido todas as colônias que perdemos nessa altura, se o rei de portugal se preocupasse com elas? Nao, nao as perderiamos. Mas como o rei era espanhol...
Dá-me lá mais lições de história se achas que não conheço a historia do meu país.
Sabendo tu de história (coisa que presumi que não porque disseste que tivemos 80 anos sob "domínio espanhol" quando a união ibérica foram 60 anos) ainda mais grave se torna. É uma coisa completamente diferente estar sob o domínio de ESPANHA ou estar sob o domínio de um Rei espanhol. Estar sob o domínio de Espanha implicaria adoptarmos a mesma lingua, as mesmas leis, sermos regidos pelas mesmas cortes e partilharmos a mesma moeda, coisa que nunca aconteceu. De facto, sendo o Rei espanhol obviamente que serviamos os interesses de Espanha, mas não passava de um união entre 2 Reinos DIFERENTES. É mais grave dizeres que Portugal nessa altura era dominado por Espanha que dizeres que, por exemplo, a Escócia é dominada por Inglaterra.
Wow... a verdade é que a tua interpretação do que eu disse em inglês é muito mais elaborada do que aquilo que eu realmente disse. Assim sendo, vou desculpar-me desta discussão.
Mindlessly charging with French heavy cavalry seems to have been an ongoing medieval meme
The Xiao of Bao it was their culture to charge the French knights in first in order to make sure the glory goes to the nobility
CJ Matt Its not culture.
Seems that they didn't play Total Wars, so didn't know that cavalry is for flanking :(
although i love total war real battles dont exactly work like in total war ahaha , but yes in the early medieval periord heavy cavaltry was a new "technology" and was being mostly tested. So mistakes like this were common. It became a lot less common in the late medieval and renaisaince period
French was feared around europe

Fun fact: that alliance between the Portuguese and English is the oldest alliance in the world that is still in force.
Yes, it's written at the end of the video
Lazy Masquerade well other than the Auld Alliance between Scotland and France, ratified 1295 in the Treaty of Paris. Has never been revoked to this day.
Lazy Masquerade fancy seeing you here. Love your channel!
Jonny Aplin Scotland no longer exists as a nation whereas the alliance between portugal and england continued with the uk
Actually, the oldest alliance is probably between the devil and the Vatican! lol
Nuno Alvares was a tactical genius, in all his battles he was hugely outnumbered (one time even 7:1) and was always able to win massively.
He’s main trait was to carefully chose the battleground with the most tactical advantages and then entice the enemy to attack, such as here in Aljubarrota.
A tactic easily countered by not attacking.
nuno alvares made a huge blunder in this battle he is lucky that the castillian king was an idiot.
@@xyz2121 oh really? And how would they not attack? Would they just march into Lisbon leaving an enemy army blocking their path back to Spain?
The Darkest White Ahahaha, don’t you see the 2 above are tactical geniuses? Ahaha
7:1 🇩🇪 × 🇧🇷 😢😭
Let’s be honest, you only chose to call João John because “oão” broke your brain.
But seriously, great video
ahaha maybe...I learned recently that "ão" not only pushes your vocals but your nasal cavity to pronounce it correctly! For example, we cannot pronounce It the correct way if we cover our nostrils! Quite weird and when I was learning I think my teatchers did magic tricks back then ahahaah :)

@@danielribeiro6743 Gypsies and Arabs are not Portuguese, its not our heritage because they are not us, we have literal zero haplogroups in Portugal of Arabs, and even in Iberia only the most southern part has a small fraction, and even then only some specific locations have it and its pratically non existent genetic wise. The Moors segregated themselves hard from the native iberians, very Based, they also treated non Moors(non Morrocans or Algerian) as second class citizens, and the Gypsies are Northern Indian nomads made slaves by the Turks, they are not Portuguese, hence why they are despised by Europeans as a whole
Visited that monastery today! The entire central region of Portugal is amazing. Just nearby is Obidos, Ourem, Tomar and Coimbra up north. They are all so pivotal in the creation of Portugal. We couldn't stay long enough!

The story of the John's. Featuring John, John, and (you guessed it) Juan.
taocosta123 goddamn Juan coming out of nowhere in the story of John's
Joao, Xuan, Giovani and Sean are also comming

Featuring the 4th John as: the lover
Stay tuned for the story of Beatrice and John of Castille's son, whose name was... John!!!! :D (true story!!!)
You mean John, John and John?
Their brothers Joao, Xuan, Giovani and Sean are coming too, I heard from a reliable source there below.
So I can tell that the brothers Ivanhoe, Jean, Johann, Hans,Yannis and Ivan are coming also a bit later, their father Johannes gave his permission. They just need to blance their accounts before they can come out to play, father insisted. And after their northern brothers get rid of a few Vikings, Jan, Jon and Johan will join too.
Finally, I can tell from here Finland, who's on the other end of Europe, and where all the European fashions always come a bit late, that we can only send you there Juha, Juhani, Hannes, Hannu, Joni, Jouni, Jonne, Janne, Jani, Jaani, Jukka and Jussi. And that's only because their mother Johanna is really angry with them. She said their sisters are enough for keeping the house, namely Jonna, Janna, Jaana, Janina, Janine, Niina, Nina and Ninni.
Yeah, Johannes and Johanna have been quite busy. Picked some colourful variations for their kid's names.
Like John. Just don't tell grandpa Johanan about this. After burying grandma Hanna, he's been easily upset. Says he's mixing the grandchildren's names. Let's not shock him now.
such a great battle where the portuguese proved the effectiveness of their good tactics and a fighting spritit
greetings from spain
Thank you spanish
It takes an Iberian to take out an Iberian. Best regards from Portugal.
Plebeyo En Armas The spanish beligerance helped to shape the portuguese "never surrender" spirit. Nevertheless, Spain will forever be Portugal's bigger brother! Iberia will forever stand together!
As a Azorean reading these comments makes me thing, that perhabs a Iberion Union would work this time, a Iberion Federation, in Prussian/Germany Unification style. (Not saying im a supporter of the idea btw) this just made me imagine what Portuguese and Spanish think of this concept today.
lopazio
Portugal was established as a County in 868 and as a Kingdom in 1139 while Spain was established in 1492.
Why do people always say Spain is Portugal's big brother?
Just because I'm 22 and my 17 year old brother happens to be taller and wider than me, that automatically means he's my big brother?
Big brother has the same meaning as Older brother.

Nationalism sucks
Around 20 years ago or so, I read an Arab source from the 10th century which praised the Franks as tough warriors, but the author then said that a single Gallician is equal to 10 Franks! I'm sure he was referring to foot-soldiers, mainly. Those tough Portuguese were among the descendants of these tough Gallicians. From the late Middle Ages till the Peninsular War, Portuguese infantrymen and mariners were among the most skilled warriors of their time.
Celtic power 💪
Do you remember the historian's name?
@@henriquepacheco7799 I believe it was al-Mas'udi...but I need to make sure.
Galicia at that time was was a Kingdom with Pre Roman ethnic Celtic roots. It's territory was modern day Galiza and Northern Portugal. And it was from Northern Portugal that the Country was born.
@quotetheraven90 Suebi Germanic tribes came after romanization and didn't actually had a huge mark on genetics. it mostly had an administrative impact. it actually caused this region to be the first Medieval State of Europe.
Winning outnumbered 5:1 is so damn glorious!

Whats even greater is the fact that noble families were always honored and had part in a lot of the politics, eventhough Portugal was a Nation of Burhs they sure loved their Feudal Traditions, Maias, Magalhães, Martins, Machados, Araújos, Castros and Mouras are some of the many families you'll find all over portuguese history.
@@SkullGamerFull what araujo was really important in history?
@@alex2005z There were Inácio Francisco de Araújo Costa, an influent liutenant in the brazilian state of Piauí, a descendant of Manuel Francisco de Araújo Costa, a man that came from the lands of Alto-Minho in Portugal and after crossing the ocean settled in the region of what is now called Piauí, having a huge pasture in the Sussuapara farm and founding the parish of Nossa Senhora da Vitória, later growing to become the capital of the entire state of Piauí, changing its name to Oeiras (Nowadays Teresina is the capital but it changed not so long ago).
So that Araújo is an example of an Araújo that was amazingly important in the development of the modern state of Piauí in the country of Brazil, there were also Dom Rodrigo Annes, who was a earlmen of castle and lands of Araújo in the kingdom of Galiza, near Ourense.
You should! But remember, independence got a high price .. I will say you are lucky that you have only one single enemy because of your unique location. Although, even I really don't count them as such for Spaniard. Both nations have almost the same language, the only differences were developed upon getting rid of Arabs which is merely 600 years in span. If Portugal did have a third enemy, Spain will be your best and only ally that you can count on!
Ahahah.. Just wait until this generation ofvidiots be teached by the actual generation of feminist-progressive teachers and you'll see what they know.
(Resuming, this:
Being a Brasilian makes me proud of my forefathers!!! All hail the might Portugal! :)
GRANDE GUSTAVO!
Caro Gustavo. Portugal existe como pais livre, deve também aos Portuguese do Brazil. Por curiosidade, pesquise quem financiou as lutas contra Espanha após 1640. Os portugueses do Brazil já não queriam pagar impostos altos a coroa espanhola. Só a cidade de Ceuta (Marrocos). conquistada pelos portugueses 1415, manteve-se fiel a coroa de Espanha (pela proximidade a esta).
Gustavo S.Lamarque tu país es un invento
Espero que vocês tenho herdado este espírito lutador e patriota que nós temos. Nunca se deixem invadir brasileiros!

*Battle of Macau, 1622, 24th of June*

-The Dutch: a fleet of 13 ships, totalling 1300 men, of which 800 were landing forces. English ships helped in the maritime blockade for some days prior to the Dutch invasion

There was also the siege of Diu (don't confund with the naval battle of Diu)
In the siege of cochin it was 150 portuguese vs 50K Indians.
Portugal won.
just 2 minor mistakes... during the 1st Castillan invasion, Castillan forces took the city of Santarém, which would serve as a Castillan outpost inside portuguese territory garrisoned by part of the army that had sieged Lisbon in the 1st invasion and was a strongly defended position that even the Portuguese didn't dare to attack just yet... when the 2nd invasion began, king Juan I of Castilla entered Portugal through Trancoso, passing by Coimbra en route to Santarém to rendezvous with the other Castillan forces to reinforce it's numbers before attempting another attack on Lisbon, but the Portuguese army managed do force the Castillan army to move more to the west of it's original route, and eventually, in Aljubarrota, the Portuguese now saw a more favorable site to stop the invaders, Juan I decided to go around them to bypass the portuguese army and rush straight towards Santarém, but seeing that if he didn't defeat the portuguese on that hill then, he'd have to deal with both the garrison in Lisbon and an entire army harassing his army's rear guard, so he decided to accept the challenge from King João I and his loyal Constable.
Another details that failed there were the fact that portuguese made obstacles, trenches and traps, forced the castillan forces not only to slow down their advance, but also move through a very narrow corridor, that even caused many casualties on the Castillan just from soldiers being trampled or crushed by their own comrades, and there was an attempt by the Castillans to flank Portuguese positions by attacking and surrounding it's supplies carriages located on the rear of the Portuguese lines, but were surprisingly defeated by the tenacious effort of the Portuguese guards
Thanks for this comment.
you're welcome... I'm portuguese and studied military history so I thought I should only give this comment to show some more information regarding this battle.
another good sources regarding this battle are any works by João Gouveia Monteiro (my military history teacher) regarding this battle and the official website of the Aljubarrota Foundation (which is also in charge of a museum dedicated to this battle and also other battles around the same time period), you can visit it here: www.fundacao-aljubarrota.pt/?idl=2
thanks for the video, that baker women is very famous here to this day
yes that s right the portuguese flanks are small rivers that can be crossed. and spanish army try to take that but they are repelled by the portugueses.
Another emotional moment was during the siege of Lisbon. The Yong Condestable Nuno Alvares Pereira, making the guerrilla war beyond the Castilian fleet and army, set signal fires in the hight of the Palmela Castle, south side of the Tagus river, to being seen in Lisbon, to keep the resistence there, as a signal of hold the fight because we are here. A myth and a legend, the man.

"As armas, as armas!

"To arms, to arms!
Over land, over sea,

The word british (bretoes) was after some time replaced with canhoes (= canyons) just to make it more politically correct, lol.

Or
Some guys in square thing with low battle experience
David Pereira nah. Não foi bem assim. As forças portuguesas estavam habituadas a lutar em formação de losango, só que pelo caminho encontraram um cagalhão no meio da estrada e tiveram que virar a formação para se desviarem do poio, ficando assim num quadrado quando deram porrada aos espanhois

The Portuguese only managed to get 100 English long-bowmen at their side, not several hundreds. Portugal is known for winning many outnumbered battles throughout its history. Good video.
Longbowmen* mr.sassy pants
Around 400 to 600 inglish bowman
Lord Hades HaHa Until the netherlands stole yours empire
Reports differ, but the consensus is around 300 veteran English Longbowmen
if 100 or 700 long bowman is not the real main subject. They are veterans fighting the french cavalry. They teach how basic holes in the ground could break the legs horses and stop the charge.

Just think of this: two small nations at the bottom of Europe managed to open up the world to itself. If we'd been one nation we wouldn't have a reason to start exploring. We literally changed the world and triggered the fastest and most relevant cultural, social and technological evolution the world has ever seen. These two tiny nations. That's quite something.

i cant believe you made a video about one of the most important battles in the history of my country. you should make a video about the Battle of Torres Vedras, during the napoleonic invasion or the Battle of the 3 Kings (the greatest militar disaster in portuguese history, also know as Battle of Alcacer-Quibir, it caused the spanish occupation of Portugal and the rise of House Braganza). I'm portuguese and a great fan of your videos. however, in this video you could have talked about the Square Tecnic (in portuguede "tatica do quadrado") used by the portugueses and that was one of the major reasons for their success.
Ed Knowz Experts claim that ther was no such thing as a Square Tactic... They claim that the portuguese front line opened up out of fear from the strong french push, but then, the portuguese general order them to close on them. And after they closed on the french nobleman, something happened which is also a big fail in this video: a lot of french nobleman from the first cavalry charge were made prisioners on the back of the portuguese lines. But then, in order for the portuguese to resist to the second spanish push, D. Nuno Alvares Pereiro order his men to kill the French prisioners that were imprisioned in the back which was not something normal at medieval battles (nobleman prisioners means huge ransoms to be paid). This was one of the most bloody battles of this period . The portuguese chased the fleing spanish army and it is said that the rivers became red from all the blood. Thousands of spanish soldiers and nobleman were killed and it had such an impact on the Spanish Kingdom that the King issued a TWO YEARS mourning period... This battle was key to portuguese history as it repelled the Spanish from trying to invade again, making way for the Portuguese Age of Exploration and Discoveries (an effort that took place with the same courage and violent/bloody mentality as in a
Aljubarrota, nobleman knights became Ship Captains ) which gave Portugal a place on the Human History.
lopazio i remember studying in school the square tactic invented by nuno alvares. they imprisioned the vanguard in a square and killed them. it was all meant to be that way. that is if what they teach us in school is true. and they didnt killed many spanish, the english killed more than the portuguese. we collected a lot of prisioners, and we released many of them. We were smaller than spain and the war lasted a few more years.
Ed Knowz never forget that a lot that is teached in portuguese History classes is not 100% true at least a lot is exaggerated and comes from the "Estado Novo" propaganda that over gloryfield its national heroes (and D.Nuno Alvares Pereira was one of them). I knkw because I also learnt that in classes as you did :D
Subscribed yesterday and now i get this battle. As a portuguese I couldn't be more happy :)

I love Portuguese history! John of Aviz in particular stands out as an amazing character as his descendants would go on to establish the Portuguese empire by conquering Ceuta and creating footholds in Africa.
he was one of our Greatest Kings. Reigned a long time as well, almost 5 decades which at that time was incredible (1385-1433)
The Portuguese were naturally gifted with the skill of guerrila warfare, they used these similar tactics in the Fantastic War, look it up it's epic.
Avé Portucale!
Warwick EnG Guerrilla warfare is in Portugal's DNA, remember how the Lusitans reppeled the Romans? Lusitans (now central Portugal) were never defeated by Roman warfare, only with treason....
lopazio Wow, that's going a long way... Both Portuguese and Spanish consider Viriato a national hero. The Lusitanians are culturally completely different from medieval Portuguese so what you wrote is nonsensical nationalistic propaganda.
There are clear evidences of celtic DNA in Portugal, unslike Spain. You can look it up, the DNA of Portugal has a lot more celtic evidence than the Spanish DNA (wich is comprised more of moorish and latin ancesthry DNA)
North of Portugal = Celtic, the rest of Portugal = Lusitanic
Green Tuga The Galicians, Basques and Asturians would disagree with you. Portugal was under Moorish rule for longer than these regions were.

You fail to understand that "Spain" is a modern invention. A mere copyright infringement. You mean Castilians.
Spain can't even annex Portugal during its lowest moments.
@themailman43 I give you fucking tool, now go back to stinking Spain full of gypsy kings and French bourbon cowards
Can you look into doing the Siege of Tenochtitlan? Because the Aztecs did like building walls it was was not a traditional siege but more like many skirmishes getting close to the city with each victory. These skirmishes took place on the water and earthwork bridges as Tenochtitlan was located on an island in the middle of a lake. The conquistadors and allies had to also build 13 full size brigantines in order to gain superiority on the water. Lets also not forget how insanely large the armies where with 500,000 men in total fighting during the Siege of Tenochtitlan. If you need sources just ask and ill pull them up for information on the battle.
Alright I did some quick searching and found this website that gives a semi detailed account of what happened staring at the title "Both Sides Attempt to Recover" ( www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Battle_of_Tenochtitlan#cite_note-Hassig-0 ) . If you want more information I know that the book "Mexico and the Spanish Conquest" has more detailed account though I have not gotten around to reading it myself.
I would totally love something in the new world for once. Although there is enough medieval battles to go around, the Aztecs and their fearsome warriors is in need of attention because mostly people dont know who they are.
That, or i can settle with something in Asia.
it lasted like three months and there were streets you could barley walk through because of all the dead bodies. They also had to dig a canal to get the ships into the sea.
Exactly. It was stuff like what you mentioned that makes the war of conquest in the Americas so unique. Also the aztec weapons and armor where amazing. The aztec armor was tightly woven out of cotton and other materials and worked much like the European gambeson, except it was much more effective in battle. So effective in fact that ALL of the Conquistadors shed their metal breastplate and gambeson for the Aztec woven armor. Also the main melee weapon of the aztecs, the macuahuitl, hand an obsidian edge that would rarely break and was sharper than a razor. Here is one quote from a Conquistador about the effectiveness of the weapon.
"One Indian at a single stroke cut open the whole neck of Cristóbal de Olid’s horse, killing the horse. The Indian on the other side slashed at the second horseman and the blow cut through the horse’s pastern, whereupon this horse also fell dead."
Where can I find this quote? Also, I heard that they took up Aztec armor because of the usual hot & humid weather of the region. They got cooked in their metal armors...
I love your channel and it really lighten's me up to see you make content regarding the portuguese. If you want to make more, i recommend you go for the Battle of Ourique (1139), or something a bit more deadly and mindblowing battles against all odds: the Battle of Cochin (1504) or the Siege of Diu (1538).
Keep up the good work.

There is yet another legend about this battle you have not spoken off. Legend says , somewhere deep in the ranks of the portuguese footman , a lone soldier , which did not had much recognition and most though he was a joke saw the french cavalry and slain dozens of french soldiers whith no mercy. His name was éder. Became a portuguese god. Some say this isnt true , some say he was a time traveller from euro 2016 , all we know his:
E FOI O ÉDER QUE OS FODEU!!!
Eduardo Borges 😂
Lol. Hahaha
Porra isso está épico haha
Éder:hoje é feriado,caralho!!!
Era fixe se realmente fosse verdade em 1384 xP
A few things that weren't mentioned here:
1 - The soon-to-be-deceased king authorized his daughter's marriage under a signed agreement that the throne could not be claimed Jure uxoris, and that the first male son of the union would inherit the throne of Portugal, but relinquish his claim to the throne of Castille (which would go to the second born), thus keeping both realms separate. After the king's death, however, the Queen Regent declared that treaty null and void, thus starting the sucession war, hence the nickname "Leonor the treacherous".
2 - The video makes it seem as if the king was behind the army movements, when in reality it was the Constable (Nuno Álvares Pereira) who was leading the army, and arguably the greatest military leader the country has ever had. In particular, he used the square tactic to face a 5 times superior army on equal terms, hundreds of years before Wellington. Also, the "pits" described here were not there by accident, but had been deliberately digged and concealed prior to battle, trapping the main charging force of the enemy. Those two moves, both product of the Constable's mind, were essentially what won the battle.
Other than that, awesome video!
Great insight. Good historical precision comment.
i would say that afonso de albuquerque was greater...:)
True but Nuno Álvares Pereira learned this warfare skills with the English: choosing battleground prior to the fight and digging traps. Nevertheless, Portugal Caralho!!!
@@rafaelmarques2920 i see your point but this victories were far more unlikely to be won and far more important for portuguese History. Dont forget that around 6K men including the King were ready to die by the hands of 30K with more armor and battle power. It is unthinkable and it was a miracle.

Os espanhois nunca quiseram lutar ali, tentaram passar e forçar os portugueses a segui-los, e assim abandonar o monte. Nós e os Ingleses provocá-mo-los constantemente com escaramuças e projecteis e a cavalaria francesa atacou o que forçou os espanhóis a lutar ali. Isto está tudo explicado no museu de interpretação da batalha de Aljubarrota. E já agora, a formação esta completamente errada, mais parece a batalha de Agincourt que a de Aljubarrota.. Para os curiosos, o centro da nossa linha era "falso", com uma meia lua de infantaria pesada em segunda linha para simular uma rotura na linha que atraiu os espanhóis para o centro da mesma o que quando as nossas alas avançaram, resultou no total cerco do exercito espanhol. A tática do quadrado é tuguesa antes de ser inglesa ;) Mas isso não interessa aos anglos contar..
Os britanicos nao foram os primeiros mas os portugueses tambem não. O proprio Hannibal colocava a sempre a infantaria menos experiente no centro para criar o mesmo efeito.
Ou seja..
Só fingimos que eramos parvos, e depois dê-mos pontapés nos cús dos Espanhois.
Murcia o problema é que anda por aqui um que diz que a tática do quadrado não existe. Deve pensar que o exerxito estava disposto no polígono em si ao invés de tentar perceber a origem do nome da tática pela funcionalidade

The Battle of Aljubarrota is for Portugal what the Battle of Azincourt is for England! Two poets, Luis de Camões and William Shakespeare, in Lusíadas and in Henry V, told the Stories!
Well done to our Portuguese allies. (Great video btw)
The idea of making the north reinforced by ditches was precisely to make the castillian army attack from the south which, given it was a less steep but longer climb, it had a lot more hidden ditches and other counter-measures. That plus not having to cross a creek completely fooled the castillians. Simple, brilliant and effective.
Similarly, during the French invasions in the XIX century, Portugal was able to keep Its independence thanks to the help of the English under the Treaty of Windsor. The first time a Napoleonic army was defeated was in Portugal, by an Anglo-Portuguese army under the command of Lord Wellington, the hero of Waterloo...
Pois, para não chupar o frances, o frances decidiu chupar o ingles. Viva os chupadores portugueses chupa chupa. O portugues decidiu ser a prostituta da inglaterra ate en 1918.

Sorry, but the first defeat of a Napoleonic army happened in july 1808, in Bailén, by the Spanish army leaded by general Castaños. Vimeiro was the second strike.
@@ftr1453 True, but the French forces were second-line troops, who had originally been raised for internal policing and garrison duty in Prussia. I humbly submit the Battle of Maida, 4th July 1806, in southern Italy as the first defeat of a Napoleonic force, led by Jean Reynier, by a British corps under John Stuart. The French at this battle were of rather sterner stuff, including two battalions each of the 1st and 23rd Légère, one of the 42nd de Ligne, and four squadrons of the 9th Chasseurs à Cheval.

There was also some attempts in the Portuguese flanks (apart the front who had the main battle) but the square keep its integrety. A Castillian almost killed João I, saved in the last fraction of a second by one of his men, killing the castillian., whille already in the movement of the strike (in the Chronicle of the time), hard to believe for some people at least. A movie scenne in Holywood on other battles, even when not true. But was on this battle - in the case its in the principal Chronicle - Fernão Lopes.
A royal bastard named John, commander of a military order is proclaimed king by the nobles, wishing to protect their kingdom and it's independence.

Loved the video.
Now, being Portuguese and working a lot on the history of our country, allow me to contribute.
At Atoleiros, Trancoso (Where Juan fought the forces of people loyal to João de Castro son of Pedro I and Inês de Castro), as well as Aljubarrota, there were Portuguese people on both sides both because of oaths and promised perks. However, at Atoleiros not one fighter for the ones you call rebels died at Atoleiros. Not sure rebels is accurate, all three John had legitimate claims to the throne.
At Aljubarrota the Castilian king was sick and not in very good conditions to study the terrain and command. Still he didn't want to charge with the cavalry, but many of the knight present there were young man, eager to prove themselves (a lot of the more experienced Portuguese and Castilian knights that supported him had died at Atoleiros) and charged against his will, forcing him to send the infantry to help them when they got caught in the traps set by the Portuguese.
The Portuguese at Aljubarrota used the terrain irregularities and also dug lots of holes, places stakes in them and covered them, they dug "covas de lobo" and also used a tactic call "do quadrado" of the square, in which the front line sometimes appeared to break and then the enemy would be met by the rear and the "alas" which were mobile. Openings were left so that the enemy could escape when trapped, because it is easier to kill a fleeing enemy than one fight for its life.
The actual tactic of choosing a good terrain and fighting on foot was of british influence and was adapted to the local reality by Nuno Álvares Pereira; that as well as the moving version of fighting on foot.
There were about 30000 on Juan side, mostly Castilian and Frensh at this point, and 200 British and 6000 Portuguese. Some of the 30000 were killed by their own man trampled under their feet.
As for the Padeira de Aljubarrota there are many versions of the story, which ilustrated the will and actions of the people at that time. Usually it is said she killed 7 Castilians. :p
Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
There is also a story, a few centuries later, in India where 150 Portuguese led by Duarte Pacheco Pereira, with three ships and a fortress manage to stop an army of 50000 with 300 elephants and 150 ships led by the Samorim of Calcutta who was after the Rajá of Cochim for joining with the Portuguese, at the river Cambalam.

"Protector of the realm, King of the Andals, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, First of His Name." Btw attack started with charge of heavy cavalry, uphill, onto prepared defenders, obstacles, traps and spikes? All total war players now are collectively facepalming.
He didnt even think about surrounding the hill,send cavarly from behind
Robert Tauzer its not the first time that a battle like that happened. Se the battle of Courtrai some 40 yrs earlyer than this one, for example. Also later battles like Agincourt happened like that due to the selfishness and the stuborness of the knights
Exept this is not total war and obviously one could not predict hidden traps.
Spaniard here.
The heavy cavarly charge is the most common "strategy" done in Middle Age. Heavy Cavalry was made up by noblemans from the Kingdom. It was the same through all Europe, France, Germany/Austria/HRE, England, etc etc
It was a matter of honor, and they had to be the first ones to start the battle. Latter on, we realized it, and we created Tercios, that used long pikes to counter that typical medieval thing.
Un saludo a todos :D
The portuguese commander probably had been a student of ancient battles as he employed a typical Hannibal strategy of displaying his forces in square formation but with a fake weak center line of infantry. This was crucial to make the spaniard commanders believe they could easily break their center with a heavy cav charge, in reality once the cav reached the center they were enclosed by pikes and since they running uphill their charge wasn't strong enough to break the defensive lines. It seems stupid but they were tricked into making that mistake.
Thank you for these videos. I am a big fan of grand strategy games and this is just perfect for me.

O lado Português estava lutando pela liberdade de sua nação; já o lado Castelhano, lutou por uma ambição expansionista de seu Rei... Talvez por isso os soldados portugueses, mesmo com tanta inferioridade numérica, lutaram com exemplar bravura e coesão.
É um grande exemplo de como a moral dos soldados pode ser essencial numa batalha.
Quando o rei de leão ofereceu aos primos franceses D. Raimundo e D. Henrique o condado portucalense nunca imaginou que se tornasse um reino. Deve se ter arrependido.

not to mention the 1890 ultimatum...I mean lets face it yes colonizing is bad however in terms of two colonial powers it was a dick move.
I hope not.
