The Battle of Trancoso was fought in 29 May 1385〔Monteiro, p.28〕 between the Kingdom of Portugal and the Crown of Castile. Following the coronation of João of Aviz, John I of Castile sent an army into the Portuguese region of Beira in retaliation for Portuguese defiance, where they committed all the kinds of atrocities.〔Pereira Felix, p.116〕 The city of Viseu was plundered and burned,〔Pereira Felix, p.116〕 but when the Castilians were returning to Castile with their booty and the many prisoners they had taken, a Portuguese army met them, dismounted and assumed a defensive formation. The Castilians exhausted themselves in attack but ended up being utterly routed,〔H. V. Livermore, p.102〕〔Pereira Felix, p.116〕 with very high casualties among their ranks, and with six of their seven captains killed.〔Froissart, p.160〕 The Portuguese released all those taken captive by the Castilians and recovered all the pillage taken from their towns.〔Froissart, p.160〕 ==See also== *History of Portugal *House of Avis *Nuno Álvares Pereira *Hundred Years War 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Battle of Trancoso」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
