Battle of the Saltes Island
The naval Battle of the Saltes Island or Battle of Saltes (''Spanish: Batalla de la Isla Saltés'') took place on 17 July 1381, off Saltes Island, between the Crown of Castile and the Kingdom of Portugal during the Third Ferdinand War.〔〔〔 The Castilian fleet commanded by Don Fernando Sánchez de Tovar defeated decisively the Portuguese fleet led by João Afonso Teles de Menezes, Count of Barcelos.〔〔 The result of the battle was the destruction of the naval offensive capability of Portugal, achieving the Castilian naval supremacy in the Atlantic Ocean.〔〔〔
==Background==
Ferdinand I of Portugal, following the death of Peter I of Castile, declared war on Kingdom of Castile for the possession of the Castilian throne. This series of conflicts were known as Ferdinand Wars. In 1381, breaking the Treaty of Santarem (1373), which brought peace to the second war, Ferdinand I decided to attack back to Castile, thus initiating the Third Ferdinand War.〔Batista González. ''España estratégica'' Vol.6〕 For this, he signed an alliance with the young Richard II of England.〔 John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, also had, since 1371, claims to the Castilian throne, and saw in this deal a means of enforcement of this cause, and sent about 2,000 English soldiers under the command of the Earl of Cambridge to Lisbon, to support a Portuguese incursion into the Castilian territory.〔
To prevent the English contingent being intercepted at sea by the navy of Castile, the Portuguese monarch planned a naval blockade. In mid-July 1381, from Lisbon, a Portuguese fleet under the command of João Afonso Teles de Menezes, Count of Barcelos, sailed towards the mouth of the Guadalquivir river to prevent the passage of the Castilian fleet, which was anchored in Seville.〔〔 At the same time, Admiral Fernando Sánchez de Tovar sailed from its base in Seville, heading out to the Portuguese coasts. On 17 July, sailing in opposite directions, the two fleets were sighted each other off the Algarve.〔〔
