The Battle of Aljubarrota took place on August 14, 1385, and was a pivotal conflict during the Portuguese Independence War. The Portuguese forces, led by King John I of Portugal, achieved a decisive victory against the much larger Castilian army commanded by King John I of Castile. This victory solidified Portugal's independence and ensured the stability of the Aviz dynasty founded by John I. The battle was a significant turning point in Portuguese history, securing the country's sovereignty against Castile.
