Fight into distant times

A different type of fighting, however, is documented in historical accounts. In one dramatic scenario, a decisive victory is reported in which the King of Castile fled in battle while his troops were severely pushed back. The Portuguese foot soldiers fighting in the rear guard were in great danger. While they bravely defended themselves against the attacks of the Castilian horsemen, the constable, on royal orders, turned to help after he became aware of the rather miserable behavior of his troops. These historical details are recorded in the chronicles of Fernão Lopes, which highlight the increasing difficulties of the Castilian troops and how these led to their own disadvantage as they left their enemies no escape route. To learn more about these pivotal moments from the past, the chronicles point out that such tactics often had serious consequences, such as cambridge.org explained.
