Battle of Leça
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
The Battle of River Leça was a military encounter between a 6,800 man Portuguese force led by João Ramalho and Pedro, Count of Trastámara, a Castillian noble who was on the side of Portugal, and the smaller Castilian contingent led by the Archbishop of Santiago sent by John I of Castile to conquer Porto. The Portuguese forces, although smaller at the start, received significant reinforcements from Lisbon (that was being besieged at the time) just before the battle and were hence able to prevent a Castilian attack on Porto.
